Plutio
Projects, CRM, proposals, contracts, invoices, forms, and portals
Do not mistake the interface for the product. Plutio'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
- multi-user controls and accountant workflows
- bank, payment, tax, and reconciliation integrations
- live bank feeds and payment rails
- tax and accounting rule updates
- audited security and recovery
Why people still pay
Plutio: People pay because errors touch real money. Bank connections, reconciliation, tax changes, evidence, security, and support are the product.
Your build guide
The stack, security requirements, and agent rules for a focused replacement.
Before you start
- Node.js 22
- SQLite
- CSV exports from the user's own accounts
- Explicit README warning that this is a consolation build, not a production replacement
Use these project rules and optional skill references alongside the prompt. Review each skill before adding it to your agent; the AGENTS.md export includes the same guidance.
Project rule, data: Model accounts, source transactions, ledger entries, reconciliations, and reports; keep stable source IDs and timestamps.
Project rule, behavior: For freelance work platform, create a client record and capture the scope, amount, and version of one proposal.
Project rule, recovery: A changed proposal must create a new version; a repeated payment event cannot mark the same invoice paid twice.
Implementation plan
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.
Phase 2, implement
For freelance work platform, create a client record and capture the scope, amount, and version of one proposal.
Phase 3, implement
Record proposal acceptance before generating an invoice with integer minor-unit amounts.
Phase 4, review and output
Track payment status and export the signed-off proposal, invoice, and activity history.
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: multi-user controls and accountant workflows.
Build me a focused freelance work platform workflow for the personal core of Plutio. 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: Projects, CRM, proposals, contracts, invoices, forms, and portals. Build only this DIY scope: Build a private freelance work platform ledger that imports user-supplied CSV files, categorizes entries, reconciles balances, and exports reports. - For freelance work platform, 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: multi-user controls and accountant workflows; bank, payment, tax, and reconciliation integrations. 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 Plutio
Can you build your own Plutio with AI?
A full replacement is not the recommended project. Do not mistake the interface for the product. Plutio'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 Plutio build prompt cover?
The prompt starts with this scope: Build a private freelance work platform ledger that imports user-supplied CSV files, categorizes entries, reconciles balances, and exports reports. Full-product capabilities excluded from the comparison include: multi-user controls and accountant workflows; bank, payment, tax, and reconciliation integrations; live bank feeds and payment rails. 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 Plutio 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 Plutio 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 Plutio?
multi-user controls and accountant workflows; bank, payment, tax, and reconciliation integrations; live bank feeds and payment rails; tax and accounting rule updates; audited security and recovery. Plutio: 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 Plutio?
ERPNext: Projects, CRM, proposals, contracts, invoices, forms and portals; the all-in-one exists, but it is an ERP. Dolibarr: A modular back office for clients, contracts, projects and billing; assembling modules replaces buying Plutio. Check each option's license, hosting needs and feature limits.
