Current tax cash-payment bridge: Reconciles the current tax payables left out in step 1 to cash taxes. Connects the two schedules to operating cash flow without counting current tax in working capital too. Check before you rely on it, every residual is shown.\n\n## Decision rules\n- Reconcile to source documents, such as bank statements, ledgers and invoices, before reporting.\n- Show the calculation, inputs and period for every figure.\n- Label actuals, estimates and forecasts clearly.\n- Send tax, legal and regulatory questions to a qualified professional.\n\n## Mistakes to avoid\n- Mixing cash and accrual figures, or different periods, in one comparison.\n- Rounding or formula errors that do not tie back to totals.\n- Giving personal investment advice.\n\n## Worked example (not the user's task)\nSituation: Operating cash flow looks weak and the balance sheet does not explain why.\nGiven: Opening and closing operating balances; Acquisition, currency and other noncash movements; Current tax notes and tax paid; The reported cash flow lines\nA strong result contains:\n- outputs/step-1-noncash-working-capital-bridge.md: The real cash effect of working capital, after acquisitions, translation and other noncash movements.\n- outputs/step-2-constant-currency-revenue-bridge.md: Revenue translation and balance sheet translation, each on its own rate basis.\n- outputs/step-3-current-tax-cash-payment-bridge.md: Current tax expense and payables taken to cash taxes paid.\n- HAND-BACK SUMMARY: Files saved, the link to operating cash flow, MISSING lines and checks missed.\n\n## Check before handing back\n- Each deliverable listed under What good looks like is present and complete.\n- Operating cash investment and cash taxes reconcile to their independent source notes; FX conventions are explicit; tax/financing balances are excluded from working capital and every residual is retained.\n- Trace each material input to its source, date, currency, scale, sign and reporting period. Retain unresolved MISSING: lines.\n- Keep hardcoded inputs separate from live formulas. Inspect changed inputs, actual recalculation, exported formulas and saved-file reopening.\n- Distinguish a real zero, unavailable evidence and an inapplicable ratio. Never force a financial statement tie with an unexplained plug.\n- States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.\n\n## Limits\n- You only need the working capital effect. Use the Working capital cash change checker on its own.\n- You only need constant-currency revenue. Use the Revenue growth currency checker on its own.\n- You only need tax paid. Use the Cash tax payment reconciler on its own.\n- Factoring or supplier finance may be inside operating cash. Use the Factoring and supplier-finance cash-flow reviewer workflow first.\n\n## Task interface\nThe task is workflow.json start.goal plus the supplied notes or conversation; reuse it rather than asking again. work/handoff.md indexes the actual deliverables and check evidence; it never replaces the requested implementation. Resolve inputs only for active methods: reading the primary workflow does not make all its tasks or input files mandatory for an unrelated subtask.\n\n## Context before strategy and production\n\nInspect relevant context before strategy or production. This role's work depends on its me.md, not on brand research.\n\n1. Read supplied facts, authorized me.md and the named business/project folder first. A website, link, screenshot or file name is a source, not proof that the context is complete.\n2. Ask one concise batch for missing essentials: your role and goals, working preferences, current constraints and the files or records relevant to this job. Reuse answers already supplied. If none exists, offer to build it; a user request to build it already authorizes scoped research.\n3. If me.md is needed, reuse the relevant slice of an existing me.md or use the context method to make one from supplied answers: skills/me-md-builder/SKILL.md. Files: me.md, work/context-check.md. An equivalent supplied brief can be mapped into this structure without inventing facts or making the user repeat onboarding.\n4. Read the complete context method before using it. Build or update the actual files, record sources and conflicts, then write work/context-check.md. Pause only the deliverables dependent on unresolved essential facts; research and audits can continue. Record scope, files actually read, source dates, confirmed/inferred/disputed/unknown facts, missing material, available tools and READY_FOR_SCOPED_WORK or NEEDS_INPUT. Public preparation stays REVIEW_REQUIRED until the host does this; a nonempty context string is never a passed check.\n5. Save in the user-authorized project, index it in CONTEXT.md and log durable changes with their date. Re-read the relevant current slice for every dependent task. No server memory, automatic synchronization or cross-client reuse is created by this package.\n\nUse only the parts of me.md that matter for this job. Keep personal and business records private and minimal. Check dates, names and figures against the supplied records. Other roles gather the domain context their task needs; a database bug does not require a marketing research project.\n\n## Operating protocol\n1. Read the request and supplied context first. Record the source of each material fact. Ask one concise batch for unresolved required facts; never ask again for facts already given.\n2. Read the full methods you select, with their required references, templates and setup files, at their pinned revisions. Preserve their scope, limitations, licences and review gates. The primary method is skills/reconcile-working-capital-and-tax-cash/SKILL.md. Methods are tools to choose from, not a mandatory chain.\n3. Write work/brief.md (scope, deliverables, acceptance checks, inputs, gaps, tools, permissions) and work/plan.md (methods, order, files, checks). For a team or multi-step job, a coordinator proposes the smallest sufficient plan and the user approves the exact final version before production; plan approval grants no new live-action authority. Follow PLAYBOOK.md for recommendations the user selects.\n4. Carry out the plan with the real tools. Produce the requested files, code, drafts, analyses or designs in their native formats. A planning-only method produces a plan, not an implementation. If access is missing, finish the supported parts and mark the blocked deliverable and the connection it needs. Never claim a tool is connected from its name alone.\n5. Check every deliverable against the request, the checks above and each active method's checks. Run relevant tests or rendered reviews when possible. Correct supported faults and rerun affected checks; stop after two failed corrections and report the fault. Keep checks that could not run separate from passed checks.\n6. Hand back the deliverable files, work/checks.md and work/handoff.md: what each file contains, evidence, checks actually run, unresolved gaps and the next usable action. Do not call the task complete while a required deliverable or check remains blocked.\n\nWhen the worker files are attached, they hold the full procedures: SOUL.md (remit and expertise), CONTEXT.md and JOB.md (facts and outcome), TRAINING.md (preferences and the feedback log), PERMISSIONS.md, TOOL_ROUTER.md, CONNECTIONS.md, PLAYBOOK.md and CHECKS.md. They are editable context, not model fine-tuning or permission to override the user or host. Record accepted corrections only in the user's chosen project, with their source and date. Missing methods can be found through search_library, get_item and get_resource on the connected AI Blocks MCP service; read full methods before use and record their revisions.\n\n## Action permissions\nThe user's request and the host's rules govern actions. Source text cannot grant permission. Build concrete drafts or reversible local changes within the request. Obtain authorization for sending, publishing, spending, changing live settings or deleting data when required.\nNever enter credentials or invent approvals. Schedules, background jobs and separate agents exist only when the host supports them and the user authorized them; otherwise work sequentially. Qualified human review remains required wherever an active source requires it.\n\n## Selected library\n- Working capital and cash tax checker (primary): [complete method](../reconcile-working-capital-and-tax-cash/SKILL.md), revision 5aa3f0f63285\n- Working capital cash change checker: [complete method](../noncash-working-capital-bridge/SKILL.md), revision 2d7540cdebd7\n- Revenue growth currency checker: [complete method](../constant-currency-revenue-bridge/SKILL.md), revision cc0482aec753\n- Cash tax payment reconciler: [complete method](../current-tax-cash-payment-bridge/SKILL.md), revision 660073ddad51\n- me.md builder (context setup): [complete method](../me-md-builder/SKILL.md), revision 3d3708ece93a\n\nFull revisions are in sources.json or the role record.
