What is forecast-review-prep?

A one-page briefing for an upcoming forecast, business, or operating review. It gathers the meeting, attendees, recent discussions, key numbers, and unresolved items into a single pre-read.

Use it to prepare a review brief with attendee roles, expected focus areas, numbers to bring, and open actions from the previous cycle.

It saves time searching across calendars, email, chat, and older review notes. It gives participants a shared view of what the meeting is likely to cover.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00126	$0.01283
Opus 5.5	$0.00050	$0.00513
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00025	$0.00257
Haiku 4.5	$0.00013	$0.00128

Measured 2d ago against content hash bb70677bc194, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

forecast-review-prep scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Forecast / Business Review Prep

A single-screen brief for an upcoming review: what it is, who's in the room, what they'll likely focus on, the numbers to have ready, and what's still open from last cycle.

When NOT to Use

General meeting prep for any meeting type → outside this skill's scope
Building the forecast or model itself → spreadsheet or BI work, do that first
Anticipating and pre-answering specific questions → use stakeholder-qa-prep
1:1 prep → outside this skill's scope

Hand off rather than overlap:

Anticipating and pre-answering questions — use stakeholder-qa-prep instead.
A slide-format prep pack — use pptx instead.
Writing the variance narrative itself — use variance-commentary instead.
Close-cycle status — use close-status-digest instead.
General meeting prep of any type — outside this skill's scope.

Workflow

1. Find the meeting

outlook_calendar-ListCalendarView from now through the next seven days, matched on the subject keywords the user used. If they named it exactly, use that. If several candidates remain, list them with core-AskUserQuestion — never guess between two plausible reviews.

Capture subject, start time in the user's local time zone, organizer, and attendees.

2. Identify the senior attendee

Scan the attendee list and resolve unfamiliar names with me_profile-GetUserDetails or me_profile-SearchPeople to surface role and team. The most senior person in the room is effectively who the user is preparing for — anchor the focus areas around them.

Never infer seniority from a name or email pattern; resolve it from the directory or leave it unstated.

3. Gather context — run these in parallel

m365_search-SearchM365 with sources=["email","teams"] on the meeting subject and its key metrics, last 14 days
m365_search-SearchM365 with sources=["files"] for pre-read documents referenced in those threads
outlook-ListMessages filtered to the senior attendee, last 7 days
If the meeting recurs, find the prior occurrence with outlook_calendar-ListEvents and pull its follow-up thread for open action items

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
