## What it does

The skill scans three months of transactions for signs of accounts: savings deposits, investment contributions, loan payments. It calls `transaction_search` three times with different queries — savings, investments, debt — then compiles the accounts it found.

Next it asks you for current balances on each detected account, plus anything transactions cannot show: home value, vehicle value, credit card balances. The output is a statement split into ASSETS and LIABILITIES with totals for each and a NET WORTH line. Run it again with last period's numbers and it computes the delta and points at the biggest contributor to the change.

The catch: the agent never knows your balances. `transaction_search` sees account activity, not what sits in the account, so the figures come from you. Property and vehicle values are estimates, and the skill advises conservative ones. Personal property like furniture or electronics stays out unless it has real resale value.

# Net Worth Tracker

## Overview
Calculates your net worth by combining transaction-derived data (savings deposits, investment contributions, debt payments) with user-provided account balances. Produces a formatted net worth statement and tracks changes over time.

## Wilson Tools Used
- `transaction_search` — find savings deposits, investment contributions, and debt payments to identify accounts and activity

## Workflow
1. Run `transaction_search` with `query: "savings OR transfer to savings OR deposit"` and `months: 3` to identify savings account activity.
2. Run `transaction_search` with `query: "investment OR 401k OR IRA OR brokerage OR Vanguard OR Fidelity OR Schwab"` and `months: 3` to find investment contributions.
3. Run `transaction_search` with `query: "mortgage OR loan payment OR student loan OR auto loan"` and `months: 3` to find liability-related payments.
4. From the results, compile a list of accounts detected (savings accounts, investment accounts, loan accounts).
5. Ask the user to provide current balances for each detected account, plus any accounts not visible in transactions (home value, vehicle value, other assets, credit card balances).
6. Organize into a net worth statement:

   ```
   ASSETS
   ──────────────────────────────────
   Checking Accounts       $X,XXX.XX
   Savings Accounts        $X,XXX.XX
   Investment Accounts     $X,XXX.XX
   Retirement (401k/IRA)   $X,XXX.XX
   Property                $X,XXX.XX
   Vehicles                $X,XXX.XX
   Other Assets            $X,XXX.XX
   ──────────────────────────────────
   TOTAL ASSETS            $XX,XXX.XX

   LIABILITIES
   ──────────────────────────────────
   Credit Cards            $X,XXX.XX
   Student Loans           $X,XXX.XX
   Auto Loans              $X,XXX.XX
   Mortgage                $X,XXX.XX
   Other Liabilities       $X,XXX.XX
   ──────────────────────────────────
   TOTAL LIABILITIES       $XX,XXX.XX

   ══════════════════════════════════
   NET WORTH               $XX,XXX.XX
   ══════════════════════════════════
   ```

7. If the user has run this skill before and provides previous balances, calculate the change in net worth and show the delta.
8. Highlight the biggest contributor to net worth growth or decline.
