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.

Nadia needs this year's fundraising figures for the board packet - totals against last year, the top ten donors and donor retention. Put them in annual_figures.xlsx with live formulas and write a cover memo as memo.md. Her email and the gift policy are in the folder.

Workspace

  • email_from_treasurer.txt
  • gift_reporting_policy.txt
  • gifts_export_2024-01-01_to_2026-06-30.csv

Expected deliverables

  • annual_figures.xlsx
  • memo.md

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.
