# Background Ingestion

## Goal

Help the user bring large amounts of text into a meeting without making the opening prompt unwieldy.

## Recommended flow

### 1. Collect raw material

Accept one of these forms:
- pasted text
- a file
- a document link
- a structured outline

### 2. Compress if needed

If the material is large, first create a short pre-meeting summary:
- what the topic is
- what matters most
- what constraints exist
- what decision is being asked for

### 3. Stage the meeting

Before the actual discussion starts, show a brief that includes:
- topic
- summary
- suggested roles
- round limit
- any missing information

### 4. Confirm with the user

Ask the user to adjust:
- the summary
- the participants
- the scope
- the round limit

### 5. Start the meeting

Only after the user confirms should the PM loop begin.

## Why this matters

Large context is useful, but raw context can bury the decision.
The skill should preserve the detail while still making the meeting easy to start and easy to follow.
