# wanderbooks
Canonical double-entry bookkeeping, rebuilt from scratch. The engine is
verified against oracles, parity is tracked automatically, and the primary
interface is AI-first: you talk to an agent, the agent drives the books
through MCP. Self-hosted, no rent.
## What it is
- **`ledger-core`** — the semantics engine. Exact decimal money, five
account types, balanced journal entries, immutable posted log with
reversing entries, trial balance, P&L, balance sheet, indirect-method
cash flow, fixed-asset register with straight-line depreciation.
- **`ledger-store`** — durable storage. The source of truth is an
append-only, hash-chained JSONL journal; SQLite is a disposable
projection rebuilt from it; receipts live in a content-addressed blob
store. Drafts are durable, corrupt projections self-heal.
- **`ledger-mcp`** — the AI-first interface. 27 MCP tools over stdio or
Streamable HTTP: draft → preview → post workflow, server-side receipt
policy (>$25), anti-splitting detection, asset management, digest for
human review, plus read-only resources for dashboards.
- **`ledger-import`** — QuickBooks interop. Import bank/credit-card CSVs
and chart-of-accounts CSVs; export IIF journal entries (for QuickBooks
Desktop) and XLSX reports.
## Verification
This is the storytold way applied to accounting: agents verify against
oracles, never ship what they haven't demonstrated.
- 70 workspace tests: invariant tests encoding accounting law, golden-file
report snapshots, property tests (proptest), end-to-end MCP stdio tests.
- Mutation testing via cargo-mutants; fuzzing via cargo-fuzz (11.5M+
executions, zero crashes).
- GnuCash is the behavioral oracle (never a code source — clean room,
MIT OR Apache-2.0).
## Status
Parity is 12 of 12 against the spreadsheet workflow it replaces
(`docs/capability-parity.md`). The parallel-run plan
(`docs/parallel-run.md`) is written; the Google Sheet stays the system of
record until a clean month and explicit cutover approval.
See [`plan/STATUS.md`](plan/STATUS.md) for where things stand and
[`plan/roadmap.md`](plan/roadmap.md) for where it's going.
## Quickstart
