Personal budgeting and financial planning skill. Use when: (1) Analyzing spending patterns by category or time period, (2) Comparing budget vs actual spending, (3) Calculating savings rates, (4) Forecasting cash flow, (5) Planning tax-aware financial decisions. Tools: actual-mcp for budget/transaction data, ghostfolio-mcp for investment portfolio context. --- # Personal Budgeting ## Tool Mapping | Task | MCP Server | Key Tools | |------|-----------|-----------| | Transaction history, balances, budgets | actual-budget | `transaction(operation="list")`, `account(operation="list")`, `budget(operation="months"|"month")` | | Category breakdowns | actual-budget | `analytics(operation="spending_by_category")`, `category(operation="groups_list")` | | Investment balances and allocation | ghostfolio-mcp | `get_portfolio_summary`, `get_portfolio_positions` | | Net worth calculation | Both | Actual (cash/debt) + Ghostfolio (investments) | ## Spending Analysis ### Category Breakdown 1. Pull transactions for the target period using `transaction(operation="list")` with date range filters 2. Group by category — report both absolute amounts and percentage of total spend 3. Flag categories that exceed their budget allocation 4. Present results as a ranked table: Category | Budgeted | Actual | Variance | % of Total ### Month-over-Month Trends 1. Pull 3-6 months of transaction data 2. Compute per-category monthly totals 3. Calculate month-over-month change (absolute and percentage) 4. Flag categories with sustained increases (3+ consecutive months of growth) 5. Distinguish between recurring/fixed expenses (rent, insurance, subscriptions) and variable expenses (groceries, dining, entertainment) ### Anomaly Detection - Flag individual transactions > 2x the category's average transaction size - Flag categories where current month spend exceeds the trailing 3-month average by > 25% - Flag new payees not seen in prior months (potential new subscriptions) ## Budget vs Actual Variance Analysi

Skill files are scattered across GitHub and communities, difficult to search, and hard to evaluate. SkillWink organizes open-source skills into a searchable, filterable library you can directly download and use.
We provide keyword search, version updates, multi-metric ranking (downloads / likes / comments / updates), and open SKILL.md standards. You can also discuss usage and improvements on skill detail pages.
Sort by downloads/likes/comments/updated to find higher-quality skills.
4. Which import methods are supported?
Upload archive: .zip / .skill (recommended)
Upload skills folder
Import from GitHub repository
Note: file size for all methods should be within 10MB.
5. How to use in Claude / Codex?
Typical paths (may vary by local setup):
Claude Code:~/.claude/skills/
Codex CLI:~/.codex/skills/
One SKILL.md can usually be reused across tools.
6. Can one skill be shared across tools?
Yes. Most skills are standardized docs + assets, so they can be reused where format is supported.
Example: retrieval + writing + automation scripts as one workflow.
7. Are these skills safe to use?
Some skills come from public GitHub repositories and some are uploaded by SkillWink creators. Always review code before installing and own your security decisions.
8. Why does it not work after import?
Most common reasons:
Wrong folder path or nested one level too deep
Invalid/incomplete SKILL.md fields or format
Dependencies missing (Python/Node/CLI)
Tool has not reloaded skills yet
9. Does SkillWink include duplicates/low-quality skills?
We try to avoid that. Use ranking + comments to surface better skills:
