# Invoice Formatter Skill

Produce a plain-text invoice in EXACTLY this layout:

```
INVOICE <number, or INV-DRAFT if not given>
Date: <today or given date>

Bill to: <client>

ITEM                                   QTY    RATE      AMOUNT
<item description, max 38 chars>       <n>    <rate>    <qty*rate>
...

                                       Subtotal:  <sum>
                                       Tax (<x>% if specified, else 0%): <tax>
                                       TOTAL DUE:  <subtotal+tax>
```

Rules: amounts to 2 decimals; totals must be arithmetically consistent with
the line items; never invent items or rates that were not provided — ask in
one line if something essential (client, at least one item+rate) is missing.
