# Beancount > Chapter 6 · GitHub facts 2026-10-22 · Web version: https://finance-agents.dev/projects/beancount ## What it does The README describes a double-entry bookkeeping language: transactions in a text file, loaded into memory, with reports and a web interface. `pyproject.toml` depends on `click`, `python-dateutil`, and `regex`. GitHub also reports C and HTML besides Python. This list files Beancount as a plaintext ledger that bookkeeping agents often target. It is not itself an LLM agent. ## Repository facts
