name	people-sync
description	Pulls a Granola meeting transcript and updates people files with per-person intelligence: what they said, what they pushed back on, what they committed to. Compounds over time — each meeting adds a layer. Triggers on: "sync people", "update people from meeting", "update stakeholders", "/people-sync".

People Sync Skill

Processes a Granola meeting and appends per-person intelligence to people files in memory/people/. Unlike /post-meeting (which is project-focused), this skill is people-focused — it builds stakeholder profiles from real conversations that compound across every session.

When to Activate

• User says /people-sync
• User says "sync people from meeting", "update stakeholder files"
• Naturally chains after /post-meeting for full meeting coverage

People File Location

memory/people/{firstname}-{lastname}.md

Naming: lowercase, hyphens. Example: memory/people/sarah-chen.md

Execution

Step 0: Get the Meeting

1. If user gave a topic/person:
   → mcp__claude_ai_Granola__query_granola_meetings with the search term
   → Pick the most recent match

2. If user gave nothing:
   → mcp__claude_ai_Granola__list_meetings (last 5)
   → Present list, ask user to pick one

3. Once identified:
   → mcp__claude_ai_Granola__get_meeting_transcript for full content

Step 1: Extract Participants

Get all participants from the transcript. For each person (excluding the user themselves):

1. Check if a memory/people/{name}.md file exists
2. Flag unmatched participants — ask if a new file should be created

Step 2: Per-Person Extraction

For each matched participant, extract from transcript:

Signal	What to look for
Positions	Views, preferences, priorities stated clearly
Pushbacks	Disagreements, concerns, hesitation, resistance
Commitments	What they said they'd do, by when
Questions asked	Reveals what they care about or what's unclear to them
Communication style	Terse? Verbose? Direct? Diplomatic? (only note if new/notable)

Attribution rules:

• Only record things clearly attributable to the person
• If ambiguous, skip — false intelligence is worse than no intelligence
• Granola's action_items can supplement but always verify against full transcript

Step 3: Read Existing File

Before appending, read the existing people file to:

• Avoid duplicating already-captured information
• Check if prior commitments from past meetings were fulfilled

Step 4: Append Meeting Entry

Append to ## Meeting History section (create it if absent):

## Meeting History

### {Meeting Title} — {YYYY-MM-DD}

**Positions:** {what they advocated for}
**Pushbacks:** {concerns or resistance raised}
**Commitments:** {what they said they'd do, with dates if mentioned}
**Style note:** {optional — only if something new/notable}

Omit any line with nothing to record. Don't write "Pushbacks: none."

Commitment tracking: If a prior commitment appears unresolved, note it:

⚠️ Unresolved from {prior date}: "{commitment}" — not mentioned in this meeting

Step 5: New Person File

If creating a new file for an unmatched participant:

---
name: {Full Name}
role: {Title / Company / Relationship}
---

{Full Name} — {role, relationship to user}.

{2-3 sentences of context: what they own, what their priorities are}

**How to work with them:** {key insight for future interactions}

## Meeting History

### {Meeting Title} — {YYYY-MM-DD}

{first entry}

Step 6: Report Back

✅ Updated {N} people files from "{Meeting Title}" ({date})

→ Sarah Chen: 1 commitment (share specs by Friday), pushed back on timeline
→ Marco Vidal: asked about pricing model — reveals cost sensitivity
→ Nina Johansson: quiet — no strong signals

⚠️ 1 unmatched participant: "Jordan K" — create a new file?

Rules

• Append-only: Never overwrite past entries. Add, don't replace.
• Commitment tracking is the compounding value: Flag unresolved past commitments.
• Quality over quantity: 3 accurate signals beat 10 vague ones.

Chaining with /post-meeting

Run both after any significant meeting:

• /post-meeting → updates what happened to the project
• /people-sync → updates what you learned about the people
