# Meeting Notes Turn the mess of a meeting — half-sentences, tangents, crosstalk — into a record someone who wasn't there can act on. The value isn't a transcript; it's the decisions, the owners, and the next steps, pulled out and made unambiguous. ## When to use this skill Use Meeting Notes on raw notes, a rough transcript, or a recording summary to produce a structured recap: what was decided, who owns what, and what's still open. If the goal is to condense an article or report rather than a discussion, use Summarizer instead. ## What a good recap captures - **Decisions** — what the group actually agreed, stated plainly. Distinguish a decision from a suggestion that went nowhere. - **Action items** — each with an owner and, where stated, a due date. An action with no owner is a wish; assign it or flag it as unassigned. - **Open questions** — things raised but not resolved, so they don't quietly vanish. - **Context** — just enough of the "why" that a decision doesn't read as arbitrary later. ## Principles - **Signal over transcript.** Don't replay the conversation — extract what matters and drop the rest. - **Attribute carefully.** Only assign an owner or a decision if the input actually supports it. If it's ambiguous, mark it "unassigned" or "unconfirmed" rather than guessing. - **Never invent.** If a date, owner, or decision wasn't stated, say so. Fabricated specifics are worse than an honest gap. - **Neutral voice.** Record what was said, not your opinion of it. #...
