- description:
- Forecasts cash, ranks overdue invoices, and stages PayPal reminders so the owner can confidently run payroll. Accepts optional horizon and payroll-date arguments.

Run the payroll-confidence pipeline by chaining two skills. The owner approves at each handoff — never send a reminder or commit a forecast without explicit confirmation.
Parse arguments:
--horizon(default30) — forecast window in days (30, 60, or 90)--payroll-date(optional) — the date payroll runs; defaults to next Friday
Step 1 — Cash forecast (cash-flow-snapshot)
Trigger the cash-flow-snapshot skill workflow:
- Pull AR, AP, and historical cash timing from QuickBooks, PayPal, Stripe, or Square (whichever are connected). Fall back to CSV upload if no connector is live.
- Layer in known fixed costs (rent, payroll, recurring vendor charges).
- Produce a 30/60/90-day forecast (use the requested
--horizon) with percentage-variance confidence bands. - Flag named risks — e.g., "payroll on May 15 lands $4,200 below your fixed-cost floor at the median forecast."
- Deliver chat summary + downloadable XLSX.
- Present to the owner. Wait for explicit "okay, see what we can collect" before Step 2.
If the forecast shows payroll is comfortably covered, ask the owner whether they still want to chase overdue invoices or stop here.
Step 2 — Overdue collection (invoice-chase)
After Step 1 approval, trigger the invoice-chase skill workflow:
- Pull overdue invoices from QuickBooks and PayPal.
- Rank by amount × days-late × customer payment history.
- For each, draft a reminder matched to tone (gentle for good customers, firm for repeat late payers).
- PayPal-issued invoices queue as PayPal-send drafts; non-PayPal invoices queue as Mail drafts.
- Present the ranked list with drafted reminders. Show the projected cash impact if a top-N subset gets paid within the horizon — does that close the payroll gap from Step 1?
- Wait for explicit "send these" per reminder (or batch approval) before pushing.
Approval gates (must hold)
- Never send a reminder without owner approval — drafts only until "send" is given.
- Never commit a forecast as authoritative without owner sign-off.
- If a connector is unreachable (QuickBooks, PayPal, Mail), stop, report which connector failed, and ask whether to retry, fall back to CSV, or abort.
Output
End the run with a one-paragraph recap: forecast verdict (covered / gap / risk), reminders sent and to whom, projected new cash position if reminders convert.

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."

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.

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.
