Generate a pre-meeting prep brief in Claude Code. Researches participants, pulls vault context, builds agenda, surfaces sharp questions. Use when user says "prep for this meeting," "I have a call with," "meeting tomorrow with," or "prep brief for [name/company]."
Generate a meeting prep brief from your Obsidian vault. Researches participants, surfaces vault history, builds a prioritized agenda, and generates sharp questions. No autonomy — you run it, you get your brief.
Open Claude Code in your vault directory and say:
Run the Meeting Prep skill. Meeting with [name] from [company]. Type: [sales/WRS/strategy/partnership/interview]. Time: [date/time].
Check that the user has provided:
If meeting type is missing, ask:
What type of meeting is this?
WRS client / Sales / Strategy / Partnership / Interview / Other
Run these steps in order. Capture all output before formatting the brief.
