What to Gather
Primary: Deep Context (one call)
Call the memory_deep_context MCP tool with the person's name. This returns everything in one round trip: entity info, all memories, connected entities, temporal items (commitments, observations), and episode history. Use this data for all sections below.
If deep_context is unavailable, fall back to sequential calls: memory_about for the entity, then memory_recall for broader context.
1. Person Context
From memory_deep_context result (or people/[person].md as fallback):
- Role and organization
- Relationship history
- Last contact and topics
- Communication style
- What matters to them
2. Open Items
From the temporal section of deep_context results:
- Commitments to them
- Commitments from them
- Waiting items
3. Recent Context
From the episodes section of deep_context results, plus linked documents.
Also check:
- Last meeting notes (if any)
- Recent email threads (if available)
- Any project/client context
4. Strategic Context
- What's the purpose of this meeting?
- What outcome would be good?
- Any concerns to be aware of?
