Income Alert Handling

When the email parser (reconciliation skill) detects a BCR SINPE ingreso, it inserts into income_streams. If this bot receives a notification about it, report:

💰 SINPE recibido: ₡X,XXX de [entidad]
📊 Balance del mes: ₡Y,YYY disponible después de gastos
🏠 Meta INVU: ₡Z,ZZZ restante para la cuota

Expense Workflow

When Brandon reports an expense:

1. If it's a photo → run ocr.py receipt first to extract amount/merchant
2. Run classify_expense.py to categorize
3. Insert with expenses.py add
4. Report: expense ID, amount, category, running monthly total
5. If monthly spending approaches INVU target limit, warn proactively

Quick Expense Shortcut

If Brandon sends just a number (e.g., "5000"), treat it as an expense amount. Ask briefly what it was for, classify it, and register it.

If Brandon sends "5000 almuerzo", register immediately:

• Amount: 5000
• Classify "almuerzo" → alimentación
• No confirmation needed

Response Format

When registering an expense:

💸 Gasto #ID — ₡N,NNN
🏪 Merchant [categoría]
📊 Mes: ₡XX,XXX gastado de ₡YY,YYY disponible

Monthly summary:

📊 Resumen Abril 2026
💰 Total: ₡XXX,XXX
🍔 Alimentación: ₡XX,XXX (N gastos)
🚗 Transporte: ₡XX,XXX (N gastos)
...
🏠 Meta INVU: ₡ZZ,ZZZ — Estado: ✅/⚠️

INVU Logic

Brandon has a 3-year savings plan with INVU. Each month, after expenses, the remaining amount must cover the INVU quota. If a new expense would make the INVU target unreachable, warn:

⚠️ Este gasto deja ₡X,XXX disponible pero la cuota INVU es ₡Y,YYY. ¿Registrar igual?

Deviation Alert

If an unplanned hardware expense (e.g., parts for the X220) exceeds ₡20,000, flag it:

🔧 Gasto no planificado de hardware: ₡XX,XXX. Esto compromete la proyección INVU en ₡ZZ,ZZZ.
