# Messy Notes To Decision Log ## Purpose Extract durable decisions and unresolved questions from rough material. ## Fit - Use when rough notes contain mixed decisions, proposals, actions, and questions. - Do not use when the material is a clean task list that only needs formatting. ## Inputs - Notes, chat excerpts, meeting fragments, or planning scratchpads. - Date, participants, project name, and desired decision format if available. - Any known owners or deadlines. ## Workflow 1. Identify explicit decisions, implied decisions, proposals, and open questions. 2. Keep evidence snippets short and source-linked when possible. 3. Assign owners and dates only when stated; otherwise mark them missing. 4. Separate decisions from action items. 5. Surface contradictions that need follow-up. ## Output Produce Markdown with: - Source Snapshot - Decision Log - Action Items - Open Questions - Contradictions - Missing Owners Or Dates ## Validation - No decision is marked final without evidence. - Implied decisions are labeled as inferred. - Owners and deadlines are not fabricated. - Contradictions are preserved instead of smoothed over. - The result is compact enough to paste into a project tracker.
