Note: These prompts depend only on data available in your Lattice instance.
Basic Prompts
Preparing for conversations:

Example Advanced AI Automation
Monday Manager Briefing
I want a private Monday-morning briefing on my team, assembled automatically.
Tools available: the Lattice MCP, the [messaging app] MCP, and my calendar.
Create a reusable [Claude Skill / Custom GPT] that does the following for me each run:
Identify me in Lattice and pull my direct reports.
For each report, gather signals from the past week:
Lattice Update: their latest submitted weekly update — focus areas, plans, sentiment, and especially anything flagged as a blocker/roadblock
Lattice Goals: their active goals, flagging any that are stale (not updated in 14 days) or off-track (status)
Lattice Feedback: any recognition/praise they received recently
Lattice 1:1s: open action items from my most recent 1:1 with them
Connect to my Calendar to identify the following:
Who's on PTO/OOO this week
My meeting load, especially heavy meeting load days
Scheduled 1:1s
External meetings
Identify time blocks when I can actually get work done!
Synthesize everything into one skimmable briefing, grouped by theme, with each item citing its source.
Then post the briefing to my private [messaging app] channel (a DM to myself or a private channel). This is for my eyes only, so no approval step is needed.
Rules:
Only my direct reports
Only signals from the past week
Every line cites its source
Keep it skimmable — omit empty sections rather than padding
If a data source returns nothing or isn't connected, skip it silently (don't error)
Post only to my private channel — never message my reports or anyone else
(Schedule this to run every Monday at 8:00am in my timezone so the briefing is waiting when I log on.)
