name: pre-call-brief
description: Generate a pre-call brief for upcoming meetings — who the attendee is, your history with them, their likely agenda, risks to watch for, and a suggested opening line. Use this skill whenever the user asks "what's my next meeting", "who am I talking to today", "prep me for my call", "brief me before my meeting", "what do I know about [person] before our call", "upcoming meeting prep", or anything that implies they want context before a meeting or call. Also trigger when someone says "I have a call in 30 minutes" or "what should I know before talking to [name]". Requires Unabyss MCP. Web search is used as fallback for unknown contacts.

# Pre-Call Brief

For each upcoming meeting with external attendees, produce a concise brief the founder can read in under a minute.

> **Note:** This skill is well-suited for automation (e.g. polling calendar every 15 min and pushing briefs to Slack). The research logic is the same whether run manually or by an agent.

## Required Integrations

This skill uses **Unabyss MCP** — `query` for upcoming meetings and known contacts, `agentic_query` for deeper history.

> If Unabyss is not connected, tell the user: "This skill requires Unabyss MCP. You can connect it from the Tools menu."

## How to Run

### Step 1 — Fetch upcoming meetings from Unabyss

Use `query` to pull today's calendar context:

```
What meetings do I have today or coming up soon? Who are the external attendees — names, companies, email domains?
```

Filter to events with at least one external attendee. Extract: event title, start time, external attendee name + company/domain.

If no qualifying meetings are found: "No upcoming external meetings found."

### Step 2 — Check for prior context with `query`

For each external attendee, run a fast `query`:

```
Do I have any previous context about [Attendee Name] or [attendee-domain.com]?
```

- **KNOWN** — specific information exists → proceed to Step 3a
- **UNKNOWN** — empty or vague → proceed to Step 3b

### Step 3a — KNOWN: Deep history with `agentic_query`

```
Give me the full history with [Attendee Name] and [attendee-domain.com] — all interactions, ongoing projects, commitments made, open threads, anything unresolved.
```

### Step 3b — UNKNOWN: Web search

Search for `[attendee name] [company]` and `[domain] company` — what the company does, their role, anything publicly notable.

### Step 4 — Synthesize the brief

---

**Pre-Call Brief**
**[Event Title]** · [Start Time]
**With:** [Attendee Name], [Company / Domain]

**1. Who they are**
One sentence — role, company, what they do.

**2. Our history**
Past interactions, commitments, last touchpoint. If first contact: *First contact — no prior history.*

**3. Their likely agenda**
What they probably want from this call based on context.

**4. Watch out for**
Open commitments, tensions, or anything that could come up unexpectedly. Omit if nothing relevant.

**5. Suggested opening line**
One specific, concrete sentence to open — not generic.

## Output Rules

- Use `query` before `agentic_query` — only escalate if prior context warrants deeper research
- Never guess if the attendee is unknown — say so clearly
- Keep each brief under 200 words
- Multiple meetings get one brief each, separated by a divider
