Focus Code Skill Marketplace

Skill Introduction

Overview

Prepares tax-season materials — quarterly estimated tax calculation or year-end 1099 prep — and produces an accountant handoff packet. Accepts optional mode and year arguments.

Core value

Turns reusable Development know-how into an installable skill, helping users complete github, community work faster.

Target users

Developers, testers, and maintainers who handle Development tasks in Focus Code.
Teams that already trust workflows or content from anthropics.
Users who want standardized prompts, steps, or conventions instead of repeating setup work.

Best practices

Read the skill content first to confirm required inputs, expected outputs, and dependencies.
Try it on a small task before relying on it for critical work.
Add project-specific constraints such as coding style, target platform, test expectations, and delivery format.
For external sources, verify the source link, version, and recent maintenance activity.

Best use cases

Tasks related to github, community that need a reusable execution flow.
Converting a community repo, team convention, or personal workflow into day-to-day assistance.
Starting from a proven skill instead of writing prompts or procedures from scratch.

Limits and boundaries

Results depend on the quality of the original skill content and may need human correction.
It does not replace code review, tests, security review, or professional judgment.
External tools, APIs, account permissions, and local dependencies still need separate setup.

Differentiation

Structured around Development, making it easier to discover and reuse than loose prompt snippets.
Marked as GitHub, which helps users judge trust and maintenance expectations.
Keeps the original source link available for repository, documentation, or discussion follow-up.
Tagged with github, community, so it can be filtered by concrete task intent.

Run the tax prep workflow using the tax-season-organizer skill. Act immediately — the user typed /tax-prep, so skip the discovery phase.

Parse arguments:

--mode (default: infer from date — Q1-Q3 defaults to quarterly, Q4/Jan defaults to both) — quarterly for estimated tax payment, 1099 for year-end 1099-NEC prep, both for combined
--year (default: current year)

Framing: Open every deliverable with "Prepared for review by your accountant — not tax advice."

Step 1 — Determine mode

If --mode was not provided:

Check the current date. If Oct–Jan, default to both. Otherwise default to quarterly.
Confirm with the owner: "Based on the time of year, I'll prepare [mode]. Want me to do something different?"

Step 2 — Quarterly estimated tax (if mode includes quarterly)

Pull YTD Profit & Loss from QuickBooks (Jan 1 through last completed quarter).
If QuickBooks is not connected, ask the user to paste net income or upload a CSV.
Ask: "How much have you already paid in estimated taxes this year?"
Calculate: SE tax, adjusted net income, federal income tax estimate (default 22% bracket), quarterly payment due.
State every assumption explicitly — bracket, business type, exclusions.
Deliver the formatted estimate with the due date for the current quarter.

Step 3 — Year-end 1099 prep (if mode includes 1099)

Pull contractor/vendor payments from all connected sources: QuickBooks, PayPal, Stripe.
Aggregate by payee across sources. Flag likely duplicates for human review — never auto-merge.
Apply the $600 threshold. Flag near-threshold payees ($400–$599).
Check W-9 status in QuickBooks for each flagged payee.
Deliver the 1099-NEC candidate list with missing W-9 action items and the PayPal/Stripe 1099-K overlap note.

Approval gates

Not tax advice. State this in every output header.
State every assumption. Bracket, business type, excluded deductions — give the accountant the levers.
Don't merge payees automatically. Flag duplicates for human review.
Don't file anything. Output is prep material only.

Output

End with a next-steps checklist for the accountant: missing W-9s to collect, assumptions to verify, deadlines to hit.
