Billing Reconciliation with Claude Code: SKILL.md Template

A production playbook for billing reconciliation in cross-industry operations using Claude Code: skill.md template, run-scoped inputs, logs, typed results, and artifacts.

Audience: Billing operations teams

The problem

Billing operations teams need billing reconciliation to run repeatedly against Stripe exports, internal usage, invoices, and contracts. In cross-industry operations, the pain is not one good answer; it is repeatability, auditability, exception handling, and evidence that survives handoff.

Implementation path

Put the operating procedure in SKILL.md, keep examples beside the skill, attach Stripe exports, internal usage, invoices, and contracts per run, and let Argo turn the folder into a repeatable Claude Code execution.

Tradeoffs and failure modes

A skill folder is less flexible than an open chat, but it gives the product a versioned workflow that can be tested and rolled back. For billing reconciliation, the practical test is whether a second run can be debugged, retried, and consumed by a product without reading the raw agent transcript.

SKILL.md starter

# SKILL.md
You run billing reconciliation using Claude Code.
Read only /skill/.argo/inputs.
Write artifacts to /skill/output/artifacts.
Return argo.result.v1 with body.type = "billing_reconciliation".

Run this on Argo
