What the Spend Request Agent does

Instinct is built for standing work like this - set it once, then it runs on your word. 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 Instinct

Hand the The included files (skill.md, setup-prompt.txt, usage-prompt.txt) to Instinct in chat. It keeps the context across sessions, so the setup survives: run the setup prompt once, approve the fictional-data test, and the agent becomes a standing workflow you trigger with one line. This is the closest fit to how the agents are designed to run.

What a run looks like on Instinct

A run looks like this: you tell Instinct to run spend-approvals with this run's inputs, and it works through the saved skill. The output - it normalizes incoming spend requests and runs your policy and evidence checks: request, amount, policy check, evidence, approver and status - is prepared for your review, and Instinct asks before anything is sent, spent or committed.

Setup, step by step

  1. Hand skill.md, setup-prompt.txt and usage-prompt.txt to Instinct in chat and ask it to keep them for the job (for example: spend approvals).
  2. Run the setup prompt once; the agent runs spend-approvals on fictional sample data first - approve that test before real work.
  3. Instinct keeps the context across sessions, so the setup survives as a standing workflow.
  4. Trigger each real run with one line and this run's inputs; Instinct asks before it sends, spends or commits - the same gates the agent is designed around.
