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:
Skills MCP Best for Claude Code terminal sessions Any MCP-compatible client Interface CLI commands Structured tool calls + resources Authentication CLI token CLI token or API key Output Human-readable terminal output Structured JSON Setup npx @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.
