SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Messy folders of invoices and receipts with inconsistent filenames make tax preparation and expense tracking slow and error-prone. This Skill reads each document, extracts key details, and produces a clean, consistently named filing system. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Information Extraction: Reads PDFs, scanned images, and screenshots to pull vendor name, invoice number, date, amount, and description. - Standardized Renaming: Renames files to a consistent YYYY-MM-DD Vendor - Invoice - Description format for chronological sorting. - Flexible Organization: Sorts files by vendor, expense category, year, quarter, or tax category, and generates a CSV summary for accountants. - Use Case: You have 147 randomly named invoice PDFs downloaded from email. The Skill reads each one, renames them consistently, sorts them into 2024/Software/Adobe/ style folders, and produces an invoice-summary.csv ready for your accountant. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to read all invoices in your receipts folder, rename them to the standard date-vendor-description format, and organize them into folders by category with a CSV summary.

Frequently Asked Questions about invoice-organizer

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I organize invoices for tax preparation automatically?

Point the Skill at your invoice folder and it reads each PDF or image, extracts the date, vendor, and description, renames files to a YYYY-MM-DD format, and sorts them into category folders. It also generates a CSV summary you can hand to your accountant.

How to rename bulk invoice PDFs with date and vendor name?

The Skill reads the content of each invoice to find the date, vendor, and product or service, then renames files to the pattern `YYYY-MM-DD Vendor - Invoice - Description.pdf`. Files with unreadable content are flagged for manual review.

Can it extract data from scanned receipt images?

Yes, it reads visible text from JPG and PNG receipt images to identify the vendor, date, and total amount. When critical information cannot be extracted, the file is placed in a Needs-Review folder using the file modification date as a fallback.

Does organizing invoices delete or overwrite my original files?

No, the default behavior copies files into the new organized structure while preserving originals. You can request a move instead of a copy, and the Skill shows the full organization plan for approval before making any changes.

What folder structures can I use for invoice filing?

Supported structures include by vendor, by expense category, by year or quarter, and by tax category such as deductible versus personal. A common default is Year/Category/Vendor, and custom hierarchies can be specified.
