Do not mistake the interface for the product. Moxie's durable value is banking, compliance, trust, which a solo one-shot build cannot reproduce responsibly. The prompt therefore builds only the closest honest personal consolation tool.

Build verification: not recorded. How we judge buildability

What you give up

  • live bank feeds and payment rails
  • tax and accounting rule updates
  • audited security and recovery
  • multi-user controls and accountant workflows
  • bank, payment, tax, and reconciliation integrations

Why people still pay

Moxie: People pay because errors touch real money. Bank connections, reconciliation, tax changes, evidence, security, and support are the product.

Implementation plan

1

Phase 1, architecture and data

Use exactly this stack: Next.js 15 + TypeScript + SQLite. Model accounts, source transactions, ledger entries, reconciliations, and reports; keep stable source IDs and timestamps.

2

Phase 2, implement

For freelance operations, create a client record and capture the scope, amount, and version of one proposal.

3

Phase 3, implement

Record proposal acceptance before generating an invoice with integer minor-unit amounts.

4

Phase 4, review and output

Track payment status and export the signed-off proposal, invoice, and activity history.

5

Phase 5, recovery and acceptance

Verify this invariant with a saved fixture: A changed proposal must create a new version; a repeated payment event cannot mark the same invoice paid twice. State the practical limit: live bank feeds and payment rails.

the pro prompt
Build me a focused freelance operations workflow for the personal core of Moxie. Requirements:

- Use exactly this stack: Next.js 15 + TypeScript + SQLite. Model accounts, source transactions, ledger entries, reconciliations, and reports; keep stable source IDs and timestamps.
- Paid product context: CRM, proposals, contracts, projects, time, invoices, and client portals. Build only this DIY scope: Build a private freelance operations ledger that imports user-supplied CSV files, categorizes entries, reconciles balances, and exports reports.
- For freelance operations, create a client record and capture the scope, amount, and version of one proposal.
- Record proposal acceptance before generating an invoice with integer minor-unit amounts.
- Track payment status and export the signed-off proposal, invoice, and activity history.
- Use a local web page with input, progress, review, and export views. Required input or access: CSV exports from the user's own accounts.
- Acceptance: with one labelled sample, show the input, saved intermediate state, and exported result; verify this invariant: A changed proposal must create a new version; a repeated payment event cannot mark the same invoice paid twice.
- Out of scope: live bank feeds and payment rails; tax and accounting rule updates. Keep this a personal, inspectable workflow.
- Include a README with setup, a sample input, required keys or permissions, data location, and the supported scope.

Questions about Moxie

Can you build your own Moxie with AI?

A full replacement is not the recommended project. Do not mistake the interface for the product. Moxie's durable value is banking, compliance, trust, which a solo one-shot build cannot reproduce responsibly. The prompt therefore builds only the closest honest personal consolation tool.

What does the Moxie build prompt cover?

The prompt starts with this scope: Build a private freelance operations ledger that imports user-supplied CSV files, categorizes entries, reconciles balances, and exports reports. Full-product capabilities excluded from the comparison include: live bank feeds and payment rails; tax and accounting rule updates; audited security and recovery. Follow the implementation plan and its prerequisites before expanding the build.

How do I use the prompt, AGENTS.md and agent skills?

Start with the Moxie prerequisites and stack, then copy the prompt into your coding agent. Save the project rules as AGENTS.md in the project root. Linked skills are optional packages or source instructions for specific tasks; review their current contents and install only those matching the chosen stack. A skill does not supply API credentials or verify the finished app.

How long will this Moxie project take?

The catalogue estimate is not a true replacement; consolation build in one to two days for the limited scope. Setup, integration approvals, debugging, deployment and ongoing maintenance can add time. This is an estimate, not a delivery guarantee.

What would I give up by replacing Moxie?

live bank feeds and payment rails; tax and accounting rule updates; audited security and recovery; multi-user controls and accountant workflows; bank, payment, tax, and reconciliation integrations. Moxie: People pay because errors touch real money. Bank connections, reconciliation, tax changes, evidence, security, and support are the product.

What can I use instead of building Moxie?

ERPNext: CRM, contracts, projects, time, invoices and a portal; the price is administering an ERP. Dolibarr: Clients, proposals, contracts, projects and billing in one old-school suite that keeps showing up to work. Check each option's license, hosting needs and feature limits.
