description: Delivers the Friday end-of-week pulse — revenue vs prior week, top sellers, wins and watches. Accepts optional lookback window of 7 or 14 days.
allowed-tools: Read, WebFetch, Bash
---
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:
1. Pull PayPal transactions for the lookback period.
2. Pull any HubSpot deal closes for the same window.
3. Calculate week-over-week revenue delta.
4. Surface top 3 revenue sources (product / customer / channel) ranked by contribution.
## Step 2 — Sales breakdown
1. List the top 5 selling products/services by volume and revenue.
2. List the bottom 3 (anything that moved less than expected vs. prior period).
3. 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?"
