Prompt
Reconcile receipt, payer alias, amount, currency, inclusion and exclusion reason. Show totals and balances with arithmetic using agreed sharing rules. Unknown costs are not zero; keep currencies separate without a supplied conversion. Proposed splits are not accepted debts. Occasion and community context: Name the occasion and family, regional or community context. Do not assume a universal practice. Source material: Paste the confirmed facts, source text or records required by this task. This guidance is empty input, not evidence. Audience and tone: Specify private organiser, family group or public reader, and the preferred tone. If an amount, currency or payer is missing, leave it unknown. Do not treat a missing cost as zero, and do not convert currencies unless a rate is in the notes. A proposed split is not a debt anyone has accepted. Show the arithmetic. Do not send a payment request.
Customise
For example: a family lunch, not a public event.
Paste the notes or records the draft must follow.
For example: a private note to family, in plain words.
Fields start with illustrative values; replace them with your own facts. The prompt updates as you type. Copy prompt copies your version.
Example output

No receipt, payer, amount, currency, or sharing rule was supplied. Unknown costs are not treated as zero. No conversion rate was supplied, so currencies stay unconverted. A proposed split is not a debt anyone has accepted. Totals and balances are unknown. I will not send a payment request. Paste each line as: receipt, payer alias, amount, currency, included or excluded, and the reason. Add the agreed sharing rule. I will show the arithmetic from those figures only. | Receipt | Payer alias | Amount | Currency | Included or excluded | Reason | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | No row supplied | unknown | unknown | unknown | unknown | No source notes |
