Generate a marketing performance report with key metrics, trend analysis, insights, and optimization recommendations.

Trigger

User runs /performance-report or asks for a marketing report, performance analysis, campaign results, or metrics summary.

Inputs

1. Report type — determine which type of report the user needs:

   • Campaign report — performance of a specific campaign
   • Channel report — performance across a specific channel (email, social, paid, SEO, etc.)
   • Content performance — how content pieces are performing
   • Overall marketing report — cross-channel summary (weekly, monthly, quarterly)
   • Custom — user-defined scope

2. Time period — the reporting window (last week, last month, last quarter, custom date range)

3. Data source:

   • If ~~product analytics is connected: pull performance data automatically
   • If not connected: ask the user to provide metrics. Prompt with: "Please paste or share your performance data. I can work with spreadsheets, CSV data, dashboard screenshots described in text, or just the key numbers."

4. Comparison period (optional) — prior period or year-over-year for trend context

5. Stakeholder audience (optional) — who will read this report (executive summary style vs. detailed analyst view)
