Description
plan-payroll is a chain from Anthropic's knowledge-work plugins, listed on skills.sh. It runs the payroll confidence process from end to end in three steps. The first step, which uses cash-flow-snapshot, decides whether payroll is covered: it forecasts cash across the payroll window and gives a one-line verdict of covered, tight, or short by a named amount on a named date. The second step closes any gap, by ranking and drafting reminders for overdue invoices. The third step runs payroll. The point of the chain is that the question of whether payroll can be met and the act of running it are kept together, so the bank balance is checked before a run is entered. The options set the forecast horizon, which is thirty, sixty or ninety days, and the payroll date, which defaults to the next scheduled pay date. It suits small business owners who run payroll themselves and want to be sure the money is there before they press the button.…
