Fair warning: this is a very nerdy work in progress. It describes a system I built for my own household and my own small business, and it reflects my situation, my banks, and my tolerance for plain-text ledgers. It is not accounting, tax, or legal advice. If you run with it, you do so at your own risk, and please keep a real CPA in the loop.
That said, I'm happy to chat. Questions, feedback, and "here's what broke" reports are all welcome by email or on Bluesky.
A reconstruction guide for building a personal + small-business bookkeeping system that Claude Code operates. Give this whole document to Claude Code in an empty repository and work through it phase by phase (see Part 15, Build order).
