## What it does

The skill takes your chosen KPIs and turns them into a digest: how each metric changed over the period, what drove the change, and what stands out. Every metric goes into Adobe Analytics in two `runReport` calls — current period plus comparison period — no matter how many KPIs you track.

It works through the AA MCP tools: `findReportSuites` and `setSessionDefaults` pick the report suite, `describeAa` loads org context, calendar config and timezone, `findMetrics` validates metric IDs, and `listComponentUsage` suggests the most-used metrics when you name none. For the 1–2 metrics with the largest change it also breaks down a dimension and writes a one- or two-sentence driver narrative. Output is an HTML card deck at `/tmp/aa_kpi_pulse_report_<YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS>.html`.

The calendar rule is strict: current and comparison periods must start on the same day of week, and the comparison window ends exactly one day before the current one starts. If today falls in the first 3 days of a period, the data may be incomplete and the comparison skewed — worth checking before you send the numbers on. The skill caps a pulse at 8 metrics and asks you to prioritize beyond that.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adobe/skills --skill aa-kpi-pulse -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/aa-kpi-pulse/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/aa-kpi-pulse/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adobe/skills --skill aa-kpi-pulse -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/aa-kpi-pulse/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adobe/skills --skill aa-kpi-pulse -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/aa-kpi-pulse/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/adobe/skills --path plugins/adobe-analytics/skills/aa-kpi-pulse
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/aa-kpi-pulse/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adobe/skills --skill aa-kpi-pulse -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/adobe/skills/tree/HEAD/plugins/adobe-analytics/skills/aa-kpi-pulse/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- pull a weekly recap of key metrics
- show what drove a traffic spike or drop
- prepare a morning KPI briefing
- compare the current period against the previous one on the same metrics
- find the top contributor behind a metric change

## Example prompts
- give me a KPI digest for this week
- what moved in the last 7 days
- summarize our Adobe Analytics metrics for this month

  Produces a compact KPI digest showing how key metrics changed over a period
  and what's driving the movement. Use this skill when someone asks for a
  performance summary, a weekly recap, a morning briefing, a KPI update, or any
  variation of "how did we do this week/month." Also trigger for "give me a
  performance overview," "what moved in the last 7 days," "pull our AA KPI
  report," or "summarize our metrics."

# KPI Pulse (Adobe Analytics)

Produce a compact, digestible KPI digest showing how key metrics changed over
a chosen period, which items drove the change, and what stood out. Batches all
KPIs into two `runReport` calls (current period + comparison period) and
assembles results into an HTML performance card deck.

---

## AA MCP Tools Used

- `findReportSuites` — select working report suite
- `setSessionDefaults` — set session context (reportSuiteId + globalCompanyId)
- `describeAa(REPORT_SUITE_CONTEXT_GUIDE)` — load org context, top metrics,
  calendar config, and timezone
- `findMetrics` — discover and validate metric IDs
- `listComponentUsage` — identify top-used metrics if user hasn't specified
- `runReport` — all KPIs batched in one call per period (current + comparison)
- `searchDimensionItems` — find top contributors for top-mover callouts

---

## Phase 0 — Setup

1. Confirm report suite with `findReportSuites` / `setSessionDefaults`.
2. Call `describeAa(REPORT_SUITE_CONTEXT_GUIDE)` to load organizational
   context: top metrics, calendar configuration, and timezone. Record the
   report suite's first-day-of-week as `WEEK_START_DOW` and the report suite
   timezone as `TIMEZONE` — you will use both when computing reporting
   periods in Phase 2. If the context guide returns no `WEEK_START_DOW`,
   default to **Monday** (ISO 8601).

```
findReportSuites(globalCompanyId: "<gcid>")
setSessionDefaults(globalCompanyId: "<gcid>", reportSuiteId: "<rsid>")
describeAa(guideType: "REPORT_SUITE_CONTEXT_GUIDE")
```

---

## Phase 1 — Select KPIs

### 1.1 If the user specified metrics

Resolve each to an AA metric ID:

```
findMetrics(searchTerm: "<metric name>")
```

Cap at 8 metrics for a focused pulse. If more are requested, ask the user
to prioritize or offer to split into multiple reports.

### 1.2 If the user has not specified metrics

Use `listComponentUsage` to find the most-used metrics in the report suite:

```
listComponentUsage(componentType: "metric")
```

Select the top 5–7 by usage count. Confirm with the user:
> "Based on usage, I'll track: Visits, Page Views, Revenue, Orders,
````
