What the Spend Request Agent does

Instinct is built for standing work like this - set it once, then it runs on your word. It normalizes incoming spend requests and runs your policy and evidence checks: request, amount, policy check, evidence, approver and status. Approvals become one review, not a reconstruction.

Spend requests arrive by email, chat and the occasional hallway ask. Policy checks happen in someone's head, and audit season reconstructs decisions nobody wrote down.

Where the three files go in Instinct

Hand the three files (skill.md, setup-prompt.txt, usage-prompt.txt) to Instinct in chat. It keeps the context across sessions, so the setup survives: run the setup prompt once, approve the fictional-data test, and the agent becomes a standing workflow you trigger with one line. This is the closest fit to how the agents are designed to run.

What a run looks like on Instinct

A run looks like this: you tell Instinct to run spend-approvals with this run's inputs, and it works through the saved skill. The output - it normalizes incoming spend requests and runs your policy and evidence checks: request, amount, policy check, evidence, approver and status - is prepared for your review, and Instinct asks before anything is sent, spent or committed.

Setup, step by step

  1. Hand skill.md, setup-prompt.txt and usage-prompt.txt to Instinct in chat and ask it to keep them for the job (for example: spend approvals).
  2. Run the setup prompt once; the agent runs spend-approvals on fictional sample data first - approve that test before real work.
  3. Instinct keeps the context across sessions, so the setup survives as a standing workflow.
  4. Trigger each real run with one line and this run's inputs; Instinct asks before it sends, spends or commits - the same gates the agent is designed around.

Honest limits on Instinct

Instinct is in early access and its capabilities are expanding; always approve the sample-data test before pointing the agent at real work.
