Made a quick prompt over the 
weekend: https://gist.github.com/jaanli/1f735ce0ddec4aa4d1fccb4535f3843f

Results are that my partner (someone non-technical, design background, but 
familiar with prompt engineering) can use the prompts—the last thing I 
would want is an inscrutable system that I manually built to import 
transactions from our dozen institutions across multiple countries & 
currencies, that they can't re-use or extend. 

Visual Studio Code and the Beancount extension are already a stretch for 
them so having something that works with a single prompt at a time and copy 
and pasting was my goal.

Hope this helps someone else! Surprised that these tools are not easier to 
use (and thank you for beancount, this wouldn't be possible otherwise :)

Would be fun to extend this with DSPy 
(https://github.com/stanfordnlp/dspy/blob/main/intro.ipynb) which could 
likely help squeeze several different converters into a few signatures 
(compressed prompts), and things like chain-of-thought prompting (iterative 
runs of large language models) would further reduce the 
extract-transform-load overhead that has kept me from trying beancount all 
these years.

Very best,
Jaan
