## What it does

This skill makes the agent work through a forecast the way a sales ops lead would. Deals get weighted by probability, several scenarios come out side by side, and past forecasts get checked against what actually closed.

The skill ships as a single instruction file. It defines the output format — a results block followed by recommendations — and lists common use cases with the response approach: read the context first, then produce copy-paste ready output. No API key or extra library is involved, since everything runs on the deal data you hand the agent.

Accuracy depends on your pipeline export. If close dates and amounts are missing from the CRM, the skill will not invent them — worth fixing the export before trusting any number.

## When to use it
- build a probability-weighted forecast from open deals
- put commit and best-case scenarios in one report
- check how far past forecasts drifted from actuals
- spot deals that keep slipping past their close date
- hand leadership a ready summary instead of raw rows

## Example prompts
- Build a weighted forecast for this quarter from my pipeline, with commit and best-case shown separately
- Compare last quarter's forecasts against actual closes and tell me where we were consistently off
- Flag deals whose close date moved more than twice
