## What it does

This skill guides agents to blueprint invoices before rendering. It first creates a `content_and_design.md` file capturing party details, line items, and tax math. The agent refuses to invent banking records or tax identification numbers. Missing parameters receive an explicit `TBD — user must supply` flag.

Math reconciliation is mandatory: line sums and tax calculations must align down to the cent. When numbers conflict, the agent stops and marks `NEEDS USER CONFIRMATION` rather than guessing. Generating the final document requires the core `k2f` skill installed via `npx skills add suzheng/k2f --skill k2f`, because invoice packages rely on its compilation engine.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add suzheng/k2f --skill k2f-invoice -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/k2f-invoice/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/k2f-invoice/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add suzheng/k2f --skill k2f-invoice -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/k2f-invoice/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add suzheng/k2f --skill k2f-invoice -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/k2f-invoice/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install suzheng/k2f k2f-invoice
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/k2f-invoice/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add suzheng/k2f --skill k2f-invoice -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/suzheng/k2f --path skills/business/k2f-invoice
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/k2f-invoice/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add suzheng/k2f --skill k2f-invoice -a opencode
```

## When to use it
- build structured invoices from timesheets or raw line items
- reconcile line totals, discounts, and sales tax within one cent
- draft pro forma invoices without premature payment blocks
- create a clean K2F blueprint ready for PDF export

## Example prompts
- Create an invoice from these consulting hours and hourly rates
- Draft a pro forma invoice in EUR with net 30 payment terms
- Format a reconciled bill with a 10% discount and sales tax breakdown

name: k2f-invoice
description: Create payment-ready invoices from line items, rates, client details, tax rules, and terms—structured so totals reconcile and AP can pay without back-and-forth. Use when the user asks for an invoice, bill, receivable, pro forma invoice, or branded invoice PDF. Create invoices with AI-native design and the highest aesthetic standards, powered by the K2F format and engine. Purpose-built for AI agents, K2F lets them focus on semantic content and design intent while automatically handling layout, typography, and formatting complexity.

# K2F Invoice — AI-Native Aesthetic Design

## Purpose

Teach agents to blueprint invoices before layout: legally and operationally complete party and reference data, a reconciled line-item and tax math story, and visual hierarchy that surfaces **what is owed, by when, and how to pay**—without inventing banking, tax IDs, or amounts the user did not supply.

## Built on K2F

This skill produces invoices as `.K2F` packages. Follow the **k2f** skill for authoring: unpack or init a workspace, edit the semantic tree, run pack/verify, then export. K2F keeps agents on *meaning* (parties, line roles, totals, payment block)—not pixel coordinates—while the engine compiles layout, typography, and theme into consistent output across PDF and other formats.

Before you build, install the core skill: `npx skills add suzheng/k2f --skill k2f`.

## When to Use

- Issuing a new invoice from a quote, timesheet, contract, or pasted line items.
- Rebuilding a messy or generic AI invoice so math, references, and payment details align.
- Pro forma or deposit invoices where due date and amount semantics differ from a standard bill.

## Workflow

### Step 1. Generate the content_and_design.md

Single blueprint for semantic content and aesthetic intent. Use labeled blocks the **k2f** skill can map to regions later.

**Sub-steps**

1. **Invoice type & jurisdiction lock** — Standard bill, pro forma, deposit/partial, or credit-style adjustment. Note currency, locale (date and number formatting), and whether tax is inclusive or exclusive. Omit sections the type does not need (e.g., skip “amount due” hero on non-collecting pro forma).

2. **Party & identity block** — Seller: legal name, address, contact, logo intent, tax/VAT ID **only if user provided**. Buyer: bill-to name and address; optional ship-to or attention line. Never fabricate registration numbers or bank details.

3. **Reference metadata** — Invoice number, issue date, due date (or explicit “Due on receipt / Net N”). PO, project, contract, or customer reference when supplied. One currency code for the whole document; flag missing due date before layout.

4. **Line-item architecture** — Table-first, not prose paragraphs. Per row: clear description, quantity, unit, unit price, line amount. Group optional sections (services vs expenses, milestones) only when the user’s data already splits that way. Discounts as explicit negative lines or percent note tied to a subtotal rule—never hidden in copy.
