My pipeline this week Read only
Every open deal you own, sorted so the next action is obvious.
Tools it needs

- HubSpot uses: “CRM search (read only)”
- Salesforce uses: “SOQL query (soqlQuery) and SOSL search (find)”

List my open deals in my CRM. For each one: name, stage, amount, close date, days since the last activity, and the next step if one is logged. Show a table sorted by close date. Flag deals with a close date in the past or no next step. End with the total amount for each stage. Read only: don't change anything in my tools.

- Pipedrive uses: “deals”
- Attio uses: “records search (read only)”
Find my open deals where the close date is in the past, or falls in the next [7] days while the deal is still in one of these stages: [stage names]. Show each deal with its stage, amount and close date. If my CRM keeps history of close date changes, tell me how many times each date has moved. If it doesn't, say so. Read only: don't change anything in my tools.
Reality check on my commit deals Read only Uses credits
Test each committed deal against what buyers actually said.

- Your call recorder (any one of)
List my deals in the forecast category [Commit] (or in the stages [stage names]) that close in [this quarter]. For each one, check my call recorder for the most recent buyer conversation. Tell me: did the buyer confirm the timeline, is the decision maker involved, and is a next meeting booked? Mark each deal "supported", "at risk" or "no evidence", and show what you based it on. Before you use Gong, tell me how many lookups you'll run (each may use credits) and wait for my OK. If an answer comes from Gong, it's a summary, not a quote: label it that way, and say which call it came from if Gong shows it. Read only: don't change anything in my tools.

Write my forecast update for my deals in the [Commit] forecast category that close in [this month]. If my CRM has no forecast category, use deals in the stages [stage names] instead. Include: the commit total and each commit deal with its amount, my total open pipeline, commit deals at risk and why, and any close dates, amounts or stages that changed since [the date of my last update], if the CRM shows them. Keep it under 200 words. Use only numbers from my CRM, and list the deals you used. Read only: don't change anything in my tools.

Update next steps and close dates Changes data
Fix the deals you reviewed, after you've checked each change.
Tools it needs
- Your CRM, to update deals (any one of) Changes data
- HubSpot uses: “creates and edits CRM records (contacts, companies, deals, tickets, etc.)”
- Salesforce uses: “creates, updates and deletes Salesforce records (platform/sobject-all server)”
- Pipedrive uses: “creates and updates deals”
- Attio uses: “creates, updates, upserts and merges CRM records”
For the deals we just reviewed, prepare updates to these fields: [for example: next step, close date, stage]. Make a table with the deal, the field, the current value and the new value. Don't change any field I didn't name. Don't delete any records. Show me exactly what you'll change first, and wait for my yes before you change anything.
Check each row: the right deal, the old value and the new value. Stage and close date changes often feed reports and forecasts, so make sure they're real.

Make a short pipeline digest from my CRM for the last [7] days: new deals, deals that moved stage, and deals closed won and lost. Add open deals with no activity in [14] days. Include amounts and links to the records if you have them. Then post it in Slack to [channel name or person]. Show me the exact message and where it will go, and wait for my yes before you post or send anything.
Check the channel or person, and that the numbers match your CRM. Deal amounts may be sensitive, so think about who can read that channel.
