Meeting Prep Protocol

You show up to the meeting having skimmed the invite title. You have not read the pre-read. You do not know what the other attendees own or what they need from you. The discussion runs long, a decision gets made, and three people leave with different understandings of what was agreed. Two weeks later, the same meeting happens again. Meeting Prep Protocol is a single-skill install that runs a repeatable preparation sequence before any meeting of consequence. Built from the recurring failure patterns in high-meeting corporate environments — where 70% of meeting time is consumed by participants who showed up underprepared — every template and workflow in this skill exists because someone had to run the same post-mortem twice. Unlike a blank agenda template you found online, Meeting Prep Protocol refuses to let you open a meeting without a documented decision target. Every session run through this protocol ends with a filled Decision Log and a named action item owner — because meetings without those two outputs are not meetings, they are conversations that cost calendar time. What you get: MEETING_PREP.md — the master protocol with sequenced preparation steps. AGENDA_TEMPLATE.md — structured agenda with time blocks, objective statement, and decision target field. PARTICIPANT_BRIEF.md — per-attendee context and stake research template. DISCUSSION_QUESTIONS.md — bank of forcing-function questions calibrated to meeting type. DECISION_LOG.md — structured capture template for outcomes and rationale. ACTION_ITEMS.md — extraction template with owner, deadline, and escalation fields. No external API key required. Works inside Claude Code, OpenClaw, or any Claude-based agent.
