How you could try it

Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Claude or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.

Finance task: consolidate bank statements into a spending dashboard. Tabulate numbers, mark uncertainties, and do not file, pay, or submit until I confirm.

Tip: Keep the agent in 'propose, don't pay' mode: let it gather numbers and draft messages, and approve any payment or account change yourself.
