What recipe-create-expense-tracker does

The skill creates a Google Sheets file named “Expense Tracker 2025”, adds the Date, Category, Description and Amount headers, and enters a sample expense: a flight to NYC for 450.00. It then grants a manager reader access.

It requires the gws CLI plus the gws-sheets and gws-drive skills. The recipe runs gws drive and gws sheets commands, so load both prerequisite skills first. Install it when this layout and sharing step fit your workflow; use a different recipe if you need other columns or setup steps.
