Install

Start with the ZIP package, then choose the AI tool workflow that fits your setup.

Download domestic-budget-tracker.zip (1.9 KB).
Open the package and read SKILL.md, plus any included references, templates, or scripts.
Use the instructions directly in any AI tool that supports reusable instructions, project knowledge, custom agents, or uploaded reference files.

For Claude Code, unzip into ~/.claude/skills/ so the folder lands at ~/.claude/skills/domestic-budget-tracker/, then reload Claude Code. For Claude.ai, upload the same ZIP from Customize → Skills.

Use with other AI tools

This package is not locked to one vendor. If your AI tool does not support Claude-style skills, copy the core instructions from SKILL.md into the tool's custom instructions, project prompt, agent setup, or reusable prompt library.

Upload or paste any included reference files as project knowledge where your tool supports it.
Keep the output format from SKILL.md intact so results stay predictable.
Run a small test with your own data before using the workflow in production.

Compatibility depends on the features your AI tool provides. Treat scripts as optional local helpers unless your environment can run them safely.

What it does

Domestic Budget Tracker helps you log daily household expenses, categorize them (food, utilities, transport, etc.), and see how much you have left in your monthly budget. It runs entirely inside Claude Code — no external app, no signup, no data leaving your session.

Who it is for

Individuals or small households who want a lightweight expense log.
People who already use Claude Code for other tasks and want to add budget tracking without switching tools.
Anyone who finds full-featured budgeting apps too complex or privacy-invasive.

How to install and use

Download the skill ZIP from this page.
Extract the files into your Claude Code project folder.
In Claude Code, run: /skill domestic-budget-tracker
Follow the prompts to set your monthly budget and start logging expenses.

Example

Input: "Log grocery shopping $45.30" Output: "Added $45.30 to Food. Remaining budget for Food this month: $154.70."

Input: "Show my budget summary" Output: A table with categories, spent, remaining, and percentage used.

Limitations

Data is stored in a local JSON file — not synced across devices.
No multi-user support. For shared household budgets, one person must log all entries.
No automatic import from bank statements. All entries are manual.

Download

Download the ZIP and start tracking your domestic economy in minutes.

Monthly Bill Reminder — for tracking recurring payments.
Savings Goal Planner — for setting and tracking savings targets.

Verdict 4/5

A straightforward skill for anyone who wants to keep a simple expense log without a dedicated app. Works best for single-person or small household budgets.
