/monthly-strategy
Monthly strategic report — brand share, depreciation, trends, inventory intelligence via multi-agent
Purpose
/monthly-strategy triggers the monthly-dealer-strategy skill — a 5-section comprehensive report using three parallel sub-agents. Run on the first Monday of each month for a complete strategic picture of how the market moved last month and what to do about it.
The 30-day action plan at the end is the primary output: five prioritized actions ranked by estimated dollar impact, covering repricing, stocking, model-specific depreciation risk, and market share shifts relevant to the dealer's franchise brand.
Arguments
How It Works
Execution flow. MCP tool calls are shown inline on each step.
Load profile, verify all fields. Calculate current_month, prior_month, and three_months_ago date ranges. Route US to full workflow, UK to supply-side only.
get_sold_summarySimultaneously spawn lot-scanner (facets-only), market-demand-agent (D/S ratios + turn rates), and brand-market-analyst (brand share + market trends).
get_sold_summaryAfter lot-scanner returns top 5 models: call get_sold_summary twice per model (current month + 3 months ago). Flag >1.5%/month as ACCELERATING DEPRECIATION.
search_active_carssearch_active_cars facets for make and body type with price/DOM stats. Runs in parallel with Wave 2.
Combine all agent outputs into brand performance, depreciation watch, market trends, inventory intelligence, and supply-side overview. Generate 30-day action plan.
MCP Tool Calls
| Tool | Calls | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
get_sold_summary | 10-15 | Brand share (2 periods), market demand, turn rates, depreciation (2 periods × 5 models) |
search_active_cars | 2-3 | Supply-side overview facets and lot composition |

Cost Estimate
1 monthly run ≈ $0.22 – $0.90/month
Limitations
- US-focused — UK dealers receive supply-side overview only.
- Requires dealer_id for lot-scanner section. Without it, depreciation watch uses user-specified models.
- Three parallel agents — if one fails, that section is missing from the assembled report.
- Run time: 3-6 minutes.
