Extract the complete activity history of any Numeric close period into a five-tab Excel workbook ready to hand to auditors. No more screenshotting the activity panel on every task.
Before You Begin
- Numeric MCP connected.
- Numeric Toolkit installed.
- At least one closed (or in-progress) close period to pull from.
This skill works on open or closed periods — the title row of the workbook notes which, so auditors know if the close is still in progress.
How It Works
- Ask Claude for audit evidence. Example prompts:
- "Pull audit evidence for December close."
- "SOX evidence package for Q4."
- "Reconciliation sign-off history for March."
- Claude asks which workspace and period (if not already specified).
- Claude pulls every task across all four types — reconciliations, checklist, flux, journal entries - querying each type separately.
- Claude pulls activity events and review notes/comments for every task, batching the calls in parallel.
- Claude produces a formatted Excel workbook with five sheets.
What You Get
A single .xlsx file, <Workspace>_<Period>_Audit_Evidence.xlsx, with five sheets:
| Sheet |
Content |
1. Reconciliation Tasks |
Account × preparer × reviewer × statuses × due dates |
2. Checklist Tasks |
Custom + journal-entry tasks combined |
3. Activity Log |
Every event in chronological order — the core evidence sheet |
4. Review Notes & Comments |
Open notes highlighted yellow, resolved green, general comments plain |
5. Summary |
Status counts, event breakdown, activity by user |
Troubleshooting
| Issue |
What to Check |
Comments are missing on some tasks |
Numeric stores comments on the entity-1 variant of each key. The skill handles this automatically — if you still see gaps, re-run and confirm the entity-1 key conversion. |
Workbook has fewer tasks than expected |
Some workspaces return 0 on unfiltered list_tasks. The skill falls back to per-type queries — check the run log to confirm fallback ran. |
Comment body has raw HTML tags |
The skill strips HTML to plain text. If you see or
, re-run — parsing likely failed silently on one batch. |
Tasks with no events are missing |
Expected. Tasks without events appear in the Reconciliation Tasks and Checklist Tasks sheets; the Activity Log only includes tasks with at least one event. |
FAQ
- Can I run this before the close is done? Yes — works on open periods. The workbook labels the period status for auditors.
- Does it include deleted tasks? No. Only live tasks in the selected period.
- Can I filter to one task type? Yes — say "just recs" or "only flux" when you trigger the skill.
