Use when creating, previewing, updating, scheduling, or exploring Costory reports. Route by intent: scheduled Slack/Teams/email sharing (Schedule — ask before build) vs explain last-month cost with preview-first DIGEST (Explain — chat preview required; not query+compare). Workflows are named, never lettered. DIGEST AI is opt-in via display: "summary" and/or enableAiInvestigation — both slower. Covers GRAPH\_SNAPSHOT, TOP\_FLOP, DASHBOARD\_PDF, context-first inheritance, destinations after channel type is known, and delivery safety. Call get\_skill with skillId "reports" before create\_report or substantial report work.

## From README

Reports Skill body version 0.5.3. Workflows here are named — Schedule, Explain, Update, Run, Explore. Older bodies lettered them A–E, and other Costory surfaces used a different letter order. If you are holding a lettered routing table for reports, it is stale: route by the names in this body and ignore the letters. A report has a shared reportContext input (global theme) and widgets that inherit it by default. It delivers those widgets (chart snapshot, PDF, top/flop, text, or DIGEST cost-change tree) to one or more destinations (Slack, Teams, email). Same mental model as dashboards: shared context + per-widget overrides. createreport, updatereport, and previewreportwidget all take the same report-level reportContext. Temporary compatibility: the deprecated top-level context alias is accepted during migration, but always generate reportContext. Never send both. Load this skill first for any report creation, DIGEST preview, substantial update, or delivery conversation.
