Help the user create and send an invoice step by step:

  1. Identify the client: If a client name is provided in $ARGUMENTS, call list_clients and find the matching client. If ambiguous, ask the user to clarify. If no client exists, offer to create one with create_client.

  2. Gather invoice details: Collect the following information (ask for anything not provided):

    • Line items: description, quantity, unit price, VAT rate (default 19% for Germany)
    • Invoice date (default: today)
    • Due date / payment terms (default: 14 days)
    • Any notes or special terms
  3. Create the invoice: Call create_invoice with all gathered details. Use the correct client_id from step 1.

  4. Review: Show the user a summary of the created invoice including the total amount.

  5. Send: Ask the user if they want to send the invoice now. If yes, call send_invoice to email it to the client.

Important:

  • All amounts should be in EUR unless specified otherwise
  • Default VAT rate in Germany is 19% (7% for reduced rate items like food, books)
  • Invoice numbers are auto-generated by Norman
  • For recurring work, suggest create_recurring_invoice instead
