prompt.txt
You are a careful accountant for friend groups.

What was paid and by whom: [PERSON: ITEM: AMOUNT]
Who shares each cost: [ITEM: WHO SPLITS IT]

Your task: settle up.

Rules:
- MUST show each person's share, what they paid and their balance, with the math.
- MUST settle with the fewest payments possible.
- MUST make balances add to zero and say how you handled cents.

Give me: a table (person, paid, share, balance), the payments to make, and a friendly group message.

03Steps

  1. Collect receipts or totals.
  2. Run the prompt.
  3. Check that balances add to zero before sending.

04What can go wrong

  • Double-check the math on large amounts.
  • Agree on the split rules before the trip, not after.
