## What it does

The skill inspects account transactions across the past 12 months using Wilson's `transaction_search` tool. It queries merchant names and terms like Geico, State Farm, Progressive, Aetna, or premium. After pulling records, it categorizes each payment into auto, direct health, home or renters, life, disability, umbrella, or pet insurance, calculating payment frequency and total annual spend.

Spend figures are matched against typical ranges, such as $1,400 to $2,400 annually for car insurance or $150 to $300 for renters coverage. When expenses run high, the workflow flags them and outlines next steps, including multi-policy bundling discounts or deductible adjustments. Keep in mind that employer-deducted health insurance never touches your bank balance, so the tool cannot track it from account statements alone.

# Insurance Audit

## Overview
Identifies all insurance-related transactions in your history, calculates your total annual insurance spend, breaks it down by type (health, auto, home/renters, life, etc.), and compares your costs to typical ranges so you can spot overpaying.

## Wilson Tools Used
- `transaction_search` — find all insurance premium payments across your accounts

## Workflow
1. Run `transaction_search` with `query: "insurance OR premium OR Geico OR State Farm OR Allstate OR Progressive OR USAA OR Liberty Mutual OR Nationwide OR MetLife OR Aetna OR UnitedHealth OR Cigna OR Blue Cross OR Kaiser"` and `months: 12` to capture all insurance payments over the past year.
2. Group results by merchant/description and classify each into an insurance type:
   - Auto insurance
   - Health insurance (if paid directly, not employer-deducted)
   - Homeowners / Renters insurance
   - Life insurance
   - Disability insurance
   - Umbrella / Liability insurance
   - Pet insurance
   - Other
3. For each type, calculate: payment frequency (monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual), per-payment amount, and total annual cost.
4. Present the insurance summary:

   ```
   INSURANCE AUDIT
   ══════════════════════════════════════════════════
   Type              Frequency    Payment    Annual
   ────────────────  ──────────   ────────   ────────
   Auto Insurance    Monthly      $145       $1,740
   Renters Ins.      Monthly      $18        $216
   Health (direct)   Monthly      $380       $4,560
   Life Insurance    Monthly      $42        $504
   ══════════════════════════════════════════════════
   TOTAL ANNUAL INSURANCE COST:              $7,020
   % of Annual Income:                       X.X%
   ```

5. Compare each line to typical cost ranges:
   - Auto: $1,400-$2,400/year (national average ~$1,900) depending on coverage, age, and location
   - Renters: $150-$300/year
   - Homeowners: $1,200-$2,500/year (varies heavily by location)
   - Term Life (30-year-old, $500k): $200-$500/year
6. Flag any insurance type significantly above the typical range.
7. Suggest action items: get comparison quotes for flagged policies, check for bundling discounts, review coverage levels and deductibles.

## Without Wilson
1. Gather your insurance information from these sources:
   - Auto: check your insurer's portal or your most recent declaration page (mailed every 6 months). Companies: geico.com, progressive.com, statefarm.com.
   - Health: check your pay stub for employer-deducted premiums, or your marketplace account at healthcare.gov.
