Frequently Asked Questions about money

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

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate ledger queries and balance checks without using the CLI directly?▼

You can automate ledger queries and balance checks using an in-process facade that wraps the money CLI, executing BQL-style queries and returning JSON outputs without spawning subprocesses.

Can I generate invoices and record payments in-process across multiple ledgers?▼

Yes, in-process invoice generation, manual invoice creation, and payment recording are supported across configurable profiles and multiple ledgers, responding with structured JSON outputs.

What is BQL-style querying for accounting workflows?▼

BQL-style querying allows you to retrieve ledger data and check balances programmatically through an in-process facade, eliminating the need to manually juggle external CLI commands or scripts.

How do I import work logs and manage transactions using CSV files?▼

Work log management and CSV imports are handled in-process, allowing you to automate transaction recording and integrate the data directly with Monarch sync when configured.

Do I need to install a separate money package to use these accounting features?▼

The Skill operates using a vendored money package, meaning the required CLI functionality is bundled internally and accessed via an in-process facade without needing external subprocess execution.

What are the limitations of in-process accounting for financial workflows?▼

In-process accounting requires the vendored money package and reads user context from the Istota config, meaning it is constrained to environment-based credentials and does not spawn external subprocesses for CLI operations.
