The spend-export example demonstrates a skill that converts supplied audit receipts into CSV. Its tests use a mock client. They do not prove that a hosted audit stream or install flow is connected.

​
Inspect the example

In examples/build-a-skill-spend-export, read:
  • manifest.yml for the skill metadata.
  • policy-template.json for the suggested policy.
  • consent-flow.md for the requested access.
  • src/skill.ts for exportLastMonthSpend.
  • src/skill.test.ts for the mock-client tests.
Copy the example directory to start your own skill. Update its identity, permissions, consent copy and entry point to match what your implementation does.

​
Connect the data source

exportLastMonthSpend expects its client to return an array of events containing receipts. The MCP audit.stream contract returns a stream cursor instead. Implement an adapter that obtains authorized events and supplies the shape expected by the example; the example is not a direct drop-in client for that endpoint. The function parses receipt rows with parseSpendReceipt and returns CSV using exportCsv. It skips malformed receipts. Review skipped rows before using the output for accounting.

​
Run the tests

With product-repository dependencies installed, run from the repository root:
These tests exercise the example’s manifest and CSV behavior. Validate the real data source, grant scope and consent flow separately before publishing your skill.
