What it does
You share budget, actual, or prior-period numbers. Claude decomposes the variance into price, volume, and mix effects and writes a plain-language explanation. You get a breakdown and narrative ready for a leadership report.
Who it’s for
A good fit for bookkeepers, finance teams and business owners and people who work with spreadsheets and numbers.
Do you need to code?
No. You can use this without writing or editing any code.
How to install
Add it as a skill, or as part of its plugin. This skill also ships inside a plugin, so you can upload just this skill to Claude, or install the whole plugin it comes in. See the step-by-step guide.
Safety note
Gives financial info - not professional advice.
As with any add-on, only install skills from sources you trust, and read what it does first.
