Setup guide

Cash Flow Forecast Agent for Grok - forecasting without the Friday scramble

The free Cash Flow Forecast Agent runs on Grok as three plain-text files: set it up once in a Grok Skill or Bot, approve a sample-data test, then trigger each run with the usage prompt and this run's inputs.

What the Cash Flow Forecast Agent does

If you work inside X or Grok's apps, this agent becomes a standing Skill there. It rolls your approved receivable, payable and planned cash rows into a transparent 13-week forecast: week, opening cash, inflows, outflows, closing cash and the assumption behind each line.

A stale forecast is worse than none - people trust it. This assistant keeps the 13 weeks current, records the assumption behind each row so changes are traceable, and drafts the summary. Board asks stop meaning late nights, because the sheet is already current when the question arrives.

Where the Included files go in Grok

Attach the Included files to a chat or build a Grok Skill/Bot with skill.md as the standing expertise, then run the setup prompt and approve the fictional-data test. Skills keep the rules persistent between asks.

What a run looks like on Grok

A run looks like this: you invoke the Skill with this run's inputs, and Grok works through cash-flow-forecasting. The output - it rolls your approved receivable, payable and planned cash rows into a transparent 13-week forecast: week, opening cash, inflows, outflows, closing cash and the assumption behind each line - comes back for your review, and with Grok's Office document generation it can arrive as a formatted file.

Setup, step by step

  1. Create a Grok Skill (or custom Bot) and name it after the job (for example: cash flow forecasting).
  2. Load skill.md as the standing expertise and setup-prompt.txt as the setup instructions.
  3. Run the setup; the agent runs cash-flow-forecasting on fictional sample data first - approve that test before real work.
  4. For each real run, ask with usage-prompt.txt and this run's inputs. Skills keep the rules persistent between asks.
