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.

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.
