Setup guide

Transaction Categorization Agent for OpenClaw - transaction categorization with evidence attached

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

What the Transaction Categorization Agent does

With OpenClaw, this agent meets you in the chat app you already live in. It proposes a category for every uncoded transaction with the evidence: date, payee, amount, proposed category, evidence, review status. You approve the batch.

Categorization errors compound into wrong reports. This assistant applies your category rules consistently, records the evidence per transaction, and lists only the genuinely ambiguous ones as questions. You review the edge cases instead of the whole pile, and the same vendor codes the same way every month.

Where the Included files go in OpenClaw

Drop the Included files into your OpenClaw workspace and point it at skill.md, then run the setup prompt over your usual chat channel. OpenClaw keeps its workspace persistent, so the agent's rules survive between asks, and its approval style matches the agents' stop-at-human-gates design.

What a run looks like on OpenClaw

A run looks like this: you message OpenClaw on your usual channel with this run's inputs, and it works through transaction-categorization from the workspace skill. The output - it proposes a category for every uncoded transaction with the evidence: date, payee, amount, proposed category, evidence, review status - comes back in chat for your approval.

Setup, step by step

  1. Drop skill.md, setup-prompt.txt and usage-prompt.txt into your OpenClaw workspace and point it at the skill file.
  2. Run the setup prompt over your usual chat channel (WhatsApp, iMessage, Slack, Telegram, Discord).
  3. The agent runs transaction-categorization on fictional sample data first - approve that test before real work.
  4. OpenClaw keeps its workspace persistent and its approval style matches the agent's stop-at-human-gates design: each real run is one message with this run's inputs.
