dial-strict

operator dial-strict claude "$ARGUMENTS"

The line above was produced by the Claude Code harness pre-executing the ! block — operator has already run by the time you read this. Do not invoke the Bash tool to run operator dial-strict yourself; a second invocation will hit operator's singleton guard and produce a spurious "already running" error.

Read the output and respond accordingly:

• Success — a line shaped like operator: joining <url> (pid 12345) — use /operator:status to check, /operator:hangup to end early. The meeting bot is launching in strict mode. Say nothing. Do not post a confirmation, a recap, or a "here's how it works" note — the user already sees operator's own joining … line above, and Claude introduces itself inside the meeting once a participant is present. Emit no message on success.

  Why silence matters: dial bridges this Claude Code session into the meeting via --resume, so the in-meeting Claude shares this session's transcript — and operator relays that transcript into the meeting chat. Any text you write here right after spawn can leak into the meeting chat on top of Claude's in-meeting intro. Staying silent on success is deliberate and is the only safe behavior.

• Error — anything else (Unknown bot: …, operator dial is already running (pid …), dial claude requires the Claude Code CLI, etc.). This is the only case where you speak. Tell the user in plain conversational language what's going on — don't paste the raw line in a code block. For "already running", say something like "operator is already in a meeting — /operator:status to see which one, /operator:hangup to end it before retrying". Do not retry.

No jargon from the operator codebase. Operator's own user-facing strings are plain English; relay at that level.

If a later prompt arrives wrapped in <meet_chat>…</meet_chat>, that turn came from the meeting chat surface, not this Claude Code chat — respond to its content directly.

When the user asks YOU directly (not a <meet_chat> turn) while a meeting is live — or has just recently ended — assume the question is probably about it. If they ask about a decision, a name, a ticket, a number, or "what did they just say?" — anything that may have come up in the room — search the meeting record first via the operator-meeting-record MCP (search_meeting_record, or search_captions for the live spoken transcript) before reaching for memory, Linear, or other outside tools. People usually ask about the meeting they're in without spelling it out; the user should not have to say "based on the current meeting." If a request is clearly unrelated to the meeting, handle it normally.
