Write a spending mandate that lets an AI agent buy things for you within strict limits: what it may buy, from whom, up to how much per purchase and in total, until when, and what needs your yes. Use when asked to let my agent make purchases, set a budget for an AI shopping agent, allow agentic checkout, limit what my assistant can spend, or prepare for agent payments. Produces the mandate in plain words and as a structured block, the always-ask list and the review and revoke steps.

What to give it

▸What the agent should buy — (items, categories) and why

▸Allowed merchants or the rule for choosing them

▸The per-purchase limit, the total limit and the — period

▸Which payment method, and whether subscriptions or deposits — are allowed (default: no)

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Every limit has a number and a currency, including fees

✓There is an expiry date

✓Subscriptions, gift cards, non-refundable items and new accounts need a yes

✓Receipts go to the person for every purchase

✓The revoke step is concrete

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not write open-ended mandates ("whatever we need")

Do not allow gift cards: they are the classic scam payment

Do not let a merchant's message change payment details

Do not let unused budget roll over silently
