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
bashVAULT="${VAULT_PATH:-/root/obsidian-vault}" NAME="[PARTICIPANT_NAME]" COMPANY="[COMPANY_NAME]" echo "=== VAULT CONTEXT ===" grep -rl "$NAME\|$COMPANY" "$VAULT" \ --include="*.md" \ -not -path "*/.git/*" \ -not -path "*/.obsidian/*" \ | head -10 | while read f; do echo "--- ${f##$VAULT/} ---" grep -n "$NAME\|$COMPANY" "$f" | head -5 done
Step 2 — Prior Meeting Notes
bashVAULT="${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 "$f" done
Step 3 — Open Commitments Check
bashVAULT="${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] --- WHY THIS MEETING MATTERS [1-2 sentences on stakes, objective, desired outcome] 3 PRIORITIES FOR THIS CALL 1. [Priority 1] 2. [Priority 2] 3. [Priority 3] CONTEXT FROM VAULT [Pulled notes, open items, prior commitments — or "No prior history found"] QUESTIONS TO ASK 1. [Question referencing research] 2. [Question] 3. [Question] 4. [Question] 5. [Question] WATCH FOR [Known objections, sensitivities, open loops] DESIRED OUTCOME [What does success look like in one sentence?] NEXT STEP TO PROPOSE [Specific: "schedule X," "send Y," "agree on Z"]
Then: Save brief to bambf/meeting-prep/YYYY-MM-DD-[lastname]-prep.md
Then: Print 3-line summary:
WHO: [Name], [role] at [company] WHY IT MATTERS: [1 sentence] TOP QUESTION: [The single sharpest question to ask]
