Bank Reconciliation Skill
Reconcile bank statement rows against GL rows and produce an .xlsx workbook that is immediately reviewable by an accountant.
Workflow
- Identify the bank statement path and GL workbook path.
- Accept either a bank statement
.xlsx file or a bank statement .pdf file.
- If the bank statement is a PDF, run the workflow so it first extracts the bank statement lines into a structured workbook, then reconciles that extracted workbook to the GL.
- Confirm the reconciliation threshold. Default to
0.00 unless the user asks for a tolerance.
- Run
scripts/recon_logic.py with the bank file, GL file, output file, and threshold.
- Return the generated workbook and summarize:
- matched bank row count
- matched GL row count
- unreconciled bank row count
- unreconciled GL row count
- If the user asks for follow-up analysis, use the
Summary, Unreconciled Bank, and Unreconciled GL tabs first.
Output Workbook
The generated workbook should contain these tabs:
Summary: threshold, matched counts, unreconciled counts, and basic totalsRecon Results: matched groupings with match basis and variance notesUnreconciled Bank: bank rows not matched to the GLUnreconciled GL: GL rows not matched to the bank
Command
python3 scripts/recon_logic.py <bank_xlsx_or_pdf> <gl_xlsx> <output_xlsx> [threshold]
When the bank input is a PDF, the script also creates a companion extracted workbook beside the PDF (same basename with _extracted.xlsx) before running reconciliation.
Matching Logic
Use a layered approach:
- Preserve the original signs from both source files in the output.
- Compare bank and GL amounts using absolute values for matching so bank polarity and accounting debit/credit polarity can reconcile without rewriting displayed source amounts.
- Match by shared extracted keys such as batch IDs, invoice IDs, vendor IDs, customer IDs, and tax/payment references.
- Allow one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, and grouped many-to-many matches when totals fall within threshold.
- For remaining items, use semantic name grouping plus summed-amount comparison.
- Preserve unmatched rows in dedicated tabs instead of dropping them from the deliverable.
Notes
- Read the first worksheet from each input workbook.
- Expect simple three-column inputs: date, amount, description/memo.
- For text-based bank statement PDFs, the script extracts transaction rows by reading the PDF content streams and reconstructing the transaction table into a workbook.
- The PDF path is best for digital statements with selectable text; scanned-image PDFs would still need OCR or a multimodal extraction path.
- Keep the workbook generation dependency-light so it can run in minimal Python environments.
1---2name: bank-recon-23description: Perform bank reconciliation between bank statements and general ledger files. Supports bank statement PDF ingestion, conversion of PDF statements into structured Excel data, custom amount thresholds, ID/key matching, and semantic description matching. Use when the user wants to read a bank statement PDF or Excel file, convert statement activity into a workbook, reconcile bank activity to GL transactions, identify matched and unmatched items, and generate an Excel workbook with reconciliation results, a summary tab, and separate unreconciled-bank and unreconciled-GL tabs.4---5

14## Workflow
15
161. Identify the bank statement path and GL workbook path.
172. Accept either a bank statement `.xlsx` file or a bank statement `.pdf` file.
183. If the bank statement is a PDF, run the workflow so it first extracts the bank statement lines into a structured workbook, then reconciles that extracted workbook to the GL.
194. Confirm the reconciliation threshold. Default to `0.00` unless the user asks for a tolerance.
205. Run `scripts/recon_logic.py` with the bank file, GL file, output file, and threshold.
216. Return the generated workbook and summarize:
22 - matched bank row count
23 - matched GL row count
24 - unreconciled bank row count
25 - unreconciled GL row count
265. If the user asks for follow-up analysis, use the `Summary`, `Unreconciled Bank`, and `Unreconciled GL` tabs first.

33- `Recon Results`: matched groupings with match basis and variance notes
34- `Unreconciled Bank`: bank rows not matched to the GL
35- `Unreconciled GL`: GL rows not matched to the bank
