Create a bookkeeping context profile before downstream bookkeeping work. Captures entity type, tax jurisdiction, accounting method, chart of accounts baseline, connected tools, approval thresholds, record-retention policy, and review boundaries. Trigger on "set up my bookkeeping", "bookkeeping context", "chart of accounts", "cash or accrual", "configure my books", "what info do you need before bookkeeping".

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

# Bookkeeping Setup

Create the operating context that every later bookkeeping skill should use. Without this profile, agents guess about entity type, accounting method, tax treatment, approval boundaries, and chart-of-accounts structure.

Use this skill first for a new business, a new agent workspace, a messy catch-up project, or any workflow where the downstream skills do not yet know how the books are supposed to work.

## Output

Produce a `bookkeeping_context_profile` and a short setup checklist. Store or return it in a reviewable format the user can reuse.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add receiptor-ai/bookkeeping-skills/bookkeeping-setup@sha256:5529305c749bcfb8

The line at the top of this page pins the label v3.0, 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.
