Receipt Snap Skill

Process receipts for tax reporting. Handles receipt capture, currency conversion, Drive storage, and logging to Google Sheets.

Setup

1. Install gog CLI

brew install faradayhq/gog/gog
gog auth login

2. Set environment variables

Variable	Required	Description
RECEIPT_DRIVE_FOLDER_ID	Yes	Google Drive folder ID for uploads
RECEIPT_GOOGLE_SHEET_ID	Yes	Google Sheet ID for log rows
RECEIPT_LOG_FILE	No	Local CSV backup path (default: ~/receipts/log.csv)

3. Google Drive & Sheets setup

Drive: Create a folder, share it with the Google account authenticated in gog, copy the folder ID from the URL.

Sheets: Create a sheet with a tab named log, add headers in row 1: Date | Vendor | Description | Original Amount | Currency | EUR Amount | Exchange Rate | Category | Drive Link | Notes. Copy the Sheet ID from the URL.

Model Usage

Use local model (free) for simple receipts. Escalate to MiniMax for ambiguous receipts (handwritten, poor lighting).

Workflow

1. Receive Receipt

User sends receipt via Telegram with #recibo tag. Accepts:

• PDF invoices
• Photo screenshots of receipts
• Text descriptions (#recibo Description: ...)

2. Extract Data

Extract from receipt:

• Vendor (company name)
• Date (invoice date)
• Amount (total including VAT)
• Currency (EUR, USD, etc.)
• Description (what was purchased)

3. Check for Duplicates

Before processing, check if this receipt already exists:

gog sheets get "$RECEIPT_GOOGLE_SHEET_ID" "log!A:J" --json

Search for matching vendor + date + amount. If duplicate found → warn user and ask before proceeding.

4. Currency Conversion

If non-EUR:

• Fetch rate from https://open.er-api.com/v6/latest/{currency}
• Convert to EUR
• Log both original and EUR amounts

5. Categorize

Spanish tax categories:

• Software y suscripciones — SaaS, API credits, subscriptions
• Telecomunicaciones — phone, voicemail
• Combustibles — fuel, gas
• Viajes y desplazamientos — travel, mileage
• Manutención y restauración — meals (business)
• Material informáticos — hardware
• Formación — courses, education
• Otros gastos — other

6. Upload to Google Drive

gog drive upload <file> --parent "$RECEIPT_DRIVE_FOLDER_ID"
gog drive rename <file-id> "VendorName_2026-01-15_42.50EUR.pdf"

7. Log to Google Sheet

gog sheets append "$RECEIPT_GOOGLE_SHEET_ID" "log!A:J" \
  --values-json '[["2026-01-15","Vendor Name","Description","42.50","EUR","42.50","1.0","Software y suscripciones","https://drive.google.com/...","Notes"]]' \
  --insert INSERT_ROWS

8. Quarterly Report

At quarter-end:

• Generate category summary: python3 receipt_snap.py summary
• Zip receipt images from Drive
• Send summary + ZIP to your tax accountant

Commands

Process receipt

python3 receipt_snap.py process receipt.pdf \
  --vendor "Vendor Name" \
  --date 2026-01-15 \
  --amount 42.50 \
  --currency EUR \
  --category "Software y suscripciones"

Sheet Setup

Create a Google Sheet with a tab named log. Add this header row (A through J):

| Date | Vendor | Description | Original Amount | Currency | EUR Amount | Exchange Rate | Category | Drive Link | Notes |

Security

• Add receipts/ and *.csv to .gitignore — contains real financial data
• Never hardcode IDs in source files — use environment variables
• gog manages OAuth tokens locally — verify your Google account is secure
• Files uploaded to Drive and rows appended to Sheets leave copies on Google services
