Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins at da38ec1ee8.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

The call-prep skill enables AI agents to autonomously retrieve and synthesize relevant context from a knowledge base before initiating scheduled or ad-hoc meetings. It ensures participants have access to necessary background information, reducing friction during discussions.

When to use it

  • Automate pre-meeting briefings for recurring stand-ups or project reviews.
  • Ensure new hires receive immediate context before their first 1:1s with managers.
  • Prepare legal or compliance teams by gathering relevant case files prior to strategy calls.
  • Reduce meeting duration by surfacing key data points and decisions made previously.

Key capabilities

  • Context Retrieval: Automatically searches the knowledge base for documents related to specific topics or participants.
  • Synthesis: Summarizes retrieved information into concise, actionable briefs tailored to the meeting agenda.
  • Distribution: Delivers prepared materials directly to attendees via email or chat channels prior to the event start time.

Example prompts

  • "Prepare a briefing for tomorrow's client review meeting using all Q3 performance reports and recent feedback."
  • "Gather context on Project Alpha's current blockers and summarize them for the engineering team sync."
  • "Retrieve the latest compliance guidelines and past audit findings to share before the regulatory update call."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your knowledge base is up-to-date, as the skill relies entirely on available data accuracy. Define clear search parameters in your prompts to avoid retrieving irrelevant historical documents that may clutter the briefing.
