Do not proceed until you have these values.
Debug Logging (MANDATORY)
Read ../config/DEBUG_LOGGING.md for the full convention. Use python3 {user.workspace}/scripts/skill_log.py meeting-prep <level> "<message>" ['<details>'] at every key step. Log BEFORE and AFTER every external call (gog, mcporter, Granola, web search). On any error, log the full command and stderr before continuing.
Scope
Timezone: {user.timezone}
Calendars: primary of {user.primary_email} AND {user.work_email}
Today's meetings only
Timezone note: Use explicit ART-bounded ISO8601 timestamps for calendar queries, NOT --date. Example: gog calendar list primary --account <email> --from "2026-03-03T00:00:00-03:00" --to "2026-03-04T00:00:00-03:00" --json. The --date flag uses UTC boundaries which misaligns with ART.
ALL meetings with attendees — both external and internal
Skip personal/solo events with no attendees (e.g. "Personal Trainer", "Golf", all-day reminders)
Meeting types
External meetings (attendees outside your email domains)
Full research brief (email context, Granola, LinkedIn, company research) — see below.
Internal meetings (all attendees from your email domains: hypergrowthpartners.com, growth.li)
Lighter brief — no LinkedIn/company research needed, but still include:
Attendee list
Granola context from previous instances of this recurring meeting
Recent email threads related to the meeting topic/agenda
Any open action items from last time
Format: same structure but skip LinkedIn/company sections
Recurring collaborative meetings (e.g. podcasts, content sessions with external co-hosts)
These are external meetings — give them full briefs. Don't skip recurring meetings just because they're familiar.
Error handling
If gog calendar fails for one account: continue with the other account, note "⚠️ [account] calendar unavailable" in output.
If Granola/Grain fails: continue without meeting history, note it per meeting.
If WhatsApp delivery fails: attempt Slack delivery. If both fail, save to state file and report error.
For each meeting
1. Event basics
Title, local time ({user.timezone}), attendees.
RSVP status (MANDATORY): For each attendee, check responseStatus from the calendar event:
accepted → no flag needed
needsAction → flag as "⚠️ hasn't responded"
declined → flag as "❌ declined"
tentative → flag as "❓ tentative"
If ANY non-organizer external attendee has NOT accepted (needsAction, tentative, or declined), add a visible line in the brief:
⚠️ RSVP: hasn't accepted yet
This is informational — it doesn't mean they won't join, but it's useful to know ahead of time, especially for first calls or important meetings.
2. Email context (90-day lookback, with historical fallback)
Search Gmail both accounts for exchanges with attendees. For EACH attendee, search using these strategies in order:
Email address (primary — from calendar invite): from:<email> OR to:<email>
Full name: "firstname lastname"
First name + "intro": "intro firstname" (catches informal intro subjects)
First name + company: "firstname companyname"
The attendee's email from the calendar invite is the most reliable identifier — always start there.
Intro discovery (after general email search):
5. Search for intro emails involving the attendee: subject:intro <email>, subject:intro <firstname>, subject:introduction <email>
6. Also check threads where a third party CC'd/introduced the attendee
Recent email context (after intro discovery):
7. Pull the most recent email threads with this attendee (by email address) to surface any recent updates, asks, or context leading into today's call
Historical fallback (if no results from 90-day search):
8. Run a broader search with NO date filter: from:<email> OR to:<email> — this catches long-standing relationships where the last email was months/years ago. If older threads exist, this is NOT a first call — note the relationship history.
First call vs follow-up? Base this on ALL email history found (including historical), not just 90-day window
If first call: MUST include "who introduced + when" (date) if found in email; if not found, explicitly say "No intro trail found in email"
If follow-up: extract updates since last call
If email contains a concrete commercial trigger (pricing, deliverables, scope, budget, urgency, timeline, decision-maker request), include it explicitly in the brief
3. Granola context
Search by ATTENDEE, not by meeting title. The same recurring meeting may have different titles week to week. Always search by the attendee's name or email to find all past meetings with them.
# Primary: search by attendee name
mcporter call granola.query_granola_meetings query="meetings with [attendee full name]"# Fallback: search by company if attendee name yields no results
mcporter call granola.query_granola_meetings query="meetings with [company name]"
Cross-check with list_meetings: If the query results seem stale (oldest match is weeks old but you expect more recent), also run list_meetings for last_week or this_week and scan the participant lists for the attendee's email or name. This catches meetings where the title doesn't mention the attendee or company.
Recent (< 3 weeks): Provide a richer summary (not one-liner): decisions made, key tensions, explicit action items, owners, and unresolved questions
No attendee match but company match exists: Use company-level context and label it clearly as company-level
No results / first meeting: Note that, provide email context instead
Preserve citation links [[N]](url)
Include a short explicit line: "Why this meeting now" based on prior action items or current email trigger
Exact name matching: When attributing Granola results to an attendee, verify BOTH first AND last name match exactly. Different people can share a first name — never assume a match based on first name alone.
Auth failure: If Granola returns an auth error, run mcporter auth granola --reset and retry once. If still failing, note "⚠️ Granola unavailable" and continue without it.
Empty summary: If Granola returns a meeting record but with no/empty summary, note "Previous meeting found but no summary available" — don't silently skip it.
4. LinkedIn research
Search: "[attendee name] [company] LinkedIn"
Extract: current role, background, recent posts/activity
Extract: company stage, announcements, what they do
Research rules
Read {user.workspace}/style/MEETING_PREP_RULES.md for additional research steps.
Output format
Send via WhatsApp ({user.whatsapp}) AND Slack (DM to {user.slack_username}). One message per meeting, chronological order, is mandatory.
Also send to Chief of Staff: After sending all meeting briefs, upload the markdown brief file ({user.workspace}/state/meeting-prep-YYYY-MM-DD.md) to {user.chief_of_staff.name}'s Slack DM. Use the Slack API files.upload (or files.uploadV2):
Never collapse into a single summary block. The user expects one standalone message per meeting. Send each meeting brief as a separate message to BOTH WhatsApp and Slack. If one channel fails, still deliver to the other.
Start with a short intro: "📋 MEETING PREP — — meetings ( external, internal)"
Then one message per meeting in this format — use bold subsections and blank lines between each section for readability:
*<number>. <Name/Company> — <local time>*
*Who:* <Role>, <Company> (<location>). <What the company does, 1 sentence>. <Funding/stage if relevant>.
*Context:* <First call vs follow-up>. <If first call: who intro'd + when (date); if unavailable: "No intro trail found in email">.
*Email history:* <Key email context — include important commercial/decision triggers when present (pricing, scope, deliverables, urgency, budget, decision-maker request)>.
*Granola:* <Richer recap: key decisions, action items, owners, unresolved questions, and why a follow-up was needed. If no attendee notes, use company-level notes and label it. Or "No previous meetings found in Granola">.
*Why this meeting now:* <One sentence grounded in prior action items and/or current email trigger>.
*Focus areas:* <ONLY items derived from prior action items and current email trigger — not generic strategy prompts>.
*Links:* <LinkedIn, company site, Crunchbase>
Each section on its own paragraph (blank line before each bold label). Keep it concise but well-structured — readability over density.
If a meeting already happened, prefix with ✅ and keep brief.
If there's a schedule conflict, flag with ⚠️.
Save full brief
Save the full detailed brief to {user.workspace}/state/meeting-prep-YYYY-MM-DD.md and also send it as a file attachment via WhatsApp.
⚠️ CRON CREATION (CRITICAL — DO NOT SKIP)
This section is NON-OPTIONAL. Cron creation MUST happen for every run with meetings. If you run out of context or time before completing this section, the entire run is a FAILURE.
Execution order: Create ALL crons IMMEDIATELY after saving the brief file — BEFORE the assertions step. Do not defer cron creation to "after everything else."
Log: python3 {user.workspace}/scripts/skill_log.py meeting-prep INFO "Starting cron creation for N meetings"
Pre-meeting reminders
After generating all briefs, create a one-shot cron job for EACH meeting that fires 5 minutes before start time. The cron job should:
Resend the FULL formatted brief for that meeting (same format as the original WhatsApp message — bold subsection labels, blank lines, links, etc.)
Prefix with "⏰ 5 min reminder\n\n" then the full brief
Hard formatting contract (no exceptions):
The reminder body must be copied verbatim from {user.workspace}/state/meeting-prep-YYYY-MM-DD.md for that meeting block.
Do NOT rewrite, summarize, translate, normalize, or reformat any part of that block.
Keep language exactly as generated in the source brief.
Only allowed change is adding the ⏰ *5 min reminder* prefix.
Use openclaw cron add with --at set to 5 min before meeting time, --delete-after-run, --no-deliver, --channel whatsapp, and --to {user.whatsapp}. The --no-deliver flag prevents the announce mechanism from sending a separate message — the task sends WhatsApp directly.
Hard requirement: after creating jobs, run openclaw cron list and verify the expected number of pre-meeting- jobs for today. If count is lower than expected, immediately retry creation and report failure explicitly.
Log each created cron: python3 {user.workspace}/scripts/skill_log.py meeting-prep INFO "Created pre-meeting cron" '{"meeting": "<name>", "fires_at": "<time>"}'
Post-meeting action items + drafts
After generating all briefs, create a one-shot cron job for EACH meeting that fires 10 minutes after the meeting END time. The cron task should reference the action-items-todoist skill:
Task: "Read and follow ~/executive-assistant-skills/action-items-todoist/SKILL.md. Process ONLY the meeting titled '' that ended around . Send results to WhatsApp ({user.whatsapp})."
Use openclaw cron add with --at set to 10 min after meeting end time, --delete-after-run, --session isolated, --timeout-seconds 1200, --no-deliver, --channel whatsapp, and --to {user.whatsapp}. Name them post-meeting-<short-name>.
Hard requirement: after creating jobs, run openclaw cron list and verify the expected number of post-meeting- jobs for today. If count is lower than expected, immediately retry creation and report failure explicitly.
Log each created cron: python3 {user.workspace}/scripts/skill_log.py meeting-prep INFO "Created post-meeting cron" '{"meeting": "<name>", "fires_at": "<time>"}'
Log final count: python3 {user.workspace}/scripts/skill_log.py meeting-prep INFO "Cron creation complete" '{"pre_meeting": N, "post_meeting": M, "expected": E}'
If cron count doesn't match expected: Log ERROR and send WhatsApp alert: "⚠️ Meeting prep: only created X/Y pre-meeting and A/B post-meeting crons. Some reminders/action-items may be missing."
Deduplication (MANDATORY)
After processing, the cron MUST append the meeting title to {user.workspace}/state/processed-meetings-YYYY-MM-DD.json (array of meeting titles already processed). This lets the end-of-day catch-all skip them.
Before creating ANY Todoist task, the cron MUST:
Read {user.workspace}/state/processed-meetings-YYYY-MM-DD.json — if this meeting is already listed, SKIP entirely (another cron already handled it)
Fetch all open Todoist tasks and check for duplicates by matching task content against the new task intent (same person + same action = duplicate)
If a matching task already exists, do NOT create a duplicate — skip it silently
This prevents the scenario where a post-meeting cron and the daily end-of-day cron both process the same meeting and create duplicate tasks.
Sanity checks
Calendar is source of truth for meeting count: Cross-reference email threads with the actual calendar events. If an invite was moved/rescheduled, it's still ONE meeting — don't count it as multiple. Check the calendar event ID, not email threads, to determine unique meetings.
First call vs follow-up: Verify by checking if there is an ACTUAL past Granola meeting with this specific person (exact name match). Rescheduled invites or multiple scheduling emails do NOT make it a follow-up. Only a previously held meeting does.
Message count check (MANDATORY): Number of sent meeting-brief messages must equal number of meetings with attendees (external + internal). If not equal, send missing meeting messages immediately.
Cron count check (MANDATORY): Number of pre-meeting- jobs and post-meeting- jobs created for today must each equal number of meetings with attendees (external + internal).
Automated assertions (MANDATORY)
After sending all meeting messages and creating all one-shot jobs, run:
If exit code is non-zero: create missing cron jobs and/or send missing meeting messages, then re-run up to 2 times. If still failing after 2 retries, report the assertion output in your completion note and proceed.
Include the assertion result summary in your final internal completion note.
Meeting type-specific enrichment
Deal flow calls (new companies, potential clients/advisory)
Extract MORE detail from email threads: what the company does, product description, funding status, round size, investors, ARR if mentioned
Search Crunchbase/web for latest funding info if not in emails
Include company stage, team size, and key metrics when available
Investor/VC calls
Include link to the fund's profile page (website, Crunchbase, or AngelList)
Note their investment thesis, typical check size, and stage focus if findable
Helps identify fit before the call
Scheduling difficulty flag
If a meeting took a long time to schedule (intro was weeks/months before the actual meeting), flag it: "⏳ Scheduling note: Intro came in , took <N weeks/months> to get on the books."
If the meeting was rescheduled multiple times, note how many times
This provides useful context on the relationship dynamic and signals the meeting may be higher-stakes
Rules
Executive style, concise
No meetings with attendees today → NO_REPLY
Missing data → state briefly ("No email history found"), don't invent
Never silently omit a data source — if something returned nothing, say so
No cross-contamination: Each meeting brief must only include information verified for THAT specific attendee. Do not mix up intro sources, email threads, or Granola notes between different meetings. Double-check that every fact in a brief belongs to the correct person.
No generic focus areas: Focus must be anchored in (a) explicit prior action items from Granola and/or (b) explicit email trigger for this meeting. If neither exists, say so and use a discovery focus.
