Prepare for an upcoming meeting by gathering context on attendees and related topics.

## Tone Calibration

Before executing this command, read `System/user-profile.yaml` → `communication` section and adapt:

**Career Level Adaptations:**
- **Junior:** Provide more context about attendees, suggest preparation tips
- **Mid:** Balance context with action, suggest talking points
- **Senior/Leadership:** Strategic framing, influence opportunities, key decisions
- **C-Suite:** High-level strategic context, organizational implications, key stakeholders

**Directness:**
- **Very direct:** Bullet points, key facts only
- **Balanced:** Context + talking points (default)
- **Supportive:** Detailed prep, conversation strategies

**Detail Level:**
- **Concise:** Names, roles, top 3 talking points
- **Balanced:** Standard prep format
- **Comprehensive:** Full context, relationship dynamics, strategic considerations

See CLAUDE.md → "Communication Adaptation" for full guidelines.

## Arguments

**Optional:** $MEETING, $ATTENDEES

If not provided, prompt the user for:
1. Meeting topic or title
2. List of attendees (comma-separated names)

**Examples:**
- `/meeting-prep "Q1 Planning" "Sarah Chen, Mike Rodriguez"`
- `/meeting-prep` (then prompt for details)

## What This Does

1. Looks up each attendee in `People/` folder
2. Surfaces recent interactions and open action items
3. Checks for related projects
4. Suggests talking points based on context

## Process

### Step 0: Gather Context (if needed)

**If $MEETING or $ATTENDEES are not provided:**

Ask: "Which meeting are you prepping for?"
- Get meeting topic/title

Ask: "Who's attending? (comma-separated names or just list them)"
- Accept formats: "Sarah Chen, Mike Rodriguez" or "Sarah, Mike" or natural list
- Parse into individual attendee names

### Step 1: Attendee Lookup

For each attendee in $ATTENDEES:

1. Search `05-Areas/People/Internal/` and `05-Areas/People/External/` for matching names
2. If found, extract:
   - Role and company
   - Last interaction date
   - Open action items involving them
   - Key context or notes

3. If not found, note: "No person page for [Name] - consider creating one after the meeting"

### Step 2: Related Projects

Search `04-Projects/` for any projects that:
- Mention the attendees
- Relate to the meeting topic ($MEETING)

Extract:
- Project name and status
- Relevant milestones or blockers
- Recent updates

### Step 3: Recent Context

Search `00-Inbox/Meetings/` for recent meetings with these attendees:
- What was discussed?
- What was decided?
- What follow-ups were committed?

### Step 4: Compile Prep Brief

## Output Format

## Demo Mode Check

Before executing, check if demo mode is active:

1. Read `System/user-profile.yaml` and check `demo_mode`
2. **If `demo_mode: true`:**
   - Display: "Demo Mode Active — Using sample data"
   - Use `System/Demo/` paths instead of root paths
   - Write any output to `System/Demo/` subdirectories
3. **If `demo_mode: false`:** Use normal vault paths
