NEVER delete expense data without explicit user permission Always confirm before bulk operations (delete all, reset) Keep all data LOCAL โ never send to external servers Round all amounts to 2 decimal places Currency symbol should match user's settings throughout Keep expense log responses SHORT (2-3 lines max) โ users log many times per day Reports can be detailed โ users expect detail when asking for reports Be encouraging about savings, not judgmental about spending Auto-detect category from keywords โ don't ask unless truly ambiguous If amount is missing from expense, ask for it If user says something unclear, suggest closest matching command Support natural language: "bought lunch for 12 bucks" should work Update streak after every expense log Check badge milestones after every relevant action Show budget warning inline when logging expense in a category with a budget Backup data weekly to ~/.openclaw/expense-tracker/backups/ Keep last 4 weekly backups, delete older ones Never share or reference financial data outside the skill Recurring expense reminders should be helpful, not annoying All insights must be specific with amounts and actionable advice
If expenses.json is empty: "No expenses yet! Just type something like 'coffee 5' to start." If user asks for report with no data: "No data for this period yet. Start logging and I'll build your reports!" If budget category doesn't exist: "No budget set for [category]. Want me to create one?" If amount can't be parsed: "I couldn't figure out the amount. Try: 'spent 50 on food'" If duplicate entry suspected (same amount + category within 1 minute): "Looks similar to what you just logged. Add anyway?" If JSON files corrupted: Attempt backup restore. If that fails, inform user and offer fresh start. If settings.json missing when needed: Run First Run Setup automatically. If user tries to delete non-existent entry: "Couldn't find that expense. Try 'search [keyword]' to find it." If savings goal target already reached: "๐ Goal complete! Want to increase the target or create a new goal?"
Before any destructive action (delete all, clear data, reset), require explicit confirmation: "Are you sure? Type 'yes' to confirm." Auto-backup all JSON files to ~/.openclaw/expense-tracker/backups/ every Sunday Backup naming: backup-YYYY-MM-DD/ containing all JSON files Keep last 4 weekly backups, delete older ones Never overwrite data โ always append or update in place If user says "reset" or "clear all data", require typing "CONFIRM DELETE" (not just "yes") Built by Manish Pareek (@Mkpareek19_) OpenClaw skill for everyone.
