Claude Code Skills

lim can register all its command groups as Claude Code skills, making every lim capability available through natural conversation in your terminal.

​
Installation

npx @lim-labs/lim skills add
This registers lim’s 29 command groups as Claude Code skills in your project’s .claude/skills/ directory. After installation, restart Claude Code to pick up the new skills.

​
What Gets Registered

Every lim command group becomes a skill that Claude can invoke:

​
Usage Examples

Once skills are registered, Claude Code can use them naturally in conversation:

​
Daily Bookkeeping

You: Record today's expenses: AWS ¥11,000 credit card, lunch meeting
     with client ¥5,500 cash, and taxi to office ¥2,200 Suica.

Claude: I'll record all three expenses.

        $ lim add "AWS 11000 yen credit card"
        ✅ Communication 10,000 / Accounts payable 11,000 + Input VAT 1,000

        $ lim add "lunch meeting with client 5500 yen cash"
        ✅ Entertainment 5,000 / Cash 5,500 + Input VAT 500

        $ lim add "taxi to office 2200 yen Suica"
        ✅ Travel 2,000 / Cash 2,200 + Input VAT 200

        All three entries recorded. Today's total: ¥18,700.

​
Financial Review

You: How did we do in Q1?

Claude: $ lim reports pl --from 2026-01-01 --to 2026-03-31
        $ lim reports bs --as-of 2026-03-31
        $ lim reports cs --from 2026-01-01 --to 2026-03-31

        Q1 Summary:
        - Revenue: ¥3,300,000
        - Net income: ¥2,590,000 (78% margin)
        - Cash position: ¥2,450,000
        - Operating cash flow: ¥2,260,000

        Strong quarter. Revenue up 15% vs Q4 2025.

​
Month-End Close

You: Let's do the March close.

Claude: I'll check everything step by step.

        $ lim journals list --from 2026-03-01 --to 2026-03-31 --status draft
        3 draft entries found. Let me review them...

        $ lim bank list --unmatched
        2 unmatched bank transactions. Processing...

        $ lim reports tb --from 2026-03-01 --to 2026-03-31
        Trial balance checks out. Debits = Credits ✓

        $ lim accruals generate --period 2026-03
        Generated 2 accrual entries for March.

        Everything looks clean. Ready to close?

You: Yes, close it.

Claude: $ lim periods close --period 2026-03
        ✅ March 2026 closed.

​
Scenario Analysis

You: What happens to our runway if we hire two more engineers?

Claude: $ lim scenarios create --name "Hire 2 engineers" \
          --description "Two senior engineers at ¥700k/month each"

        $ lim scenarios generate --id <scenario-id>

        $ lim scenarios diff --id <scenario-id>

        Impact analysis:
        - Additional monthly cost: ¥1,820,000
          (salary ¥1,400,000 + social insurance ¥210,000 + equipment ¥210,000 amortized)
        - Current runway: 3.5 months
        - Post-hire runway: 1.8 months

        You'd need to close a funding round within 2 months.

​
Skills vs MCP

Both skills and MCP let AI agents interact with lim. Here’s when to use each:
SkillsMCP
Best forClaude Code terminal sessionsAny MCP-compatible client
InterfaceCLI commandsStructured tool calls + resources
AuthenticationCLI tokenCLI token or API key
OutputHuman-readable terminal outputStructured JSON
Setupnpx @lim-labs/lim skills addnpx @lim-labs/lim mcp add
You can use both simultaneously. Skills are great for interactive sessions where you want human-readable output. MCP is better for automated workflows where structured data matters.

​
Updating Skills

When lim is updated with new commands, re-run the installation: 
npx @lim-labs/lim skills add --force
This overwrites existing skill definitions with the latest versions.

​
Removing Skills

npx @lim-labs/lim skills remove
This removes all lim skills from your Claude Code configuration.
