Is this really free?
Yes. The skill is free and open source, MIT licensed. The format came out of a brief we were already sending internally.
Do I need the TrackIQ MCP?
It is built for it — the MCP is what makes the brief automatic. Without it the skill asks you to paste yesterday’s spend, sales, orders, ACOS and rank figures and builds from those, omitting anything you can’t supply rather than estimating it. That works fine to see the format; doing it by hand every morning is the part that gets skipped, which is exactly what connecting the data removes.
What does it actually produce?
One self-contained .html email — table-based, inline-styled, no build step — that renders in Outlook and Apple Mail. It comes back in the chat first, every time.
Can I change the voice, sections or colours?
Yes, and they’re separate files so you don’t touch the skill: voice.md for tone, structure.md for section order, tokens.md for colours and type, template.html for the shell itself.
Where does the finished email go?
In-chat by default. It can also save to a file, post to Slack, POST to an n8n webhook or hand off to your mail tool. Anything that publishes outside the chat shows you the channel or recipient and waits for your yes.
Is my data sent to TrackIQ?
Only if you connect the MCP, which reads your Amazon account through TrackIQ. Figures you paste in by hand stay inside your own Claude or ChatGPT.
