1. Read the workflow and source
Open the complete free skill and authored Markdown download, its inputs and review gates. Read ChatGPT project documentation for current file, plan and privacy limits. Account access is not tested here.
2. Start with approved reference files
Create a separate conversation or project for this one job. Upload the public Markdown as reference if your account supports files. This is not a plugin installation. Do not mix clients or place credentials and private records into a reusable setup instruction.
3. Run the fictional acceptance test
Fictional period shows gross 2,50,000, deductions 38,500, net 2,11,500 and employer tax 21,300. The draft journal posts net pay as 2,15,100. Expected result: flag the 3,600 net pay difference; other lines match.
4. Use a narrow request
Use the attached Payroll Journal Crossfoot Check as reference. Check only these fictional journal lines against the fictional report totals. Return line, report value, journal value, difference and verdict. Do not post or edit anything.
5. Review before real data
Check each source row, unchanged original value, missing fact and arithmetic. A successful fictional result is a readiness check, not proof of real-account compatibility. Only then use authorized minimum-necessary real exports, confirm retention/access and ask the responsible owner to review the result.
