AutoGineer summary
Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author
The weekly-prep-brief skill streamlines meeting preparation by compiling a structured, scannable document for all external calls scheduled over the next seven days. It integrates with calendar data to identify meetings, performs automated research on accounts and attendees using Common Room, and synthesizes the findings into a prioritized report. The skill includes logic for depth calibration based on account importance and provides a fallback format for meetings with limited data, ensuring reps receive actionable insights without fabricated information.
What it does
- Fetches external meetings from the calendar for the upcoming week.
- Performs automated account and contact research using Common Room.
- Conducts targeted recency checks for noteworthy company or executive news.
- Synthesizes research into a structured, date-sorted briefing document.
- Prioritizes urgent signals like renewal risks or trial expirations in a week-level overview.
- Adjusts research depth based on account priority and meeting type.
When to use it
- At the start of the week to prepare for upcoming external calls.
- When you need a consolidated view of account health and attendee context.
- Before high-stakes meetings requiring specific preparation or executive involvement.
- When you need to quickly identify which meetings require the most focus.
Advantages
- Saves time by automating the gathering of account and contact intelligence.
- Ensures consistent preparation quality across all external meetings.
- Helps reps focus on high-priority accounts by flagging urgent signals.
- Provides a scannable format optimized for quick reading.
- Maintains transparency by clearly marking meetings with limited data.
Usage examples
- “Prepare my week”
- The agent fetches your external calendar events, researches the attendees and companies, and generates a structured briefing document for the next 7 days.
- “What calls do I have this week?”
- The agent lists your upcoming external meetings and asks for confirmation before proceeding to generate the full research brief.

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:
Account research — full account snapshot using the account-research skill
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]" newsscoped to the last 7 daysFor 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.
Depth calibration:
For high-priority accounts (large accounts, open opportunities, renewal risk), produce full depth research
For lower-priority or short meetings, produce abbreviated snapshots (3–4 bullets each)
Step 4: Synthesize the Weekly Brief
Compile all per-meeting research into a single structured document, sorted by meeting date/time.
Open with a brief week-level overview that flags:
Any accounts with urgent signals (at-risk, trial expiring, expansion opportunity)
Any meetings that need special preparation or executive involvement
Total external call count and estimated time commitment
Output Format
# Weekly Prep Brief — Week of [Date]
## Week Overview
[2–4 bullets: key themes, flagged priorities, call count]
---
## [Monday / Tuesday / etc.]
### [Company Name] — [Time]
**Attendees:** [Names and titles]
**Meeting type:** [Discovery / QBR / Renewal / Expansion / etc. — inferred if possible]
**Company Snapshot**
[4–5 bullets: account status, top signals, recent activity]
**Attendee Profiles**
- **[Name]** ([Title]): [2–3 bullets on their signals, persona, conversation angle]
- [Repeat per attendee]
**Top Signals This Week**
[2–3 most relevant signals for this specific call]
**This Week's News** [If notable news found]
[Only genuinely noteworthy findings — funding, leadership changes, major press]
**Recommended Objectives**
[1–2 sentences: what to accomplish in this meeting]
---
[Repeat per meeting, sorted by date/time]When a Meeting Has Sparse Data
If Common Room returns limited data for a particular meeting's account or attendees, use a compressed format for that meeting instead of the full template:
### [Company Name] — [Time] ⚠️ Limited Data
**Attendees:** [Names and titles if known]
**Data available:** [What Common Room actually returned]
**Web Search Results**
[Findings from web search — company news, attendee LinkedIn profiles]
**Note:** Common Room has limited data on this account. The rep may want to check directly in CR or gather context from colleagues before this call.Do not generate a full meeting prep section (company snapshot, signal highlights, talking points, recommended objectives) from sparse data. A short honest section is more useful than a fabricated full one.
Quality Standards
Keep each meeting section scannable — reps read these in the morning, often on mobile
Always sort by date/time ascending
Flag urgent situations prominently (risk, trial expiration, open opps) — don't bury them
If a meeting has very thin Common Room data, use the sparse-data format above — never fill the full template with guesses
Total brief should be readable in 10–15 minutes for a week with 4–6 meetings
Every fact must come from a tool call — no invented deal context, activity, or signals
