name: meeting-context-engine description: Build the core service layer that orchestrates calendar events, notes, people, RAG indexing, and summarization into a unified meeting context system. This skill should be used when implementing the data flow pipeline, meeting briefs, relationship tracking, background sync, or query handling.

Meeting Context Engine

Overview

The MeetingContextService is the orchestration layer — the "brain" — that ties calendar events, notes, people, RAG search, and summarization into a cohesive system. It manages the data flow pipeline from calendar fetch through embedding generation, handles natural language queries, and generates meeting briefs.

Core Service Design

import SwiftData
import EventKit

@Observable
final class MeetingContextService {
    private let calendarService: CalendarService
    private let embeddingService: EmbeddingService
    private let ragService: RAGService
    private let modelContainer: ModelContainer

    init(
        calendarService: CalendarService,
        embeddingService: EmbeddingService,
        ragService: RAGService,
        modelContainer: ModelContainer
    ) {
        self.calendarService = calendarService
        self.embeddingService = embeddingService
        self.ragService = ragService
        self.modelContainer = modelContainer
    }
}

Use protocol-based dependencies for testability:

protocol CalendarServiceProtocol {
    func requestAccess() async throws -> Bool
    func fetchEvents(from: Date, to: Date) -> [EKEvent]
    var authorizationStatus: EKAuthorizationStatus { get }
}

protocol RAGServiceProtocol {
    func search(query: String, topK: Int, context: ModelContext) -> [SearchResult]
    func indexMeetingRecord(_ record: MeetingRecord, context: ModelContext) async
    func indexNote(_ note: Note, context: ModelContext) async
}

Data Flow Pipeline

Calendar Sync → MeetingRecord → Embeddings

Calendar (EventKit)
    ↓ fetch events
EKEvent[]
    ↓ sync to SwiftData
MeetingRecord[]
    ↓ extract chunks
Text chunks[]
    ↓ generate embeddings
EmbeddingRecord[]
    ↓ stored in SwiftData
Available for RAG search

Sync Implementation

extension MeetingContextService {
    func syncCalendarEvents(from start: Date, to end: Date) async {
        let context = ModelContext(modelContainer)
        let events = calendarService.fetchEvents(from: start, to: end)

        for event in events {
            let eventId = event.eventIdentifier ?? ""
            guard !eventId.isEmpty else { continue }

            // Check for existing record
            let descriptor = FetchDescriptor<MeetingRecord>(
                predicate: #Predicate { $0.eventIdentifier == eventId }
            )
            let existing = try? context.fetch(descriptor).first

            if let record = existing {
                // Update if changed
                updateRecord(record, from: event)
            } else {
                // Create new
                let record = createRecord(from: event, context: context)
                context.insert(record)
                // Trigger async indexing
                Task.detached(priority: .utility) { [self] in
                    let bgContext = ModelContext(modelContainer)
                    await ragService.indexMeetingRecord(record, context: bgContext)
                    try? bgContext.save()
                }
            }

            // Sync attendees → Person records
            syncAttendees(from: event, context: context)
        }

        try? context.save()
    }

    private func createRecord(from event: EKEvent, context: ModelContext) -> MeetingRecord {
        let record = MeetingRecord()
        record.eventIdentifier = event.eventIdentifier
        record.title = event.title ?? "Untitled"
        record.startDate = event.startDate
        record.endDate = event.endDate
        record.location = event.location
        record.isRecurring = event.hasRecurrenceRules
        record.calendarTitle = event.calendar.title
        record.createdAt = Date()
        record.updatedAt = Date()

        // Extract organizer
        if let organizer = event.organizer {
            record.organizerName = organizer.name
            record.organizerEmail = organizer.url.absoluteString
                .replacingOccurrences(of: "mailto:", with: "")
        }

        return record
    }
}

Attendee → Person Sync

private func syncAttendees(from event: EKEvent, context: ModelContext) {
    guard let attendees = event.attendees else { return }

    for participant in attendees {
        let email = participant.url.absoluteString
            .replacingOccurrences(of: "mailto:", with: "")
        let name = participant.name ?? email

        // Upsert person (unique by email)
        let descriptor = FetchDescriptor<Person>(
            predicate: #Predicate { $0.email == email }
        )

        if let person = try? context.fetch(descriptor).first {
            person.lastInteractionDate = event.startDate
            person.meetingCount += 1
        } else {
            let person = Person()
            person.email = email
            person.name = name
            person.meetingCount = 1
            person.lastInteractionDate = event.startDate
            context.insert(person)
        }
    }
}

Query Handler

Route natural language questions through RAG:

struct QueryResponse {
    let answer: String
    let sources: [MeetingRecord]
    let relatedNotes: [Note]
}

extension MeetingContextService {
    func answerQuestion(_ question: String) async -> QueryResponse {
        let context = ModelContext(modelContainer)
        let results = ragService.search(query: question, topK: 5, context: context)

        // Gather unique source meetings and notes
        var meetings: [MeetingRecord] = []
        var notes: [Note] = []
        for result in results {
            if let meeting = result.embeddingRecord.meetingRecord, !meetings.contains(where: { $0.eventIdentifier == meeting.eventIdentifier }) {
                meetings.append(meeting)
            }
            if let note = result.embeddingRecord.note, !notes.contains(where: { $0.id == note.id }) {
                notes.append(note)
            }
        }

        // Assemble answer from top results
        let answerText = results.prefix(3)
            .map { $0.embeddingRecord.sourceText }
            .joined(separator: "\n\n")

        return QueryResponse(
            answer: answerText,
            sources: meetings,
            relatedNotes: notes
        )
    }
}

Meeting Brief Generation

Generate a brief before an upcoming meeting:

extension MeetingContextService {
    func generateBrief(for upcomingMeeting: MeetingRecord) async -> MeetingBrief {
        let context = ModelContext(modelContainer)

        // Find past meetings with the same attendees
        let attendeeEmails = upcomingMeeting.attendees.map(\.email)
        let pastMeetings = findPastMeetings(withAttendees: attendeeEmails, context: context)

        // Find related notes
        let relatedResults = ragService.search(
            query: upcomingMeeting.title,
            topK: 5,
            context: context
        )

        return MeetingBrief(
            meetingTitle: upcomingMeeting.title,
            attendeeSummaries: generateAttendeeSummaries(attendeeEmails, context: context),
            pastMeetingCount: pastMeetings.count,
            recentTopics: extractTopics(from: pastMeetings),
            relatedNotes: relatedResults.compactMap { $0.embeddingRecord.note }
        )
    }
}

struct MeetingBrief {
    let meetingTitle: String
    let attendeeSummaries: [String]
    let pastMeetingCount: Int
    let recentTopics: [String]
    let relatedNotes: [Note]
}

Background Sync

Periodically check for calendar changes:

extension MeetingContextService {
    func startBackgroundSync() {
        // Listen for calendar store changes
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(
            forName: .EKEventStoreChanged, object: nil, queue: .main
        ) { [weak self] _ in
            Task { await self?.performIncrementalSync() }
        }
    }

    private func performIncrementalSync() async {
        let now = Date()
        let past30Days = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: -30, to: now)!
        let future7Days = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: 7, to: now)!
        await syncCalendarEvents(from: past30Days, to: future7Days)
    }
}

Conflict Resolution

Handle externally modified/deleted calendar events:

• Modified event: The eventIdentifier stays the same. Update the MeetingRecord fields but preserve user-added data (notes, purpose, outcomes).
• Deleted event: The event disappears from EventKit fetch results. Keep the MeetingRecord and its embeddings — the user's notes and context are still valuable. Flag with a calendarDeleted property if needed.
• Recurring event changes: If a single occurrence is modified, it gets a new eventIdentifier. Track the original series via the recurring event's base identifier.

Timeline Generation

func generateTimeline(for date: Date) -> [TimelineEntry] {
    let context = ModelContext(modelContainer)
    let start = Calendar.current.startOfDay(for: date)
    let end = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: 1, to: start)!

    let descriptor = FetchDescriptor<MeetingRecord>(
        predicate: #Predicate { $0.startDate >= start && $0.startDate < end },
        sortBy: [SortDescriptor(\.startDate)]
    )

    let meetings = (try? context.fetch(descriptor)) ?? []
    return meetings.map { meeting in
        TimelineEntry(
            meeting: meeting,
            hasNotes: !meeting.notes.isEmpty,
            hasSummary: meeting.summary != nil,
            attendeeCount: meeting.attendees.count
        )
    }
}
