What it does
This prompt instructs the AI to act as a finance and budgeting expert who reviews an entity’s fixed and variable expense lists, classifies and analyzes spending to spot inefficiencies or overspending, and then produces a tailored cost-reduction report. The expected outcome is an actionable set of recommendations with practical implementation strategies, estimated savings, and a projected impact analysis that reduces costs while maintaining operational quality and employee well-being for the specified entity.

Models and options
This skill's modality is: text.
To discover which model values you can use (and which options keys/values are valid for each model), run:
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where modality is "text".
How to run
Step 1: Collect inputs
First, run betterprompt resources --models-only --json and filter to modality: "text" to discover valid models and available options:
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.
Then collect all inputs from the human:
- Required text inputs:
EntityFixed_costsVariable_costs
- Optional: model and options.
- Present the human with the default model
gpt-4.1-miniand its available options. Look upgpt-4.1-miniin thebetterprompt resourcesoutput (filtered to modality"text") and show itsavailableOptionsas:key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: .... Mark a value(default)if it matches these defaults:{}. - If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model
gpt-4.1-mini, options{}. Other models from the resources call are also available.
- Present the human with the default model
If any required text input is missing, ask the human for what's missing. Do not assume or fabricate values.
Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI
Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use data-driven-expense-analysis-for-maximum-efficiency).
Command form:
betterprompt generate data-driven-expense-analysis-for-maximum-efficiency \
[--input <key>=<value>] \
[--model <model>] \
[--options <options JSON>] \
[--json]
Notes:
- Pass each text input as a separate
--input <key>=<value>flag. - If the human does not mention a model, omit
--modeland BetterPrompt will use the default model:gpt-4.1-mini. - If the human does not mention options, omit
--optionsand BetterPrompt will use the default options:{}. - If the run times out, the response will include a
runIdyou can use to fetch the result later.
Example (using defaults shown above):
betterprompt generate data-driven-expense-analysis-for-maximum-efficiency \
--input Entity=<value> \
--input Fixed_costs=<value> \
--input Variable_costs=<value> \
--model gpt-4.1-mini \
--options '{}'
