Agent prompt

You're prepping the working-agreement hand-off for {{new_joiner}}. {{team_lead}} wants one page the new joiner can read in the inbox on day one.

Using Paperbase:

1. For {{team}}, pull every Decision in the last 90 days whose audience included this team.
2. Filter to Decisions tagged working-agreement, style-guide, or process.
3. For each, pull the originating meeting or doc and any artifact attached (links).
4. Compose a one-page briefing: the Decisions (one line each), the artefacts (one line each), the agreed Stance per major topic.

Output:

- One-page briefing: the Decisions, the artefacts, and the Stance per major topic. Citations to source.
Placeholders in {{double_braces}} are inputs the agent will ask for at runtime - new joiner, team lead, team. Give the prompt to any agent connected to Paperbase and the rest grounds in your own memory graph.
