Meeting Prep
Gathers cross-channel context before any meeting so you walk in fully prepared. Works for person-based prep (1:1s) and topic-based prep (product syncs, reviews).
When to Activate
- User says "meeting prep", "prep for my meeting with X", "prep for 1:1"
- User provides a person name or meeting topic to prepare for
- User says "what should I discuss with X?"
Input
The user provides ONE of:
- Person name: e.g., "Sarah Chen", "Marco", "the CTO"
- Topic/meeting name: e.g., "Q3 planning", "API migration review"
- Calendar event: a specific meeting from today's calendar
If no input, check Google Calendar MCP for the next upcoming meeting and prep for that.
Execution
Context Check
Before gathering, read context/company.md and context/personas.md if they exist. Use for framing output. After completing the briefing, offer to update context files with any new knowledge about people, projects, or company priorities discovered during research.
Step 0: Resolve Target
- Person name given: use as search target across all sources.
- Topic given: use as search query.
- No input: fetch next meeting from Google Calendar, extract attendees and title.
Step 0.5: Org-Survival + People File Check (Person-Based Only)
Before gathering from external sources, read two local files:
-
memory/org-survival.md — Check if person has an entry. Extract: what they want, risks they carry, recommended approach. Surface as Political Context block (2–3 lines max). Skip silently if not found.
-
memory/people/{name}.md — Check for accumulated meeting history with this person. Extract: prior commitments they made (were they fulfilled?), communication style, known preferences. Fold into Their Current Focus and Suggested Talking Points.
This is the highest-signal step — it's the context no live API can replicate.
Step 1: Parallel Data Gathering (Fan-Out)
Launch parallel searches across all connected MCP sources.
For person-based prep:
| Source | Query | Extract |
|---|
| Google Calendar | Events with person in last 14 days | Meeting history, upcoming meetings |
| Jira | assignee = "{person}" OR reporter = "{person}" AND updated >= -14d | Active issues, recent updates |
| Slack | Search messages mentioning person | Recent conversations, open threads |
| Confluence | contributor = "{person}" AND lastModified > now("-14d") | Pages they edited recently |
| GitHub | PRs by author, issues assigned | Recent code activity |
| Gmail | Threads with person | Email conversations |
For topic-based prep:
| Source | Query | Extract |
|---|
| Jira | text ~ "{topic}" AND updated >= -30d | Related tickets, status |
| Slack | Search channels and threads for topic | Recent discussions, decisions |
| Confluence | text ~ "{topic}" AND lastModified > now("-30d") | Specs, RFCs, documentation |
| GitHub | Search issues and PRs mentioning topic | Code changes, open PRs |
| Gmail | Search threads for topic | Email discussions |
Step 2: Synthesize Prep Doc
Merge all results into the output format below. Deduplicate across sources. Prioritize recent items.
Output Format
Output directly in conversation (do NOT create a file unless asked):
# Meeting Prep: {Person or Topic}
**For:** {Meeting name if known} | **When:** {Time if known}
## Political Context _(person-based, if found in org-survival.md)_
- {What they want from this interaction}
- {Any risk or tension to navigate}
- {Recommended framing or approach}
## Last 3 Interactions
1. **{Date}** ({source}): {1-2 sentence summary}
2. **{Date}** ({source}): {1-2 sentence summary}
3. **{Date}** ({source}): {1-2 sentence summary}
## They're Waiting On You
- {Action item you owe them, with source}
(If none found: "Nothing outstanding found.")
## You're Waiting On Them
- {Action item they owe you, with source}
(If none found: "Nothing outstanding found.")
## Their Current Focus
- {What they're working on based on Jira/GitHub/Slack}
## Open Threads
- {Unresolved Slack threads or email chains}
- {Blocked Jira issues}
## Suggested Talking Points
1. {Based on open items and recent activity}
2. {Based on unresolved threads}
3. {Based on upcoming deadlines or decisions}
Rules
- Recency bias: Prefer last 14 days for people, last 30 days for topics.
- No speculation: Only include items found in actual sources. Skip empty sections.
- Cite sources: Always note where information came from.
- Keep it scannable: Readable in 2 minutes before a meeting.
- Respect privacy: Only include conversations where the user is a participant.
Fallback
If MCP tools are unavailable:
- Note which sources were unreachable.
- Produce the prep doc with whatever was found.
- Suggest the user check those sources manually.
