Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins at da38ec1ee8.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill assists with month-end close management workflows by providing structured checklists, task sequencing information, and dependency tracking for common activities. It organizes these tasks into daily schedules (Pre-Close, Close Day 1, Close Day 2, and Close Day 3) to streamline the process. Important: This skill is intended as a workflow aid and does not provide financial advice; all close activities should be reviewed by qualified professionals.

When to use it

  • When needing a structured checklist for month-end closing procedures.
  • To ensure tasks are completed in the correct sequence with dependencies considered.
  • For teams looking to standardize their month-end close process and improve efficiency.
  • As a reference guide for common activities involved in financial close.

Key capabilities

  • Provides a pre-defined month-end close checklist organized by day (Pre-Close, Close Day 1, Close Day 2, Close Day 3).
  • Outlines task sequencing and dependencies within the closing process.
  • Includes common close activities such as bank reconciliation, accrual postings, revenue recognition, and intercompany transaction processing.

Example prompts

  • "Show me the checklist for Pre-Close."
  • "What are the tasks for Close Day 1?"
  • "List all steps related to bank reconciliation."
  • “What needs to be done before running fixed asset depreciation?”

Tips & gotchas

  • This skill is a guide and does not replace professional financial advice. Always review results with qualified professionals.
  • The checklists provided are general; adapt them to your specific organizational requirements.
  • Ensure all contributors understand the close calendar and deadlines for optimal workflow.
