What file formats does this skill support?

The skill supports PDF files as well as common image formats like PNG and JPG. For PDFs, it first attempts text extraction before falling back to OCR.

How does the skill ensure financial data accuracy?

It uses a dual-validation method where two independent AI sub-agents process the same image. If their results differ, the system prompts the user to select the correct value.

Can it process Japanese era dates like Reiwa or Heisei?

Yes, the skill automatically converts Japanese era dates into standardized YYYY-MM-DD Western format for better database compatibility.

Does it handle multiple files at once?

Yes, you can provide multiple file paths or glob patterns, and the skill will process each one sequentially and provide a consolidated report.

Extracts structured financial data from Japanese payment statement (Shiharai Chosho) images and PDFs using high-precision dual-validation.

The reading-payment-statement skill is designed to automate the digitization of Japanese 'Shiharai Chosho' (payment statements) for tax filing and accounting. It leverages Claude's vision capabilities to identify critical fields such as payer names, gross amounts, and withholding taxes from images or PDFs. To ensure the highest level of financial accuracy, the skill employs a dual-validation workflow—running two independent extraction processes and comparing them—to catch discrepancies. It also handles Japanese era date conversion and handles bulk file processing, making it an essential component for any automated tax return (Kakutei Shinkoku) workflow.
