Imposter Smasher for Events and Meetings

Prepare a user for an upcoming meeting or event by listing next-day calendar events, prompting for a selection, researching the topic and participants, producing an executive summary, and generating a fully produced 3-5 minute audio briefing. Use when the user asks to prep for meetings, get ready for an event, research attendees before a call, or receive an audio meeting brief.

Imposter Smasher

Purpose

Imposter Smasher is an orchestrator skill for high-stakes meeting prep. It compiles next-day meetings, lets the user pick one, researches the topic and participants with credible sources, then delivers:

1. A concise executive summary.
2. A fully produced 3-5 minute audio briefing.

Use This Skill When

• The user wants prep for a meeting happening tomorrow.
• The user wants a confidence-boosting brief before a customer, investor, executive, or partner call.
• The user wants both text and audio output.

Hard Dependencies

• Calendar access (to list and inspect next-day events).
• Web research via Contextual.ai.
• Audio generation via ElevenLabs or Chatterbox.

Out Of Scope

• Sending emails/messages on behalf of the user.
• Booking, modifying, or cancelling meetings.
• Unsupported speculation or rumor-based profiling.
• Long dossiers beyond prep needs.
• Live in-meeting copilot behavior.
• Research that cannot be grounded in credible sources.

Inputs To Collect

• Timezone (if unclear).
• Target date (default: next day in user timezone).
• Preferred audio engine (ElevenLabs or Chatterbox).
• Optional persona/tone for briefing voice.

Orchestration Workflow

1. Fetch next-day calendar events.
2. Present a numbered shortlist with title, start time, organizer, and attendees.
3. Ask user to choose one event.
4. Extract research targets:
   • Meeting topic and company/domain context.
   • Participants and their roles.
   • Strategic risks, opportunities, and likely questions.
5. Delegate specialized subtasks where possible:
   • Calendar retrieval/parsing to calendar-capable tooling.
   • Web research and source collection to Contextual.ai.
   • Audio rendering to ElevenLabs/Chatterbox integration.
6. Synthesize an executive summary using references/executive-summary-template.md.
7. Build final audio script with references/audio-brief-template.md.
8. Generate a produced 3-5 minute audio file and return artifact paths/links.
9. Return concise prep package:
   • Executive summary.
   • Top participant notes.
   • Risks/questions checklist.
   • Audio file location and duration.

Quality Bar

• Cite only credible, attributable sources.
• Distinguish facts vs inferences.
• Keep briefing actionable and concise.
• Target spoken runtime between 180 and 300 seconds.
• If evidence is weak, explicitly say so and reduce confidence.

Failure Handling

• If no calendar access: ask for pasted event details and continue.
• If research fails: provide a minimal brief with explicit gaps and retry options.
• If audio generation fails: provide final narration script and engine-specific retry command.
