# Meeting Prep (Claude Code Edition)
Generate a meeting prep brief from your Obsidian vault. Researches participants, surfaces vault history, builds a prioritized agenda, and generates sharp questions. No autonomy — you run it, you get your brief.
---
## How to Use
Open Claude Code in your vault directory and say:
```
Run the Meeting Prep skill. Meeting with [name] from [company]. Type: [sales/WRS/strategy/partnership/interview]. Time: [date/time].
```
---
## INTAKE
Check that the user has provided:
- Participant name(s) and company
- Meeting type (WRS / Sales / Strategy / Partnership / Interview / Other)
- Meeting time/date
- Optional: prior notes, last meeting summary
If meeting type is missing, ask:
```
What type of meeting is this?
WRS client / Sales / Strategy / Partnership / Interview / Other
```
---
## ANALYZE
Run these steps in order. Capture all output before formatting the brief.
### Step 1 — Vault Search
```bash
VAULT="${VAULT_PATH:-/root/obsidian-vault}"
NAME="[PARTICIPANT_NAME]"
COMPANY="[COMPANY_NAME]"
echo "=== VAULT CONTEXT ==="
grep -rl "$NAME\|$COMPANY" "$VAULT" \
--include="*.md" \
-not -path "*/.git/*" \
-not -path "*/.obsidian/*" \
| head -10 | while read f; do
echo "--- ${f##$VAULT/} ---"
grep -n "$NAME\|$COMPANY" "$f" | head -5
done
```
### Step 2 — Prior Meeting Notes
```bash
VAULT="${VAULT_PATH:-/root/obsidian-vault}"
find "$VAULT/bambf/meeting-prep" -name "*.md" 2>/dev/null \
| xargs grep -l "$NAME\|$COMPANY" 2>/dev/null \
| sort -r | head -3 | while read f; do
echo "--- Prior brief: ${f##$VAULT/} ---"
head -30 "$f"
done
```
### Step 3 — Open Commitments Check
```bash
VAULT="${VAULT_PATH:-/root/obsidian-vault}"
grep -rn "TODO\|action item\|follow up\|promised" "$VAULT" \
--include="*.md" \
-l 2>/dev/null \
| xargs grep -l "$NAME\|$COMPANY" 2>/dev/null \
| head -5 | while read f; do
echo "--- ${f##$VAULT/} ---"
grep -n "TODO\|action item\|follow up\|promised" "$f" | grep -i "$NAME\|$COMPANY" | head -5
done
```
---
## OUTPUT
Format the brief using this structure (see `references/brief-template.md`):
```
# Meeting Prep: [Name] | [Date] [Time]
Meeting type: [type]
Their role: [role at company]
Relationship stage: [new / existing / lapsed]
