SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires openpyxl, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Families struggle to maintain a shared budget without connecting bank accounts or installing apps. This Skill builds one shared Excel workbook with live formulas and lets the family log expenses by typing plain-language messages in Hebrew or English. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Workbook Generation: Runs a guided setup interview, then builds a multi-tab .xlsx (transactions, dashboard, goals, recommendations, net worth) with live SUMIFS formulas that survive the Google Sheets import. - Natural-Language Logging: Parses messages like "שילמתי 250 בשופרסל" or "salary 18,500 net" into categorized transaction rows using an Israeli merchant-to-category map, with credit-card reconciliation to avoid double-counting. - Goals & Recommendations: Computes required monthly savings per goal, flags gaps against the monthly surplus, and maps Israeli benefit clubs (תן ביס, חבר, credit-card cashback) to concrete savings actions. - Use Case: An Israeli household asks to set up a family budget, receives a Google-Sheets-ready workbook aligned to a 15th-to-15th salary cycle, then logs daily spending through chat while the dashboard recalculates itself. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to set up a family budget and answer the short setup interview so it can generate your shared budget workbook.

Frequently Asked Questions about family-budget-il

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a shared family budget spreadsheet with Claude?

Ask to set up a family budget and answer a short interview covering family members, income, fixed expenses, and goals. The Skill runs build_workbook.py to generate an .xlsx file, which you upload to Google Drive and open with Google Sheets to share with the family.

How do I log expenses in Hebrew into a budget spreadsheet?

Type a plain message like "שילמתי 250 בשופרסל" and the Skill parses amount, merchant, and date, then returns categorized rows in the exact Transactions column order. Paste the rows into the תנועות tab, or append them directly if the Google Sheets connector is available.

Does the budget workbook work with Google Sheets?

Yes, the generated .xlsx is designed for Google Sheets import. All dashboard cells use SUMIFS and IFERROR formulas that survive the Excel-to-Sheets conversion, and dropdowns use data validation that remains functional after import.

How does the budget avoid double-counting credit card spending?

When both a card's monthly bank deduction and its individual line items are logged, the line items count as real spending and the bank deduction is marked ExcludeFromBudget as a settlement transfer. If only the lump-sum bill is logged, it stays a normal expense.

What Python packages does the family budget workbook builder need?

The build_workbook.py script requires the openpyxl package. The optional recalc.py verification script additionally needs LibreOffice (soffice) installed on the PATH to recalculate formulas and report any formula errors.

Can this budget planner work outside Israel?

Yes, the setup interview asks for country and currency, then swaps Israeli-specific categories like ארנונה and HMOs for local equivalents and skips the Israeli clubs section. The workbook structure, formulas, and logging flow remain the same.
