Excerpt

Skill Path

Before running helper scripts or opening bundled references, set:

export MINUTES_SKILLS_ROOT="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.agents/skills/minutes"
export MINUTES_SKILL_ROOT="$MINUTES_SKILLS_ROOT/minutes-brief"

/minutes-brief

Fast, non-interactive briefing that synthesizes your relationship history with someone into a one-page brief — designed so you can read it in 60 seconds before walking into a call.

This is the proactive layer. It's built to be invoked silently by a hook (e.g., 15 min before a calendar event) and to also work as a manual /minutes-brief command. Unlike /minutes-prep, brief asks no questions and sets no goals — it just hands you the facts.
