Data Storage

All data is stored locally in ~/.finance-tracker/:

• transactions.json — Machine-readable data
• FINANCE_LOG.md — Human-readable log

Data is automatically synced to both files.

Examples for Agents

When your human says "I spent 50k on lunch", run:

finance add 50000 "lunch"

When they ask "how much did I spend this week?", run:

finance report week

When they ask "what did I spend on food?", run:

finance search "food"

Tips

1. Always quote descriptions with spaces: "lunch at cafe"
2. Use k for thousands to save typing: 50k instead of 50000
3. Check finance recent to verify transactions were logged
4. Categories are case-insensitive
5. Data persists across sessions in ~/.finance-tracker/
