# Brief (CW-027)

A family of CoWork skills that generate single-file HTML briefing infographics for
Message Point Media meetings — client/partner, internal, and project — on one shared
MPM-branded visual component system. Originates from a bilingual template Roger Lu
(Humax) shared with Bryan; reskinned entirely to MPM's brand (CW-001 / CW-028) and
English-only.

Full design history, the data/continuity architecture, and delivery/hosting plan
(deferred to CW-029, "Brief Server") live in CW-027's Concept.md on Drive — read that
before starting work on any of the remaining five skills.

## Architecture in one paragraph

Each skill pulls its own facts from connected tools (Plaud, Odoo, Gmail, Google Chat)
rather than requiring hand-assembled input, maintains continuity per real-world
project/topic via a Drive folder + `_topic-state.md` manifest (not the ephemeral
sandbox), and renders through one shared component library
(`skills/*/assets/brief-components.css`, tokens sourced from CW-028) rather than
per-brief CSS. Hosting/publishing is intentionally out of scope for this repo — see
CW-029.

## Known issue

The Plaud MCP connector is currently broken (times out; appears to run as a local
server via Claude Desktop, not a cloud connector). The one real brief produced so far
used a manually uploaded transcript as a workaround. Needs a real fix before recap mode
can run unattended.
