Automates pre-meeting research, agenda creation, and post-meeting action tracking. Designed for finance professionals, client advisors, and operations leads who need to show up prepared every time.

When to Use

Fire this skill when:

• Irfan has an upcoming client meeting and needs a brief
• Preparing for board, investor, or lender presentations
• Vendor or contract negotiations require background research
• Internal team reviews need structured agendas
• Post-meeting — capturing decisions and action items while context is fresh

Do NOT use when:

• Scheduling or rescheduling meetings (use calendar tools)
• Recurring standups with no variable agenda
• Meetings where purpose and participants are completely unknown (need at least a name and topic)
• Real-time meeting facilitation or live note-taking (this is async prep, not live tooling)

Usage Examples

Example 1: Client Financial Review Meeting

Trigger: "Prep me for Tuesday's meeting with Apex Roofing — Q1 financial review."

Agent actions:

1. Research Apex Roofing (industry, size, recent news)
2. Pull any prior invoices, communications, or notes from memory/files
3. Generate 1-page brief with company snapshot + relationship history
4. Draft agenda: Q1 P&L walkthrough → budget vs. actuals → Q2 projections → questions
5. Create talking points for each section with anticipated CFO-level questions
6. Flag any overdue AR or open compliance items as risk flags

Output: PDF-ready brief + agenda in memory/meeting-prep/YYYY-MM-DD-apex-roofing.md

Example 2: Vendor Contract Negotiation

Trigger: "Prep for Thursday's negotiation with SaaS vendor over annual contract renewal."

Agent actions:

1. Research vendor (market position, competitor alternatives, pricing benchmarks)
2. Pull current contract terms from memory or files
3. Identify leverage points (renewal timing, usage data, alternatives available)
4. Draft negotiation agenda: current terms review → pain points → desired terms → fallback positions
5. Talking points with BATNA (Best Alternative to Negotiated Agreement) framing

---

Example 3: Post-Meeting Debrief

Trigger: "We just finished the call with John Smith. Here's what happened: [notes dump]."

Agent actions:

1. Parse raw notes into structured format
2. Extract and classify: decisions, action items, open items
3. Assign owners and due dates based on context
4. Draft follow-up email copy for Irfan's review (not sent — for approval)
5. Update memory file with relationship context

Output Files

Save all prep materials to:

memory/meeting-prep/YYYY-MM-DD-[company-slug].md

For recurring clients, maintain a running log:

memory/clients/[company-slug]/meeting-log.md

---

Integration Points

• Calendar: Read upcoming meetings from gog (Google Calendar) to proactively trigger prep
• CRM/Notes: Pull prior client context from memory files or Obsidian
• Financial data: Reference AR aging, invoice history, budget files
• Web research: Use web_search for recent news on company/participants
• Email: Draft follow-up emails for Irfan's review (never send without approval)

---

Proactive Mode

When integrated with heartbeat:

• Each morning, check calendar for meetings in next 24 hours
• For any meeting >30 min with named participants, auto-generate brief and flag in heartbeat summary
• Alert format: "📋 Meeting prep ready: Apex Roofing (2 PM today) — brief in memory/meeting-prep/"

---

Quality Standards

• All research must cite source or note "from memory files" vs "web research"
• Talking points should be crisp — one key message per topic, not a wall of text
• Action items must have owner + due date — unassigned tasks don't get done
• Risk flags are mandatory if any AR, compliance, or relationship issues exist
• Never fabricate contact info, financial figures, or company details — flag as "needs verification" if uncertain

---

Privacy Rules

• Meeting briefs may contain sensitive client data — never share externally
• Post-meeting summaries go to memory files only, not external channels
• If asked to share a brief with a third party, escalate to Irfan
