Automated variance (flux) analysis for accounting close. Compares financial periods (Month-over-Month, Quarter-over-Quarter, Year-to-Date), identifies material variances, recommends drill-down dimensions, generates executive commentary with top drivers, and exports to Excel. Triggers: flux analysis, variance analysis, month over month, quarter over quarter, what changed, top drivers, accounting flux, close commentary, variance commentary, run flux, explain the variance.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Flux Analysis

## Intent

Automated variance analysis for accounting close, providing executive summaries, driver identification, and Excel exports. Designed for controllers, accounting managers, and FP&A analysts who need to explain period-over-period changes in financial statement line items for close packages, management reporting, and audit support.

This skill is for variance analysis and flux commentary generation. Not for: transaction-level lookups, journal entry creation, audit trail queries, or dashboard creation.

## Behavior

### Routing Logic

Detect user intent FIRST, before any other processing:

| User Intent | Mode | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Names a specific ledger account (e.g., "account 220000" or "Travel Expenses") | **Single Account** | Analyze one General Ledger (GL) account with full dimensional drill-down |
| Names a use case grouping (e.g., "Outside Services", "Prepaid Expenses") | **Use Case** | Analyze all accounts in a logical grouping with per-account materiality |
| "Run all", "batch run", "full close run", "all use cases" | **Batch All** | Process every configured use case in parallel, produce close workbook |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add snowflake-labs/coco-skills/flux_analysis@sha256:920b0b5c21f97930

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
