/weekly-review
Full weekly auction operations review — lane projection, consignment pipeline, buyer prospects, and brand watch
Purpose
Weekly auction planning requires assembling a picture from multiple data streams: what does the DMA market look like this week, which lane composition will maximize next sale's sell-through, which dealers have fresh wholesale-ready inventory to source, which dealers should be buying, and what are the brand-level depreciation signals to watch? Doing this manually takes 30–60 minutes; /weekly-review does it in under 15.
/weekly-review uses a multi-agent architecture to simultaneously run a DMA market analysis and brand depreciation scan, while inline calls pull the consignment pipeline and buyer prospects. The assembled weekly report includes market overview, lane projection for the next sale, consignment pipeline with expected hammer prices, buyer prospect list, brand watch signals, and 5 specific actions for the week.
Arguments
How It Works
Execution flow. MCP tool calls are shown inline on each step.
Reads all profile fields for full weekly configuration.
Spawns dma-scanner agent (DMA market intelligence) and brand-market-analyst agent (brand share + depreciation) in parallel.
Calls search_active_cars for aged inventory (DOM > 60), then calls predict_price_with_comparables for top 10 units to calculate expected hammer.
Calls search_active_cars with dealer facets and DOM stats to identify dealers with avg DOM > 50 and 30+ units as this week's buyer targets.
Assembles market overview, lane projection, consignment pipeline, buyer prospects, brand watch, and top 5 weekly actions.

Limitations
- Multi-agent architecture means total call count scales with DMA complexity and consignment pipeline depth.
- Designed for Monday morning planning; use /daily-briefing each day for daily operations.
- Lane projection is a recommendation based on current D/S ratios, not a guarantee of sell-through results.
