## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise.

## Documentation

### freshbooks-cli

CLI tool for managing FreshBooks invoices, clients, and billing. Uses the official @freshbooks/api SDK.

### Install

npm install -g @haseebuchiha/freshbooks-cli

Requires .npmrc with @haseebuchiha:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com for GitHub Package Registry.

### Setup (once)

Authenticate with FreshBooks OAuth2. You must use the --manual flag (localhost redirect does not work with FreshBooks).

freshbooks auth login \\
  --client-id "<FRESHBOOKS_CLIENT_ID>" \\
  --client-secret "<FRESHBOOKS_CLIENT_SECRET>" \\
  --manual

This opens the browser. Authorize, then copy the code from the page and paste it into the CLI. Tokens are stored at ~/.config/freshbooks-cli/config.json (0600 permissions) and auto-refresh before expiry.

Verify: freshbooks auth status

### Auth commands

freshbooks auth login --client-id <id> --client-secret <secret> --manual -- authenticate via OAuth2 OOB flow
freshbooks auth logout -- clear stored tokens and credentials
freshbooks auth status -- show account ID, token expiry, and auth state
freshbooks auth refresh -- manually refresh the access token

### Clients commands

freshbooks clients list [-p <page>] [--per-page <n>] [-s <search>] -- list clients, search by org name
freshbooks clients get <id> -- get a single client by ID
freshbooks clients create [--fname <name>] [--lname <name>] [--email <email>] [--organization <org>] -- create a client
freshbooks clients create --data '<json>' -- create with full JSON payload
freshbooks clients update <id> --data '<json>' -- update a client

Example: freshbooks clients create --fname "Taha" --organization "abcg.io"

### Invoices commands

freshbooks invoices list [-p <page>] [--per-page <n>] -- list invoices
freshbooks invoices get <id> -- get a single invoice by ID
freshbooks invoices create --client-id <id> [--lines '<json>'] -- create an invoice with line items
freshbooks invoices create --client-id <id> --data '<json>' -- create with full JSON payload
freshbooks invoices update <id> --data '<json>' -- update an invoice
freshbooks invoices archive <id> -- archive an invoice (no permanent delete in FreshBooks)
freshbooks invoices share-link <id> -- get a shareable link for an invoice

### Line items format

Lines are a JSON array. Each line has name, qty, and unitCost (money object):

[
  {"name": "Web Services", "qty": 1, "unitCost": {"amount": "15000.00", "code": "USD"}},
  {"name": "App Services", "qty": 1, "unitCost": {"amount": "15000.00", "code": "USD"}}
]

Example (full invoice create):

freshbooks invoices create --client-id 818183 \\
  --lines '[{"name":"Web Services","qty":1,"unitCost":{"amount":"15000.00","code":"USD"}},{"name":"App Services","qty":1,"unitCost":{"amount":"15000.00","code":"USD"}}]'

### Onboard a new client and invoice them

freshbooks clients create --fname "Name" --organization "Company" -- note the returned id
freshbooks invoices create --client-id <id> --lines '[...]' -- create the invoice
freshbooks invoices share-link <invoice-id> -- get shareable link

### Look up billing for a client

freshbooks clients list -s "company name" -- find the client ID
freshbooks invoices list -- list all invoices (filter by client in output)
freshbooks invoices get <id> -- get full invoice details

### Notes

All output is JSON to stdout. Pipe to jq for filtering: freshbooks clients list | jq '.clients[].organization'
Money values are {"amount": "string", "code": "USD"}. The amount is always a string like "30000.00", never a number. Do not use parseFloat on money.
archive sets vis_state=1. FreshBooks does not support permanent deletion.
Tokens auto-refresh. If refresh fails, re-run freshbooks auth login --client-id <id> --client-secret <secret> --manual.
Client credentials can also be read from env vars FRESHBOOKS_CLIENT_ID and FRESHBOOKS_CLIENT_SECRET (takes priority over stored config).
Always use --manual for auth login. The localhost callback redirect URI does not work with FreshBooks.
Confirm with the user before creating invoices or modifying billing data.
