## What it does

The skill pulls external calls scheduled across the next seven days via the `~~calendar` connector. If no calendar is connected, it asks you to list meetings directly. Internal one-on-ones and recurring team syncs get filtered out automatically. Before starting research, the agent presents the list of calls for confirmation so it avoids analyzing cancelled appointments.

For confirmed meetings, it pulls profiles on companies and participants using Common Room alongside `account-research` and `contact-research` skills. It runs a quick web search restricted to the past seven days to highlight recent funding announcements or executive changes. When Common Room returns minimal details on an account, the skill marks the entry and falls back to web findings instead of fabricating facts.

The final summary is sorted chronologically and opens with high-level flags: renewal risks, expiring trials, and meetings requiring leadership attendance. Without Common Room access and a connected calendar, you will have to enter call details manually and rely solely on open web searches.

# Weekly Prep Brief

Generate a single comprehensive weekly briefing that covers every external customer or prospect call in the next 7 days, with per-meeting account and contact research from Common Room.

## Briefing Process

### Step 1: Get the Week's External Meetings

**Option A — Calendar connected:**
Use the `~~calendar` connector to fetch all meetings scheduled in the next 7 days (or a user-specified range). Filter to keep only external meetings — those with attendees from outside your organization. Discard internal-only meetings, one-on-ones with colleagues, and recurring internal syncs.

Identify for each external meeting:
- Company name
- Meeting date and time
- External attendee names and email addresses

**Option B — No calendar connected:**
Ask the user: "To build your weekly prep brief, I'll need your upcoming external calls. Please list them: company name, date/time, and attendee names."

Accept freeform input and parse it into a structured list before proceeding.

### Step 2: Confirm the Meeting List

Present the identified meetings to the user for confirmation before beginning research:

> "Here are the external calls I found for this week. Let me know if anything's missing or should be excluded:
> - [Company] — [Day], [Time] — [Attendees]
> - ..."

This prevents wasted research on cancelled or incorrect meetings.

### Step 3: Research Each Meeting

For each confirmed external meeting, run in parallel where possible:
1. **Account research** — full account snapshot using the account-research skill
2. **Contact research** — profile for each external attendee using the contact-research skill

Common Room data is the primary source. After CR research, run a quick **recency check** for each company — this is supplementary, not primary:
- Search `"[company name]" news` scoped to the last 7 days
- For executive attendees, search their name for recent public posts or interviews
- Only include findings that are genuinely noteworthy (funding, leadership changes, major press). Don't pad the brief with generic news.
