606 - Scripts as skills: the weekly review the agent runs on your business

• 601Do not spend AI on what a script can doThe automation gap, what integration platforms and laptop scripts each cost, and the division of labor: a script for the deterministic part, the model for writing it and for judgment.
• 602The agent writes the first scriptThe loop from create to save, what validate and a dry run report, the dialect’s deliberate absences, the traps that fail a draft, and the script’s page in the portal.
• 603Outputs: feeds, reports, and dashboards that refresh themselvesOutput identity across runs, tables and documents, the semi-dynamic dashboard and its data region, the referencing pattern, version caps, and delivery to a bucket drop.
• 604Running it: by hand, from the portal, and on a scheduleThree triggers, the cadence builder, the pinned fire date, what a schedule guarantees, and the run history with every trigger, duration, output, and log.
• 605What a run may do, and the record it leavesThe authority a run carries, what a save refuses, why the language cannot reach out, the lifecycle, ownership and transfer, and the administrator’s view.
• 606Scripts as skills: the weekly review the agent runs on your businessThree scripts attached to one prompt, the agent running them and reading the outputs against the knowledge graph, and a weekly list of action items with the figures behind them.

  last run 3,605 ms

  Computes

  Units and gross revenue per category for the review week against the week before, with each category’s tracked positions in the five stock health bands.

  Reaches

  Two warehouse queries.

  Outputs

  category-velocity (csv, 50 rows) and category-velocity-feed (json), assets 3fe22a6d-3868-4020-81ca-9a248b61736d and f39cf0f8-0456-4537-8e35-2241b9e6eb16.

• acme-supplier-margin

  last run 8,231 ms

  Computes

  The current Blue Harbor quote against the cost of record and the shelf price, weighted by the month’s sales: cost change by category, the at-risk SKUs, and coverage. The 500 series’ registered table, read by a script.

  Reaches

  Three warehouse queries joined to the registered table.

  Outputs

  supplier-margin-by-category (csv), supplier-margin-feed (json), and the refreshed supplier-margin-dashboard, assets 871da875…, 589855b4…, and bab7c8e7….

• acme-weather-context

  last run 1,856 ms

  Computes

  Each region’s revenue change for the week, paired with its anchor city’s highs, lows, precipitation, snowfall, and wet days from the historical weather archive.

  Reaches

  One warehouse query and eight calls through the open-meteo connection.

  Outputs

  weather-context (json, one entry per region) and weather-context-daily (csv, 56 rows), assets 2e10a16c-7f61-42dc-85f3-2f103349f99e and 047b038f-68ff-4fb3-919e-78387418c8c2.

Produce the weekly merchandising review for the week starting {week_start}.

Do the data work with the attached scripts; do not re-derive their numbers yourself:
1. Run acme-category-velocity with week_start={week_start}
2. Run acme-supplier-margin with month set to the first day of the month and mode=refresh
3. Run acme-weather-context with week_start={week_start}

Read the outputs and apply the organization's knowledge before judging anything:
- ACME Retail Seasonality Calendar     - ACME Returns Policy
- ACME Store Formats                    - Inventory Stock Health
- Weather and Store Operations Playbook

Write the review as a markdown document:
- Headline   - Promote   - Discount   - Discontinue or renegotiate   - Watch
- Every item carries the figure that justifies it and names the script output it came from.

Save it with save_asset as "Weekly merchandising review, week of {week_start}", citing the
three run outputs. Share it with {recipient}, or create a link any signed-in user can open.
Finish by capturing, with memory_capture, any business fact the knowledge pages did not state.

availability

embedded, for each of the three scripts, because the caller owns them.

contract

name, display name, the full description, owner, category, tags, status, enabled, and params with types and defaults: week_start (date, 2025-12-08), conn (connection, acme), and for the margin script mode (enum refresh or publish).

version

1, 6, and 1: the latest saved version of each, which is what run_script executes.

schedule

On the margin script only: cron_spec 0 7 * * 1, timezone America/Los_Angeles, next_run_at 2026-08-31T14:00:00Z.

last_successful_run

The run id, version, finished_at, and every output with its asset id and version, so the agent can read a recent result without running anything.

the instruction

“Call run_script with a script’s name and parameters to produce fresh output, and use what it returns rather than re-deriving the same result yourself.”

• Headline

  $4,688,138 against $4,500,609 the week before, up 4.1 percent.

  The normal second-week-of-December build toward the peak, not a demand event. Every region grew, from Southwest at +0.9 percent to Midwest at +6.4 percent.

• Promote

  First Aid, Outdoor & Sports, Storage & Organization, Garden Supplies, Meat & Seafood.

  First Aid +12.6% to $96,232 with 3,981 of 5,757 positions Healthy and a projected margin of 31.7% under a quote up 3.9%; Outdoor & Sports +12.5% at 38.7%; Storage & Organization +11.4% at 38.9%; Garden Supplies +10.6% at 42.8%; Meat & Seafood +10.1% at 27.7%.

• Discount

  Stationery, Pasta & Grains, Snacks & Chips, Paper Products, Pet Supplies.

  Stationery -5.2% to $109,474 at a 28.9% margin; Pasta & Grains -5.1% at 36.7%; Snacks & Chips -4.1% at 41.6%; Paper Products -4.0% at 34.4%; Pet Supplies -3.8% at 26.8%. All five hold about 70% of positions Healthy.

• Discontinue or renegotiate

  SKU-000256, SKU-000175, SKU-000212, SKU-000313, SKU-000219.

  SKU-000256 Personal Care: price $61.92, cost of record $84.77, December quote $94.80, projected margin -53.1%, $792.37 a month. SKU-000175 -41.6%, $342.24. SKU-000212 -36.2%, $86.48. SKU-000313 -28.9%, $70.38. SKU-000219 +0.6% on a quote up 22.2%, $100.04. Twelve products carry a cost of record above their price, a catalog data-quality issue raised separately.

• Watch

  Toys & Games, Gift Cards, Personal Care, Batteries & Electronics, Northwest, Southwest, Central, Midwest, the week of December 22.

  Toys & Games +10.6% and Gift Cards +3.0% are the December peak. Personal Care is up 7.0% in revenue but its quote is up 11.9% (margin 24.1 to 15.1). Batteries & Electronics +8.6% with a quote up 13.9%. Northwest +1.5% with five wet days in Seattle. Southwest +0.9% and Central +1.3% with dry weather deserve a store-level look. Midwest +6.4% through a cold snap.

• Organic & Natural is the fastest category (+12.6 percent to $105,623) but is not on this list: its projected margin under the quote is 21.5 percent (down from 23.8) and 982 of its 5,757 positions are Critical Low or Out of Stock (17 percent). That is a replenishment problem first; promoting it would sell into empty shelves.

• Baking Supplies is also down (-2.3 percent) but is excluded: the December quote raises its cost 14.5 percent and its projected margin falls to 31.3 percent from 40.0, so a markdown would stack on a cost increase. Hold price and see the Watch list.

• Northwest grew only 1.5 percent; Seattle had five days with more than a tenth of an inch of rain that week. Per the weather playbook, that is weather, not performance. Southwest (+0.9 percent, Dallas dry, highs in the mid-60s) and Central (+1.3 percent, Denver dry) have no weather excuse and are worth a store-level look next week.
