name: hubdoc-reviewer description: Review all unreviewed documents in Hubdoc. Use when reviewing, processing or publishing Hubdoc receipts and bills.
Hubdoc Reviewer
Reviews all documents in the Hubdoc Review tab, one by one, and (when that is empty) the Failed tab.
Skill maintenance goal
When adding or updating instructions in this skill, all documented methods (JS selectors, click sequences, field-setting approaches) must be tested and verified to work before being committed to the skill. Never document untested code. The goal is to build bulletproof, reliable documentation so that Hubdoc automation works first time without painful trial and error.
Prerequisites
- The
agent-browserskill is installed agent-browserconnected to Chrome- Tab open on https://app.hubdoc.com (open new one if necessary)
Do not use agent-browser wait --load networkidle — Xero never
reaches networkidle; use agent-browser wait 3000 instead.
Logging in
Always use "Sign In With Xero" — never use the email/password form:
# If the login page appears, click "Sign In With Xero"
agent-browser snapshot -i # find the Sign In With Xero link
agent-browser click @eN
agent-browser wait 3000
Finding and interacting with page elements
Always use snapshot -i -C (not just -i) when looking for interactive
elements. The -C flag includes cursor-interactive elements (divs with
onclick, cursor:pointer) which many Hubdoc buttons and controls rely on.
Omitting -C will cause buttons to be invisible to the snapshot.
Choose the approach based on the nature of the element you're looking for:
- Element with a known ID (see
references/fields.md) → JS eval to confirm which ref corresponds to that ID. Use JS only to identify, not to set values. - Labelled interactive element (button, link, named input) →
snapshot -i -C; use the ref directly. - Element identified by surrounding label text (e.g. an unlabelled combobox
next to an "Account Code" label) →
snapshot(no-i) to get the full accessibility tree including non-interactive text, then find the label and identify the adjacent ref. - Nothing else works → screenshot as a last resort for visual confirmation.
Taking into account some exceptions listed in the references below, as a general rule once the correct ref is identified, first try to interact via
agent-browser select/fill/click @eN
and similar, and only move onto other techniques like eval with JS
if that fails.
Xero vs Xero Files
Hubdoc has a Xero destination section and a separate Xero Files section. They are not interchangeable.
- For accounting publish configuration, always use the Xero section.
- Never use the Xero Files section when configuring or publishing a document for accounting.
- If publish fields are not visible, expand the Xero section itself, not the Xero Files section.
- When inspecting the DOM, verify you are using
xero-edit-integrationorpush-to-xero-*fields, notxerofiles-edit-integrationorpush-to-xerofiles-*fields. - Scroll the Xero section into view before interacting with it. Its
controls (Status, Account Code, Contact, Publish button) sit below the
fold on most viewports, and clicks on off-screen refs can miss or hit
the wrong element. Use
agent-browser scrollintoview @refon the Xero section header (or any ref inside it) before snapshotting and acting:
Do NOT useagent-browser snapshot -i -C # find the Xero section ref agent-browser scrollintoview @eN # scroll Xero section into view agent-browser snapshot -i -C # re-snapshot for in-view refsevalwithscrollIntoView()— prefer the nativeagent-browser scrollintoviewcommand (same convention asxero-browserskill).
Account code guidance
Before guessing an account code, consult the local accounting guidance
for your workspace — typically a file under your project's notes
directory, an environment variable like $ACCOUNTING_NOTES, or a
project-level CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md entry. Account-code conventions
vary per Xero organisation, so never rely on memorised codes from
another tenant.
