Meeting Notes

Overview

This skill transforms raw meeting notes, transcripts, or audio summaries into clear, structured documentation with action items, decisions, and key takeaways.

Use Cases:

• Converting messy handwritten notes to clean summaries
• Processing meeting transcripts
• Extracting action items and owners
• Creating meeting minutes for distribution
• Summarizing long discussions into key points

How to Use

1. Paste your raw meeting notes, transcript, or description
2. Tell me the meeting type (standup, project review, client call, etc.)
3. Specify any required format or template
4. I'll create structured notes with action items

Example prompts:

• "Organize these meeting notes and extract action items"
• "Create formal meeting minutes from this transcript"
• "Summarize the key decisions from our project review"
• "Turn this brainstorm session into a structured document"

Processing Guidelines

Extracting Action Items

Look for phrases indicating tasks:

• "We need to..." / "Someone should..."
• "Can you..." / "Will you..."
• "Let's..." / "Action:"
• Names + verbs (e.g., "John will prepare...")
• Deadlines mentioned with tasks

Identifying Decisions

Look for:

• "We've decided..." / "The decision is..."
• "Going forward, we will..."
• "Agreed:" / "Confirmed:"
• Consensus language ("everyone agreed...")

Determining Owners

• Explicitly named: "Sarah will handle..."
• Role-based: "The design team will..."
• Default to meeting organizer if unclear
• Flag unassigned items for follow-up
