| description | Builds a one-page HTML "Morning People Pulse" dashboard for a people manager using live Workday
data: who is out today, pending Workday inbox tasks, learning overdue, goals at risk, and team
calendar for the next two weeks. Use when the user asks for a "morning people pulse",
"manager start-of-day briefing", "what does my team look like today", "Workday inbox snapshot",
or "team out today".

Morning People Pulse Dashboard
What This Skill Does
Produces an at-a-glance HTML dashboard a people manager can open at the start of the day to see
the state of their team — absences today, Workday inbox load, learning compliance gaps, and goals
that need attention. Designed to be scheduled (e.g. 07:30 daily) and rendered inline, in Loop, or
as an emailed snapshot.
When To Use
- "Run my morning people pulse"
- "What does my team look like today"
- "Brief me before standup"
- "Manager dashboard for today"
Do not use for performance review prep (use team-performance-review-pack) or for a Teams chat
post (use weekly-team-update-card).
Required Connector Tools
get_worker — current worker (the manager)get_direct_reports — team rosterget_team_calendar — who is out today / this weekget_team_overview — headcount, role mix, key datesget_team_performance_summary — pending inbox + absence overviewget_inbox_tasks — manager's own pending tasksget_team_goals — team goal statusget_learning_records — learning compliance lookups (per direct report)
If none are available, stop and report the connector binding issue. Never invent team data.
Default Workflow
- Call
get_worker and get_direct_reports to establish team context. State the manager and team
name on the dashboard header.
- In parallel, pull
get_team_calendar, get_team_overview, get_team_performance_summary,
get_inbox_tasks, and get_team_goals.
- Compute KPIs:
- Out today (count + names).
- Out this week (count, peak day).
- Manager inbox tasks: pending count, oldest age in days.
- Goals at risk: goals with status "At Risk" or "Overdue".
- Learning overdue: count of direct reports with overdue required learning.
- Render the HTML dashboard following the template below.
- Above the HTML, output 3–5 markdown bullets titled "For your standup" — one specific item
per bullet (a name + an action), never generic advice.

Rules
- Show "out today" only when at least one report is on time off intersecting today's date in the
manager's stated timezone (default UTC).
- "Goals at risk" = explicit Workday status
At Risk OR Overdue. Never infer from due dates
alone.
- "Learning overdue" = any required learning whose due date is past today.
- Never include sensitive notes from inbox task descriptions; show only subject and short type.
Tone
Operational and warm, not corporate-formal. This is a manager's at-a-glance tool.
