## What it does

This skill converts Adobe Customer Journey Analytics metrics into an HTML executive briefing. Instead of raw data tables, it builds KPI tiles and narrative bullet points focused on business impact. Driver analysis highlights the factors behind performance swings. The output is formatted for printing.

Under the hood, the skill queries CJA using dedicated MCP tools. It inspects data view details with `describeCja`, discovers metric identifiers via `findMetrics`, and retrieves numbers with `runReport`. It enforces strict calendar alignment: comparison intervals must match the current period in length and stay contiguous.

The workflow requires an active Adobe CJA MCP server and an existing data view. Calls will fail without them.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adobe/skills --skill cja-executive-briefing -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adobe/skills --skill cja-executive-briefing -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adobe/skills --skill cja-executive-briefing -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

description: >
  Generates a polished, leadership-ready performance briefing with KPI tiles,
  executive narrative bullets, and a driver analysis — all as a print-ready HTML
  document. Always use this skill when someone asks for an executive summary,
  performance briefing, leadership readout, stakeholder update, or business review
  — even if they don't say "executive" explicitly. Trigger phrases include:
  "write a summary of last week's performance," "create a briefing for our
  leadership team," "produce a monthly business review," "what should I tell
  executives about our metrics," "generate a performance narrative," "QBR summary,"
  "weekly business review," "board update," "stakeholder briefing," "how did we
  do last week," or "give me a performance snapshot." When in doubt, use this skill
  — it is always better to produce a polished briefing than a raw data dump.

# Executive Briefing (Customer Journey Analytics)

Produce a polished, leadership-ready performance document. Executives do not
read data tables — they read narratives that answer "are we growing?", "what
changed?", and "what do we do about it?"

This skill converts CJA data into a briefing that a VP or C-suite leader can
read in under 3 minutes, with supporting data available for those who want to
dig deeper.

Tone: business impact, not technical metrics. Write "Revenue grew 12% driven by
a strong Paid Search week" not "metrics/revenue increased by 0.12 per metrics/sessions."

---

## CJA MCP Tools Used

- `describeCja(DATAVIEW_CONTEXT_GUIDE)` — understand the business context of the data view
- `listComponentUsage` — identify the north-star and supporting KPIs
- `findMetrics` — resolve user-specified or discovered metric IDs
- `findCalculatedMetrics` — include custom business KPIs
- `runReport` — pull KPI values for current and comparison period
- `searchDimensionItems` — identify top driver dimension values

---

## Phase 0 — Setup

1. Call `findDataViews` to list available data views.
2. If the user hasn't specified a data view, present the list and ask which to use.
3. Call `setDefaultSessionDataViewId` with the chosen ID.
4. Confirm the reporting period (default: last 7 days) and the audience for the briefing (executive, board, team lead).

---

## Phase 1 — Establish Context

### 1.1 Load data view context

Call `describeCja("DATAVIEW_CONTEXT_GUIDE")` to understand:
- What business the data view represents (e-commerce, media, SaaS, etc.)
- The primary conversion event and revenue metric
- **Calendar conventions and timezone.** Record these values — they are
  inputs to every date computation in 1.2:
  - `WEEK_START_DOW` — day of week each week starts on (Sunday, Monday, …).
    Default: **Monday** (ISO 8601) if the context guide doesn't specify.
  - `FISCAL_YEAR_START_MONTH` — month the fiscal year begins. Default:
```
