1. Read the workflow and source
Open the complete free skill and authored Markdown download, its inputs and review gates. Read Claude 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 buyer: down payment 18000 plus closing costs 7500 plus reserves 9000 equals 34500 required cash. Available cash is 32000. Report a 2500 planning gap, not a loan rejection.
4. Use a narrow request
Use the attached First Home Cost Planning Note as reference. Work only on the fictional inputs in the acceptance test. Return Cost | timing | supplied estimate | source date | missing fact | reviewer. Show arithmetic and unknowns. Do not invent local taxes, mortgage rates or lender requirements. Confirm the jurisdiction and estimate date with the lender. Do not send, spend, change records or contact anyone.
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.
Where this guide stops
No sending, sharing, ledger/CRM changes, account sign-in or spending is authorized by this guide. A separate request and the required approval govern real actions. Keep an evidence copy of the input version and reviewed output.
