Design a budget-vs-actuals tracker that stays alive past February — the category grain that matches real statements, the variance view that answers 'are we okay', the update ritual small enough to survive, and the honest handling of irregular expenses. Use when asked build me a budget spreadsheet, track team spend against budget, why do we always blow the budget invisibly, or design a household/project budget tracker. Produces the tracker structure, the variance logic, the irregulars ledger…
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
# Budget Tracker Design Skill Budget trackers die two deaths: too granular (forty categories nobody can code a coffee receipt into — abandoned by February) or too vague (three buckets that hide every overrun until it's structural). The living tracker matches its grain to *how spending actually arrives* (statement lines, invoices), answers one question at a glance — "are we okay, and where not?" — handles irregular expenses honestly (the annual insurance bill is not a "shock"), and costs fifteen minutes a month, because the ritual's survivability is the design's real constraint. ## What This Skill Produces - **The structure** — categories at statement-grain (8–15, not 40), the month × category grid, budget column with its source - **The variance view** — actual vs. budget with the month-and-YTD dual read, conditional signals at honest thresholds - **The irregulars ledger** — annual/lumpy expenses spread as monthly accruals so they stop being surprises - **The ritual** — the fifteen-minute monthly update, sourced from statements, calendared ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: …

How to install
mdr add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills/budget-tracker-design@sha256:cd344a766e4e73e1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260719.8f98b70, 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.
