AC payroll-gl-reconciliation
Reconcile payroll processor reports (Gusto, ADP, Paychex, Rippling) to general ledger journal entries in QuickBooks Online, Xero, or other accounting software. Automates journal entry creation from payroll summaries, validates wage/tax/benefit allocations to correct GL accounts, detects variances, and flags discrepancies before month-end close. Produces audit-ready reconciliation workpapers. Use when: reconciling payroll registers to GL, mapping payroll processor exports to chart of accounts, creating payroll journal entries, validating employee benefit deductions, or preparing payroll workpapers. NOT for: payroll processing or running payroll (use your payroll platform), tax filing (W-2, 941), on-chain payroll (use on-chain-payroll), HR onboarding, or benefits enrollment.
As a process C 61/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: inputs and preconditions, failures and branches, running it twice
How to improve
- The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- warning
body-longSKILL.md body ≈ 5901 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/
Process rating: all ten parameters 61/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 5901 tokens
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 21 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- low 13 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
