Minutes Brief
You say "brief me" ten minutes before a call and get a one-page summary of your relationship history with whoever you're about to talk to. It auto-detects your next calendar event, pulls open commitments in both directions, surfaces recent decisions, and reads the last two meeting transcripts. The whole thing runs in under 30 seconds and asks zero questions. It's built to be hook-fireable, meaning you can wire it to trigger silently 15 minutes before every meeting starts. The Minutes CLI does the heavy lifting here but has a messy stream contract, so the skill includes specific sed pipes and JSON extraction logic to work around stdout contamination. Use this when speed matters. If you want to set goals and think through strategy first, use minutes-prep instead.

/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.
How it works
Phase 0: Determine the target
Three ways the user can invoke this:
1. With a name (/minutes-brief sarah, "brief me on Alex")
→ Use that name directly. Before searching, check for learned aliases:
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/lib/minutes-learn-cli.mjs" aliases "<name>" 2>/dev/null
If aliases exist, search across all returned variants and treat them as the same person for the rest of the flow. If the user explicitly says two names are the same person, persist it:
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/lib/minutes-learn-cli.mjs" set-alias "Sarah Chen" "Sarah" "User confirmed these refer to the same person"
Then skip to Phase 1.
