Details
From the project READMERun the Friday wins-and-watches briefing. Pull the numbers, surface what matters, and give the owner a clean end-of-week picture.
Parse arguments:
--lookback(default:7d) —7dfor one week or14dfor a two-week rolling comparison
Step 1 — Revenue pulse
Using the business-pulse skill workflow:
- Pull PayPal transactions for the lookback period.
- Pull any HubSpot deal closes for the same window.
- Calculate week-over-week revenue delta.
- Surface top 3 revenue sources (product / customer / channel) ranked by contribution.
Step 2 — Sales breakdown
- List the top 5 selling products/services by volume and revenue.
- List the bottom 3 (anything that moved less than expected vs. prior period).
- Flag any items with a sudden spike or drop (>20% change).
Step 3 — Wins and watches summary
Format the output as:
Friday Brief — {date}
WINS
• {win 1}
• {win 2}
• {win 3}
WATCHES
• {watch 1} — {recommended action}
• {watch 2} — {recommended action}
Revenue this week: ${amount} ({+/-}X% vs last week)
Connector failures
Run with whatever is connected — this command degrades gracefully. If PayPal is missing, skip transaction data and note "PayPal not connected — revenue data from HubSpot deals only." If HubSpot is missing, skip deal closes and note it. If neither is connected, stop and tell the owner: "No revenue sources connected. Connect PayPal or HubSpot to run the Friday brief."
Approval gates
- Never send or post this brief automatically. Always display it for the owner to review first.
- Never auto-cancel or modify anything. Surface the data and recommendations only.
Output
End with the formatted brief and ask the owner: "Want me to post this to Slack, email it to yourself, or save it?"
