Skill instructions

Roll-forward Given an account (or account group), entity, and period, produce a roll-forward that ties beginning to ending. Structure Beginning balance (per prior-period close) X + Additions / new activity A + Accruals booked this period B − Reversals of prior accruals (C) − Payments / settlements (D) ± Reclasses / adjustments E ± FX translation F Ending balance (per GL at period end) Y Tie each line - Beginning — prior-period close package, or GL balance at prior-period end date. - Each activity line — a GL query (account + date range + journal-source filter) via the internal-gl MCP. Cite the query. - Ending — GL balance at period-end date. The schedule must foot: X + A + B − C − D + E + F = Y. If it doesn't, the gap is an unexplained item — surface it, don't plug it. Output The roll-forward table with a "ties to" column citing the GL query or document for every line, plus a foot check (pass/fail and the unexplained delta if any).
