INSTALLATION

npx skills add https://github.com/anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --skill friday-brief

Run in your project or agent environment. Adjust flags if your CLI version differs.

SKILL.md

Run 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) — 7d for one week or 14d for 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?"
