Run the month-end heads-up. Pull forward-looking cash data and give the owner a clear "here's what the next 30 days look like" picture with specific things to watch.
Parse arguments:

Month-End Heads Up — {current date}

If QuickBooks is unreachable, stop — the cash forecast requires QB as the source of truth. If PayPal is missing, run the forecast from QB-only data and note "PayPal not connected — PayPal receivables excluded from forecast." Same for Stripe/Square if missing.
Present the formatted brief and offer to draft chase emails for any flagged overdue invoices.
testing
Reads a forwarded customer email or ticket, pulls order/refund status from PayPal and account history from HubSpot, drafts a tone-matched reply in the owner's writing voice, and can issue a PayPal refund with explicit owner approval. Use when the user says "draft a response," "answer this customer," "where's my order," or "I want a refund."
development
Prepares tax-season materials for small business owners — framed as deliverables for their accountant, not tax advice. Two modes: (1) quarterly estimated tax calculation — pulls YTD net income from QuickBooks and calculates the federal income tax + self-employment tax liability and quarterly payment due; (2) year-end 1099 prep — scans QuickBooks, PayPal, and Stripe for contractors paid over $600, builds a 1099-NEC candidate list with missing W-9 flags, and produces a plain-English summary a CPA can work from directly. Trigger this skill whenever the user mentions: quarterly taxes, estimated tax payment, how much to set aside for taxes, 1099s, 1099-NEC, year-end tax prep, contractor payments, W-9s, or any phrase suggesting they are preparing for a tax deadline or handing materials to an accountant. Also trigger proactively when a user asks about net profit or YTD income in a context that suggests they are worried about their tax bill.
tools

The front door to the Small Business plugin. Listens to what the owner needs right now — vague or specific — and routes them to the best skill or slash command for the moment. Also serves as a guide: explains what's available, suggests what to try next, and adapts recommendations based on stored business context. Trigger whenever the owner asks "what can you do," "help me with my business," "what should I focus on," "I don't know where to start," or any open-ended business request that doesn't clearly match a single skill.
