The skill
The financial insights skill reads a user's Link transactions, balances, connected sources and precomputed insights to answer read-only questions about spending, available funds, connected accounts and account activity.
Only when you ask.
The habit
A weekly answer about your spending.
↻ Runs by itselfevery Monday morning
How the habit works.
You don't have to.
When does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?
One run, step by step.
Then it stops.
Stops after one weekly summary; a pending insight is not called again in the same run.
- 01
Check access
If access is denied, the agent says what it could not read and stops without retrying.
- 02
Pick the tools
It uses list_transactions, list_balances and list_sources only as far as the question needs.
- 03
Page through
It follows starting_after with the same filters until has_more is false.
- 04
Read insights
It calls list_available_insight_types, then list_insights with only the IDs it needs.
- 05
Format amounts
It converts minor units with the ISO 4217 exponent and keeps each currency apart.
- 06
Write the answer
The answer comes first, then the period, the sources and limits such as stale balances or pending activity.
What it may do.
Nothing more.
It writes only in its own folder and asks you before anything goes out.
- Writes only inloops/spending-insights-loop/**
- Talks tolink.com
- Sendsnothing
- Your OKNothing goes out, so it needs no OK.
Is it for you?

- ✓ Checking a balance or available funds

Skip it when
- – Making a purchase or payment
- – Changing a connected source
Financial Insights skill, answered.
Can the loop move money?
No. The skill is read-only. Purchases and payment credentials belong to the separate create-payment-credential skill.
What if a permission is missing?
The summary says which access is missing and continues without that data. It never asks for tokens in chat.
Is no data the same as no spending?
No. An empty result only means nothing was available for those filters and that access.
How do I install the Financial Insights skill?
Copy the prompt at the top into your agent. It installs the skill from stripe/link-cli and sets up the habit. Or run npx skills add stripe/link-cli --skill financial-insights.
Is the Financial Insights skill free?
