## 1. Native Interface

- **Inputs**: `/prep [Query]`.
- **Tools**: `grep_search` (Files), `view_file`.

## 2. Cognitive Protocol

1.  **Parallel Execution**:
    - **Action**: In a SINGLE turn:
      - Scan `5. Trackers/` for open tasks/decisions.
      - Search `3. Meetings/` filenames for `[Person]`.
      - Read `4. People/[Person].md` (if exists).
2.  **Synthesis**: Combine findings into a "Dossier".

### B. Synthesis (The Cheat Sheet)

Combine findings into a "Dossier":
