Setup guide

Transaction Categorization Agent for Town

The $19 Transaction Categorization Agent runs on Town as three plain-text files: set it up once in Town, approve a sample-data test, then trigger each run with the usage prompt and this run's inputs.

What the Transaction Categorization Agent does

Town already runs your inbox and calendar - this agent becomes one more job it owns. It proposes a category for every uncoded transaction with the evidence: date, payee, amount, proposed category, evidence, review status. You approve the batch.

Uncoded transactions pile up all month, and categorizing them means reading payee strings and trying to remember how you coded the same vendor last time.

Where the three files go in Town

Share the three files with Town and ask it to keep skill.md as the standing rules for the job, then run the setup prompt and approve the fictional-data test. Town's email and calendar focus pairs well with agents whose output is a draft, a schedule or a follow-up queue.

What a run looks like on Town

A run looks like this: you ask Town to run transaction-categorization with this run's inputs, and it works through the standing rules you gave it. The output - it proposes a category for every uncoded transaction with the evidence: date, payee, amount, proposed category, evidence, review status - is prepared for your review alongside the rest of your delegated work.

Setup, step by step

  1. Share skill.md, setup-prompt.txt and usage-prompt.txt with Town and ask it to keep the skill as the standing rules for the job (for example: transaction categorization).
  2. Run the setup prompt; the agent runs transaction-categorization on fictional sample data first - approve that test before real work.
  3. Town's inbox-and-calendar focus pairs best with agents whose output is a draft, a schedule or a follow-up queue.
  4. Trigger each real run with one message and this run's inputs.

Honest limits on Town

Town is inbox-and-calendar centric and its feature set is young; confirm its current file and memory handling in Town's own documentation before a big setup.
