SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Information about an ongoing matter such as a recruitment process, a deal, or a negotiation is scattered across Gmail threads, calendar events, notes, and call transcripts, making it hard to recall the full picture before a meeting. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-source collection: Gathers all Gmail threads (including sent messages), past and upcoming Google Calendar events, notes from ~/brain and the working directory, and transcripts located via the using-transcripts skill. - Structured brief: Produces a brief with the nearest meeting as headline, sections on people and subject, a dated timeline, gaps, and next steps with a CTA. - Controlled saving: Shows the brief in chat first, then proposes where to save it (a note next to the matter's notes and any tracker like JOBS.md) and writes only after user confirmation. - Use Case: Before a call with a candidate, ask what we know about the company and get a dated timeline from first contact to the next interview, plus open questions. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to brief you on everything known about a specific company, person, or process and when the next meeting is.

Ask for a briefing on the company, person, or process by name. The skill collects Gmail threads, calendar events, notes, and transcripts, then produces a brief with a timeline, gaps, and next steps.

How to prepare for a meeting using emails and calendar history?▼

Request a process briefing before the meeting. It surfaces the nearest upcoming event with date, time, and link as the headline, followed by who the people are, the subject, and a dated timeline from first contact.

Does the briefing include sent emails and past meetings?▼

Yes, it covers all Gmail threads including sent messages and both past and upcoming Google Calendar events. It also searches notes in ~/brain and the working directory, plus transcripts.

Does the briefing skill save files automatically?▼

No, by default the brief is shown in chat only. It proposes a save location such as a note next to the matter's existing notes and any tracker like JOBS.md, then writes only after you confirm.

When does the briefing use web search or transcript summaries?▼

Web search is used only to fill gaps such as identifying who a person is. Transcripts are summarized only when really needed, using the dedicated summarizing-transcript skill.
