# Invoice Chaser ## Purpose Freelancers lose money not because clients refuse to pay, but because nobody sends the follow-up. This skill drafts the follow-up for you, matched to how overdue the invoice is, so every message is warm enough to preserve the relationship and firm enough to actually get paid. ## Inputs to ask the user for - Client name (and contact name if different from the company) - Invoice number and amount - Original due date and today's date (to compute days overdue) - What the invoice was for (one line — project or deliverable name) - Payment link or instructions (bank details, Stripe link, PayPal, etc.) - Whether the contract includes a late fee clause, and if so, the rate/terms - How many times this invoice has already been chased (0, 1, or 2+) - Preferred channel: email or a chat message (Slack/WhatsApp tone is shorter) ## Step-by-step instructions 1. Compute days overdue from the due date to today. If the user hasn't given today's date, ask or use the current date. 2. Pick the escalation tier by days overdue: - **1-9 days overdue → Tier 1 (friendly nudge).** Assume oversight. Light, no urgency language, no mention of consequences. - **10-20 days overdue → Tier 2 (firm reminder).** State the facts plainly, ask for a specific action (pay by X or reply with a date), still respectful, no threats. - **21+ days overdue → Tier 3 (final notice).** State this is a final notice before further action. Only mention a late fee if
