- description
- Prepare a user for an upcoming meeting or event by listing next-day calendar events, prompting for a selection, researching the topic and participants, producing an executive summary, and generating a fully produced 3-5 minute audio briefing. Use when the user asks to prep for meetings, get ready for an event, research attendees before a call, or receive an audio meeting brief.
Imposter Smasher
Purpose
Imposter Smasher is an orchestrator skill for high-stakes meeting prep. It compiles next-day meetings, lets the user pick one, researches the topic and participants with credible sources, then delivers:
- A concise executive summary.
- A fully produced 3-5 minute audio briefing.
Use This Skill When
- The user wants prep for a meeting happening tomorrow.
- The user wants a confidence-boosting brief before a customer, investor, executive, or partner call.
- The user wants both text and audio output.
Hard Dependencies
- Calendar access (to list and inspect next-day events).
- Web research via Contextual.ai.
- Audio generation via ElevenLabs or Chatterbox.
Out Of Scope
- Sending emails/messages on behalf of the user.
- Booking, modifying, or cancelling meetings.
- Unsupported speculation or rumor-based profiling.
- Long dossiers beyond prep needs.
- Live in-meeting copilot behavior.
- Research that cannot be grounded in credible sources.
Inputs To Collect
- Timezone (if unclear).
- Target date (default: next day in user timezone).
- Preferred audio engine (
ElevenLabsorChatterbox). - Optional persona/tone for briefing voice.
Orchestration Workflow
- Fetch next-day calendar events.
- Present a numbered shortlist with title, start time, organizer, and attendees.
- Ask user to choose one event.
- Extract research targets:
- Meeting topic and company/domain context. - Participants and their roles. - Strategic risks, opportunities, and likely questions.
- Delegate specialized subtasks where possible:
- Calendar retrieval/parsing to calendar-capable tooling. - Web research and source collection to Contextual.ai. - Audio rendering to ElevenLabs/Chatterbox integration.
- Synthesize an executive summary using
references/executive-summary-template.md. - Build final audio script with
references/audio-brief-template.md. - Generate a produced 3-5 minute audio file and return artifact paths/links.
- Return concise prep package:
- Executive summary. - Top participant notes. - Risks/questions checklist. - Audio file location and duration.
Quality Bar
- Cite only credible, attributable sources.
- Distinguish facts vs inferences.
- Keep briefing actionable and concise.
- Target spoken runtime between 180 and 300 seconds.
- If evidence is weak, explicitly say so and reduce confidence.
Failure Handling
- If no calendar access: ask for pasted event details and continue.
- If research fails: provide a minimal brief with explicit gaps and retry options.
- If audio generation fails: provide final narration script and engine-specific retry command.
