Setup guide

Spend Request Agent for DeepSeek - approvals with the policy check done first

The free Spend Request Agent runs on DeepSeek as three plain-text files: set it up once in a DeepSeek chat, approve a sample-data test, then trigger each run with the usage prompt and this run's inputs.

What the Spend Request Agent does

DeepSeek is the low-cost way to run this agent as a packaged prompt. It normalizes incoming spend requests and runs your policy and evidence checks: request, amount, policy check, evidence, approver and status. Approvals become one review, not a reconstruction.

Unrecorded approvals are next year's audit problem. This assistant structures each request as it arrives, checks it against your written policy, lists missing evidence, and drafts the response - with the decision trail saved per request. Hallway asks become a queue you can actually clear.

Where the Included files go in DeepSeek

Upload skill.md at the start of a chat, paste the setup prompt, and approve the sample-data test. Keep the Included files in a folder you can reach: each new chat starts fresh, so you re-attach skill.md and re-paste the usage prompt per run.

What a run looks like on DeepSeek

A run looks like this: you open a fresh chat, attach skill.md, paste the usage prompt with this run's inputs, and DeepSeek works through spend-approvals. The output - it normalizes incoming spend requests and runs your policy and evidence checks: request, amount, policy check, evidence, approver and status - is text you review and carry into your Sheet.

Setup, step by step

  1. Keep the Included files in a folder you can reach; DeepSeek chats start fresh each time.
  2. Start a new chat, upload skill.md and paste setup-prompt.txt.
  3. Run the setup; the agent runs spend-approvals on fictional sample data first - approve that test before real work.
  4. For each real run, open a fresh chat, re-attach skill.md and paste usage-prompt.txt with this run's inputs.

Honest limits on DeepSeek

DeepSeek has no persistent custom-agent feature, so context resets between chats - the agent behaves like a well-packaged DIY prompt: still faster than writing your own, without standing-cycle persistence.
