agent context window exceeded summarizing long earnings call transcript for prep brief

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in meeting prep agent by acting on the exact message first: summarise the earnings transcript in dated chunks, keep a running summary of guidance, numbers and risks, and build the brief section from the running summary plus direct quotes for the two or three points that matter to this meeting. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Use this when

• The operation in meeting prep agent fails with this exact message: agent context window exceeded summarizing long earnings call transcript for prep brief.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A call, review or send is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is a permission or outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this error remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with its output. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in meeting prep agent, and copy the full message plus the account, contact or meeting involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named item, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this error: summarise the earnings transcript in dated chunks, keep a running summary of guidance, numbers and risks, and build the brief section from the running summary plus direct quotes for the two or three points that matter to this meeting. Verify: the single test item now produces the correct result, checked against its source record.
3. Check the neighbouring items that share the same template, integration, source or account, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Compare the result against the source system so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts and key values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
5. Rerun the original operation in meeting prep agent on the previously failing scope, watching for the same message rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original message does not appear.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the error, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

A full earnings call transcript plus the rest of the brief inputs exceeds the context window, and the failure arrives only after the whole document is loaded, wasting the run.
