WhatsApp Meetup → Calendar Integration

Intent

WhatsApp group chats tied to Meetup events should auto-populate Michael's calendar.

Tri-Domain Ownership

1. Lelouch (networking) — extract events from WhatsApp groups (date, time, location, group name, professional-vs-social tag)

2. Dragonite (transport/logistics) — integrate to calendar, flag conflicts, optimise travel time between consecutive events

3. Killua (friendship) — contextualise (which groups align with "make more friends" goal vs purely professional networking)

Minimum Viable Next Step

Michael surfaces:

• Which WhatsApp groups

• 3–5 known upcoming events as test data

• Whether mostly tech/career or social

Then Lelouch sketches the extraction shape (likely a manual scrape of group-chat HTML export → JSON), Dragonite designs the calendar-write integration (ical MCP or AppleScript), Killua tags by goal.

Constraints

* WhatsApp has no API. Source is either manual screenshots OR exported chat .txt files OR Meetup direct (if any of the groups also have Meetup pages).

* Calendar write target: iCal MCP (existing) or osascript path (existing in orochimaru-checkin.py).
