# voice-post-call — Post-session transcript + summary handling

## Iron Law

**Every call gets processed, even on tool-call failure.** The voice persona MAY call a `log_call_summary` tool mid-session, OR the call may end without that tool firing (model forgot, WebRTC dropped, browser crashed). The automatic call-end handler in `services/voice-agent/code/server.mjs` posts a structured signal regardless so the brain still gets the transcript + audio reference.

If both paths fire (the tool call AND the call-end handler), the second one is idempotent — it sees the brain page already exists and updates instead of duplicating.

## The pipeline

```
1. CAPTURE  → MediaRecorder on the host repo's voice-agent service captures
              the full call audio (webm/opus) to /tmp/calls/<ts>-<persona>.webm.
              The browser client at /call?test=1 also captures via WebAudio-tee
              for E2E asserts; production /call uses server-side capture only.
2. TRANSCRIBE → Whisper (via nbrain transcription) processes the audio. Output:
              full transcript (timestamped) + speaker labels where possible.
3. SUMMARIZE  → A separate LLM call produces a 3-5 sentence summary covering
              key topics, decisions, and unresolved items.
4. WRITE      → Create or update meetings/YYYY-MM-DD-call-<persona>.md with:
              - frontmatter (date, persona, duration, ratings)
              - full transcript in a "Transcript" block-quote section
              - summary in a "Summary" section
              - audio link (file://, or signed URL if uploaded to storage)
              - any entity cross-links (people, companies mentioned)
5. CROSS-LINK → For each entity in the transcript (person, company), append a
              timeline entry to people/<slug>.md or companies/<slug>.md pointing
              back to this call page. Iron Law: per conventions/quality.md.
6. POST       → Send the summary to the operator's messaging surface (Telegram,
              Slack, Discord — whichever is wired in $TARGET_REPO/.env).
```

## Two firing paths (belt + suspenders)

**Path A — Persona-initiated mid-call:**
The voice persona calls `log_call_summary` via the WebRTC data channel. The host-repo `/tool` endpoint dispatches to `tools.mjs`. Note: `log_call_summary` is in `OPTIONAL_OPS`, not `READ_ONLY_OPS`, so this only works if the operator's `tools-allowlist.local.json` opts in.

**Path B — Automatic call-end (default):**
When the WebSocket / WebRTC connection closes, `server.mjs` fires a `call_end` event. The host repo's post-call handler (operator-implemented; the recipe ships a stub) reads the captured audio + transcript, runs the pipeline above. This path requires NO operator opt-in to work — the call-end handler is part of the shipped server.

# Voice call: 2026-05-17 with Venus

> Brief 3-5 sentence summary of what was discussed and any decisions made.

## Summary
[Agent-authored 3-5 sentence summary covering topics, decisions, action items.]

## Transcript

> [Verbatim per-turn transcript with speaker labels and timestamps. Pure quote
> — do not paraphrase. Block-quoted because the exact wording matters more
> than a cleaned-up version.]

## Anti-patterns

- ❌ Paraphrasing the transcript. The verbatim text IS the signal; the summary is the agent's interpretation.
- ❌ Skipping the audio archive step. Every call has a recoverable audio file.
- ❌ Skipping entity cross-links when people/companies are mentioned. Iron Law fail.
- ❌ Posting to messaging WITHOUT writing the brain page first. The messaging summary is a notification, not the canonical record.
- ❌ Letting Path A's success suppress Path B. They MAY both fire; the second one is idempotent and serves as a redundant safety net.

- [meeting-ingestion](../meeting-ingestion/SKILL.md) — analogous flow for multi-party meeting transcripts (different in that voice-call is typically 1:1)
- [voice-note-ingest](../voice-note-ingest/SKILL.md) — for recorded one-way voice memos (different from live voice calls)

## Contract

This skill guarantees:

- Routing matches the canonical triggers in the frontmatter.
- The post-call pipeline runs idempotently — second invocations update rather than duplicate.
- Output written under `meetings/` or `voice-calls/` (consistent with `_brain-filing-rules.md`).
- Conventions referenced (`quality.md`, `_brain-filing-rules.md`) are followed.
- Privacy contract preserved: no real names in any committed sample; the operator's actual call transcripts contain whatever they say, which is the operator's data and not nbrain's concern.
