The request

The task request supplied to the adapter, alongside the workspace below. Runtime instructions, authorized tools and skills also affect the system. Containerized runs withhold host-side references; local mode is not an isolation boundary.

Graham needs the 2026 deferred revenue schedule for the year-end file, and his email in the folder says how he wants it done. Save it as deferred_revenue.xlsx.

Workspace

  • billing_change_log_2026.csv
  • billing_contracts_export.xlsx
  • email_from_graham_cpa.txt

Expected deliverables

  • deferred_revenue.xlsx

This task also has a task-specific grader (check.py).

Recorded acceptance checks

The table uses check names and outcomes from the frozen campaign ledger. Acceptance requires all required predicates to pass; a predicate may itself contain a tolerance or coverage threshold. Its scope is part of the measurement contract.
