Meeting Prep: $MEETING

Execution mode

Run inline in the current conversation by default, so this work can see what the user has already discussed, decided, or settled this session. Do not fork merely because this skill was selected. Only run in the background when the user explicitly asks for a background run or the host has already obtained a specific background-work approval for this run.

Delegated gathering (large-vault scaling)

This skill stays inline as described above: it keeps session awareness, it asks the user the questions, and it owns every interactive step. What it does NOT do inline is the bulk read-gathering, which on a mature vault (hundreds of notes, thousands of indexed messages, a live calendar and multiple integrations) can be large enough to exhaust the main conversation before the useful work starts.

So the gathering phase is delegated to one general-purpose subagent via the Agent tool, using the self-contained prompt in this skill's AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md:

1. Read .agents/skills/meeting-prep/AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md.
2. Substitute its placeholders ({{TARGET_DATE}}, {{MEETING_TITLE}}, {{ATTENDEE_RECORDS}}). {{ATTENDEE_RECORDS}} is the filtered JSON array from the selected invite, preserving name, person_page, email, status, type, and is_current_user for each attendee. For attendees the user supplied manually, use the same fields with unknown values set to null, type set to Person, and is_current_user set to false.
3. Call the Agent tool with subagent_type: "general-purpose", that prompt, and a short description.
4. Present its findings as the prep brief, in the Output Format below.

Spot-check before presenting: the brief names person pages, projects and past meetings. Confirm a sample of those files actually exist before repeating their content to the user, and drop anything you cannot stand behind. A subagent's report is a claim, not evidence.

The subagent inherits MCP connections, runs in its own context, and that context is freed when it completes, so only its findings reach this conversation.
