business-pulse
From the author
Produces a one-page cross-functional business snapshot for SMB owners — cash position (the ledger: MYOB, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, or Zoho Books), sales trend (PayPal/Square/Stripe), pipeline movement (HubSpot), this week's commitments (Calendar), urgent watch-list items (Gmail or M365, Slack), and the single most important thing needing attention today. Proactively tries every available connector and gracefully scopes to whatever is connected — one connector gives a partial pulse; the full stack gives the full picture. Trigger when the user asks how the business is doing, wants a snapshot, a daily brief, a Friday recap, or says anything like "what am I missing" or "catch me up on the business." A start-of-week briefing routes to /monday-brief, which runs this skill as its first link.

- monday-briefanthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsRuns the owner's Monday morning briefing as a two-link chain — business-pulse for the cross-connector snapshot of cash, sales, and pipeline, and report-builder for any saved KPI reports the owner has already defined — then reads the week ahead straight from Calendar and mail and merges all three parts into a single one-page Monday document, delivered per the owner's stored output preference. Requires no connectors and degrades gracefully, building from whatever of the ledger (MYOB, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, or Zoho Books), Calendar, DocuSign, Expensify, Gmail or M365, HubSpot, PayPal, Ramp, RingEx Chat, Shopify, Slack, Stripe, and TikTok Ads is connected, or from pasted and uploaded data when none are. Trigger on "Monday brief," "start my week," "what do I need to know this week," "weekly briefing," "catch me up before Monday," or when the owner schedules a recurring start-of-week update.OfficialMarketing★ 31K
- cash-flow-snapshotanthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsReads AR/AP, historical cash timing, and known fixed costs from the ledger (MYOB, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, or Zoho Books) or from PayPal, Square, or Stripe — or a CSV upload — and produces a 30/60/90-day cash flow forecast with percentage-variance confidence bands and named risk flags. Delivers a chat summary and a downloadable XLSX. Use when the user asks "forecast my cash flow," "will I make payroll," mentions "runway," or says "cash crunch." Falls back to CSV upload when no connector is live.OfficialData★ 31K
- growth-pulseanthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsAnswers one question for an SMB owner — is the growth engine actually working? Pulls sales trend by channel, funnel conversion, campaign return, best and worst performing products, and customer sentiment from whatever is connected, then ends with the three growth actions worth taking this week. The growth-side twin of business-pulse, which covers the finance side. Use this whenever the owner asks how marketing or sales is performing, whether a campaign paid off, where leads are coming from, why the pipeline is stalling, which products are moving, or says anything like "is my marketing working," "growth check," "how's the funnel," or "where should I put my money next month." Reach for it even when the owner names a single channel rather than growth overall.OfficialMarketing★ 31K
- plan-payrollanthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsRuns the payroll-confidence chain end to end — forecasts cash across the payroll window with cash-flow-snapshot, ranks and drafts overdue-invoice reminders with invoice-chase to close any gap, then assembles timesheets, flags every anomaly, and stages the run with payroll-prep. On Gusto the run is staged for the owner to submit; on QuickBooks Payroll, or with no payroll system, the last step is a validated run sheet the owner keys in. This chain never presses the payroll button. Builds on the ledger (MYOB, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, or Zoho Books), with Gmail or M365, PayPal, Square, Stripe, and either Gusto or QuickBooks Payroll adding detail, and falls back to CSV and timesheet uploads. Use it whenever payroll is the worry, including "can I make payroll," "payroll is due Friday," "plan payroll," "will I have enough to pay the crew," or "I need to run payroll but money is tight." Accepts optional horizon and payroll-date arguments.OfficialPlanning★ 31K
- payroll-prepanthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsGets payroll ready to run without anyone getting shorted: pulls timesheets from Gusto, QuickBooks Payroll, or an uploaded spreadsheet, totals regular, overtime, and PTO hours by person, flags every anomaly it finds — missed punches, overtime spikes, rate changes, mid-period hires and terminations, hours off the schedule — and stages the run for the owner to approve line by line before a dollar moves. Anomalies are always raised, never quietly corrected. Once the owner runs it, the journal posts to the ledger or goes to the bookkeeper. Reach for this whenever payroll comes up at all — "run payroll," "payroll is due," "check the timecards," "did everyone clock out," "how many hours did the crew put in," "why is payroll so high this week," "I need to pay the guys Friday" — and use it after cash-flow-snapshot when the owner is worried about whether payroll clears.OfficialData★ 31K
- daily-briefinganthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsMorning rundown - today's meetings with account context, opps closing soon with stale flags, waiting customer emails, and the day's top actions. Use when the user says "daily briefing", "daily brief", "morning briefing", "what's my day", "what's on my plate today", "prep my day", "start my day", "morning rundown", or on a schedule.OfficialProductivity★ 31K
