Daily Dealer Briefing — Morning Operational Health Check

A 5-minute morning briefing that surfaces the two things a dealer needs to act on immediately: aging inventory bleeding floor plan and competitors who just dropped their prices.

Architecture: This skill uses the lot-scanner agent (with pagination) to pull aging inventory, and the lot-pricer agent to price them — while competitor scanning runs in parallel inline.

Dealer Group Profile (Load First)

Load the marketcheck-profile.md project memory file. If missing, prompt /onboarding and stop.

Extract ALL locations from dealer_group.locations[]. For each location record: name, dealer_id, dealer_type, franchise_brands, zip (US) or postcode (UK), state (US) or region (UK), web_domain, country. Extract group-level preferences: aging_threshold (default 60), floor_plan_cost_per_day (default $35), default_radius_miles.

Location scope: If a specific location name is provided, match to locations[].name and run for that location only. If "all" or no argument, iterate through EVERY location — all execution steps below run for each location using that location's own dealer_id, zip/postcode, state/region, dealer_type, and franchise_brands. Never reuse one location's zip or state for a different location.

Inventory type: Read preferences.default_inventory_type from profile ("used" | "new" | "both"; default "used" if not set). Apply as car_type in all lot-scanner and search calls. If the user specifies a different type in their request, override the profile default. Never mix new and used data in the same report section.

Tool routing per location: US: lot-scanner + lot-pricer + search_active_cars. UK: lot-scanner only (comp median inline). Confirm: "Running daily briefing for: [location name(s)] | Inventory: [used/new/both]"

Group Rollup Section (appended after all per-location briefings)

GROUP DAILY ROLLUP — [Group Name] ([N] locations)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Location         | Aged Units | Competitor Alerts | Floor Plan Burn | Top Action
-----------------|-----------|------------------|-----------------|----------
[Location 1]     | XX        | X                | $XXX/day        | [action]
[Location 2]     | XX        | X                | $XXX/day        | [action]
...

GROUP TOTAL: XX aged units | $X,XXX/day floor plan burn

Execution: Multi-Agent Orchestration

Wave 1 — Launch Simultaneously

Launch the lot-scanner agent AND start the competitor scan at the same time.

Agent A: lot-scanner (aging filter)

Use the Agent tool to spawn the dealership-group:lot-scanner agent with this prompt:

Pull aging inventory for dealer_id=[dealer_id], country=[country], car_type=used, sort_by=dom, sort_order=desc, dom_range=[aging_threshold]-999. Paginate through all results. Return every vehicle with VIN, year, make, model, trim, listed price, mileage, DOM.

Inline: Competitor Price Drop Scan (runs while lot-scanner works)

While waiting for the lot-scanner agent, run the competitor scan directly:

US dealers:

For each brand in franchise_brands (or top 3 makes from the location's brand mix if independent):

Call mcp__marketcheck__search_active_cars with:

• make: the brand
• zip: location's ZIP
• radius: from preferences
• price_change: negative
• sort_by: price
• sort_order: asc
• rows: 10
• car_type: used
• seller_type: dealer

→ Extract only: per listing — price, price_change, dealer_name, make, model, DOM. Discard full response.

From results:

• Group by dealer — dealers with 3+ drops signal inventory pressure
• Flag UNDERCUT alerts: competitor units now priced below the location's equivalent

UK dealers:

Call mcp__marketcheck__search_uk_active_cars with similar filters. If price_change is not supported, skip and note: "Competitor price tracking not available for UK market."

Wave 2 — After Lot Scanner Completes

Once lot-scanner returns the aging units:

Agent B: lot-pricer (US only)

Use the Agent tool to spawn the dealership-group:lot-pricer agent with this prompt:

Price these aging vehicles: [pass the vehicle list from lot-scanner, up to top 15 by DOM]. zip=[zip], dealer_type=[dealer_type], floor_plan_per_day=[floor_plan_per_day], aging_threshold=[aging_threshold].

UK dealers: Instead of lot-pricer, price each aged unit inline by searching 10 comparable listings and calculating comp median.

Assembly — Combine Results

Combine lot-pricer output + competitor scan results into the daily briefing.

Output

Present: briefing headline with date and location, aging inventory table (VIN, YMMT, DOM, price, market price, gap), competitor alert table (model, dealer, price, gap), floor plan burn total, and top 3 actionable recommendations with dollar impact. If all clear, state so with inventory health summary.
