/earnings-preview
Pre-earnings operational brief for any OEM or dealer group ticker — volume, share, ASP, and DOM signals before the call
Purpose
/earnings-preview is the command wrapper for the earnings-preview skill — provides a structured pre-call brief for any OEM or dealer group ticker. Run it before every earnings call to arm yourself with real-time operational data that company guidance can't obfuscate.
Arguments
TICKERrequiredOEM ticker (F, GM, TM, STLA, TSLA, etc.) or dealer group ticker (AN, LAD, KMX, etc.)
How It Works
Execution flow. MCP tool calls are shown inline on each step.
Maps ticker to make list (OEM) or dealer group name (retail). Identifies the relevant quarter's date range from the current date context.
get_sold_summaryCalls get_sold_summary for current quarter and prior quarter — computes volume change %, share bps change, ASP change, and DOM change.
get_sold_summaryCalls get_sold_summary for DOM trend and optionally search_active_cars for days supply — flags ELEVATED inventory conditions.
Formats as a pre-call brief: BULLISH/BEARISH/MIXED headline, metric-by-metric signals, consensus vs data comparison, and key questions for management.
MCP Tool Calls
| Tool | Calls | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
get_sold_summary | 3–5 | Quarterly volume, share, ASP, DOM for current and prior quarter |
search_active_cars | 0–2 | Days supply for inventory health check (optional) |
Example Output

Truck volume down — what drove GMC Sierra and Silverado softness? 2. EV mix accelerating — what is the impact on gross margin per unit? 3. Is the -40 bps share loss seasonal or structural vs Ford and Toyota?
Cost Estimate
20 previews/month ≈ $2–6
Limitations
- US market only.
- Quarter date range computed from current date context — confirm quarter boundaries if running mid-quarter.
- Does not include international revenue segments — supplement with company filings for non-US exposure.
