OpenAccountants
Free AI skills (tax rules your AI follows) your AI can cite, with sources and published review status.
This library includes accountant-reviewed skills and skills no accountant has signed off yet (checked against the law, or sourced from the law). Check each skill version's review record before relying on it; a named author is distinct from a professional reviewer. Skill content is source-available under the terms in LICENSING.md.

Then ask a question your AI would otherwise guess at:
"What's the combined sales tax rate in Manatee County, Florida for 2026?"
Without OpenAccountants, models answer from training data. With it, the answer can cite the fetched skill and its review status. Name a professional reviewer only when that skill version has a published review record.

Two states, greppable honesty
Every skill is in exactly one state — and the repo greps honestly:
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Accountant-reviewed | A named, licensed accountant reviewed the complete skill. Their name is in the frontmatter (reviewed_by:) and on the public roster |
| Checked against the law | Built to the standard in docs/skill-template.md: every figure cited to the law and checked against the statute by an independent review before merge; no accountant has signed it off yet |
| Sourced from the law | Older skill not yet rebuilt to the standard: every figure cited to an official source; no accountant has signed it off yet |
The definitions: docs/QUALITY-TIERS.md. How skills are built, checked and corrected: docs/ACCURACY-METHODOLOGY.md. Which number to quote and where it is measured: docs/COVERAGE.md.
⚠️ General reference, not advice. Skills may be incomplete, outdated, or wrong for your facts. Have a qualified professional review outputs before filing, payment, or action.
Are you an accountant?
Your name on the tax knowledge AI actually uses — with attribution built in:
- Build a skill for the work you know cold: openaccountants.com/skills/new. It publishes credited to you, and lands in this repo under your name.
- Review a skill in your jurisdiction — your name, credential and review date go on it, here and on every AI answer that cites it.
- Set your GitHub username in your profile and your platform edits are committed to this repo as you — your contribution graph reflects your work.
The current roster: [VERIFIERS.md](VERIFIERS.md) (generated nightly from the platform).
How it stays accurate
A tax library is only as good as its worst stale number, so machines re-check this one every night:
- The maths check re-reads every skill and flags sums that do not add up, tax bands
with gaps, totals that do not total, and years that disagree.
- The source watch visits the official pages the figures came from and raises a hand
when a page changes.
- The refresh engine re-derives the stalest skills from official sources on a fixed
monthly budget, refusing to publish any figure without a link.
- The nightly exam tests whether AIs actually said what the skills say that day, or
improvised. Improvisation gets caught, counted and fixed at the source.
The sync runs both ways: platform edits land here as commits under the author's own name, and merged PRs here flow back into what every AI serves, credited to you. A skill with an accountant's byline never changes without that accountant's one-click approval.
