## Description

Interactive meeting preparation, builds a relationship brief and talking points before a call. Use when the user says "prep me for my call with", "I'm meeting with X", "prepare me for", "what should I bring up with", "meeting prep", "get ready for my call", or wants to review history with someone before a meeting.

## Skill Path

Before running helper scripts or opening bundled references, set:

```bash
export MINUTES_SKILLS_ROOT="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.agents/skills/minutes"
export MINUTES_SKILL_ROOT="$MINUTES_SKILLS_ROOT/minutes-prep"
```

# /minutes-prep

Interactive meeting preparation that searches the normal conversation history
authorized by Minutes, synthesizes a relationship brief, and produces talking
points, before you walk into the room. Restricted history is excluded from
this agent workflow by default and must never be treated as absent evidence.

## How it works

This is a multi-phase interactive flow, not a single command. Walk the user through each phase using AskUserQuestion, pushing back on vague answers.

### Phase 0: Calendar auto-detect (optional, runs first)

Before asking who the user is meeting with, check if upcoming meetings are available from any calendar source. Try these in order, use the first that works:

**1. Google Calendar MCP** (best, most Minutes users have Claude + MCP):
If `mcp__claude_ai_Google_Calendar__gcal_list_events` is available, query today's remaining events:
```
gcal_list_events(
  timeMin: "<now ISO, e.g. 2026-03-19T14:00:00>",
  timeMax: "<end of day, e.g. 2026-03-19T23:59:59>",
  condenseEventDetails: false
)
```
Do NOT hardcode a timezone, omit the `timeZone` parameter so the MCP uses the user's calendar default. This returns attendees, event titles, and times. Parse the results to find the next upcoming meeting with other people (skip all-day events and events with no attendees).

**2. `gog` CLI** (if installed):
```bash
gog calendar list --today --json -a <account> 2>/dev/null
```

**3. Apple Calendar (osascript)** (every Mac, zero install):
```bash
osascript -e 'tell application "Calendar" to get {summary, start date} of (every event of every calendar whose start date >= (current date) and start date < ((current date) + 1 * days))'
```

**4. Microsoft 365 / Outlook (`m365` CLI)** (if installed):
