QBO Inventory Reconciliation
Takes a physical inventory count you paste or upload and checks it against QuickBooks Online's own inventory asset records for the same period. You get a variance report by item, not just one aggregate number, so shrinkage and damage show up before close instead of turning into an unexplained variance later. If your business doesn't track inventory in QuickBooks at all, it says so plainly and skips the check instead of reporting a false variance. It only reads your QuickBooks data — it never changes anything — and you should run it with the connection's write tools turned off.
What it does
Check your physical inventory count against QuickBooks. This skill compares a counted list against your QuickBooks inventory records and shows exactly which items are off, item by item.
How to use this

What this skill does
This is an overview of the skill from the site, not the skill's real instructions. The full SKILL.md Claude reads when this skill is active lives on GitHub at the source below.
Check what you counted against what QuickBooks thinks is on the shelf. This skill takes a physical inventory count you paste or upload, pulls QuickBooks Online’s own inventory asset records for the same period, and shows you exactly which items are off — item by item, not just one number.
If your business doesn’t track inventory in QuickBooks at all, it says so plainly and skips the check instead of reporting a false variance. It never writes anything back to QuickBooks — run it with the connection’s write tools turned off.
