Plan a sprint — scope work, estimate capacity, set goals, and draft a sprint plan. Use when kicking off a new sprint, sizing a backlog against team availability (accounting for PTO and meetings), deciding what's P0 vs. stretch, or handling carryover from the last sprint.

testing
Analyze pipeline health — prioritize deals, flag risks, get a weekly action plan. Use when running a weekly pipeline review, deciding which deals to focus on this week, spotting stale or stuck opportunities, auditing for hygiene issues like bad close dates, or identifying single-threaded deals.
testing
Generate a weighted sales forecast with best/likely/worst scenarios, commit vs. upside breakdown, and gap analysis. Use when preparing a quarterly forecast call, assessing gap-to-quota from a pipeline CSV, deciding which deals to commit vs. call upside, or checking pipeline coverage against your number.
development
Research a prospect then draft personalized outreach. Uses web research by default, supercharged with enrichment and CRM. Trigger with "draft outreach to [person/company]", "write cold email to [prospect]", "reach out to [name]".
data-ai
Start your day with a prioritized sales briefing. Works standalone when you tell me your meetings and priorities, supercharged when you connect your calendar, CRM, and email. Trigger with "morning briefing", "daily brief", "what's on my plate today", "prep my day", or "start my day".
