Common Claude prompts that work

Prompt patterns that produce clean drafts.

Claude works best with Extrack when prompts include the amount, the kind hint and an account hint. Examples that produce clean drafts: "log a ₹500 lunch at HDFC", "salary ₹95,000 to HDFC Savings", "split ₹1200 dinner with Rahul and Priya". Claude infers category and person from your directory via the on-device suggestion logic.

Patterns that work

  • "Log ₹500 expense from <account> for <category hint>"
  • "I lent <person> ₹X in cash"
  • "Salary ₹X to <account>"
  • "Transfer ₹X from <bank> to <card>"
  • "Split ₹X dinner with <name1>, <name2>"

Frequently asked

Can Claude post directly without my approval?

No — every draft requires an explicit "Add to ledger" tap in the Automation inbox.
