financial-insights: a Claude Code skill by Stripe

Official

For Link users who want to ask Claude about their spending, balances and connected accounts. Skip it if you don't use Link or would rather not share bank data with an agent.

Before you install: A new login requests all four financial data permissions by default unless you ask for less, so narrow it if you only need one kind of data.

What does financial-insights do?

financial-insights is a skill that lets Claude read your Stripe Link wallet data through link-cli and answer money questions. It checks link-cli auth status first, and a new login asks you to approve access through a verification URL. It then runs only the command the question needs: transactions list for spending, balances list for funds, sources list for connected accounts, or insights list for precomputed shopping patterns. Results come back as JSON with amounts in the currency's smallest unit, and it pages only as far as needed. All commands are read-only, and it is told never to show tokens or full account details.

When should you use financial-insights?

Use it when

  • You want to know what you spent on restaurants last month
  • You want your current balance across linked accounts
  • You want to see which banks and cards are connected

Skip it when

  • You don't have a Link account
  • You don't want an agent reading bank transactions

What it needs and what it can touch

You need

  • A Link account with connected financial sources
  • link-cli (npm install -g @stripe/link-cli)

What it can do

  • Runs shell commands (link-cli)
  • Reads transactions, balances and account details from Link
  • Can install link-cli globally with npm

From reading its instructions, not from running it.

How the formula works

Is financial-insights safe to install?

Every scanner that checked it passed it. Scanners often miss what other scanners catch, and a skill can change after a scan. Read its source before you install it.
