Inspiration

Receipts and home photos are often kept in different folders. After a burglary, fire or flood, finding the right documents is another problem to solve. Claim Kit is a proposed UGREEN AI NAS skill that helps households prepare an inventory before a loss and find the evidence for the items they name afterward.

What it does

Starting from folders the user selects, Claim Kit proposes a room-by-room inventory. Each item keeps its receipt line, quantity, printed price and currency, purchase date, related photos and missing evidence. The user reviews the result before files are written. Originals stay unchanged, and a copy can be kept on a user-selected USB drive away from home.

The important question is not just “does this photo show a TV?” but “why does it belong to this purchase?” A link needs a completely read unique identifier shared by a document of that purchase and the object, or the owner's explicit confirmation. Similar model, brand, date or location alone is insufficient.

In an invented example, a receipt lists a €649 TV and two similar TVs appear in photos. Both photos remain candidates until there is a justified link. “Not sure” preserves the uncertainty instead of turning it into a guess. Possible duplicate purchases and conflicting amounts also remain visible. Claim and update modes preserve those decisions.

How it is built

The Round 1 package contains SKILL.md and three Markdown references. It delegates bounded instructions to the NAS document, photo and file agents. Photo searches require consent; writing waits for user and platform approval. A gap list identifies the next useful question or missing document.

The received package passes the official kit's static checker. A separate, hand-coded reference model passes 19 invented cases; the earlier rules failed four of the five added photo-link cases. That model runs neither the skill nor a NAS. No NAS execution, extraction accuracy or time saved for a household is claimed.

What we learned and what comes next

Keeping uncertainty is more useful than producing a complete-looking inventory with unjustified photo links. The next validation would exercise the actual NAS tools: 30 invented receipts, 40 home photos, the loss-recovery flow and an ambiguous two-TV case. Reading labels and preserving quantities must be checked in that environment.

Claim Kit does not value possessions or guarantee that a claim will be accepted. Its evidence depends on the documents kept, and a fire or theft can take the NAS too. The PDF describes the proposal, current status and validation plan; the ZIP contains the skill instructions.
