CoP Scribe Workflow
Interactive guide for processing CoP meeting notes from Google Calendar through to repository commit. Steps 1-2 are manual; Steps 3-5 are automated via Claude Code skills.
When to Use
- After a CoP working session when you need to process the meeting notes
- When you want step-by-step guidance through the scribe workflow
- To automate file transformation, git commit, and PR creation
Workflow Overview
Manual steps (1-2): Open and move Gemini notes, export Notes tab Automated steps (3-5): Claude Code transforms and reviews the file, runs the retrospective, then commits and creates the PR
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Open and Move Gemini Notes
- Open Google Calendar, find "A11y CoP Working Session" event
- Click attached Google Drive document
- Navigate to the Notes tab — do not open the Transcript tab
- Click the folder icon in the toolbar (or File → Move)
- Navigate to: A11y Community of Practice → Session Transcripts
- Click "Move" and confirm ownership change if prompted
Ready to continue? Type continue or next when done.
Step 2: Export Notes Tab
Goal: Download only the Notes tab as a markdown file.
- Confirm you are on the Notes tab (not Transcript)
- File → Download → Markdown (.md)
- In the export dialog, select "Current Tab"
- Save to your local machine
Ready to continue? Type continue or next when the file is saved.
Step 3: Transform and Review Notes (AUTOMATED)
Goal: Format the exported notes and review for issues before committing.
Provide the path to your exported file and run:
/prepare-cop-notes '/path/to/your/exported-file.md'
The skill cleans the file, flags items for your review (ASR mishears, speaker names, client names, PII), and saves the result to sessions/YYYY-MM-DD-session-notes.md. Respond to each prompt before continuing.
Ready to continue? Type continue or next when done.
Step 4: Retrospective (AUTOMATED)
Goal: Capture anything you fixed manually after Claude's review and update the workflow for future scribes.
Run:
/scribe-retrospective
The skill will ask what you corrected manually — name spellings, client names, or anything else not caught automatically. If any skill files need updating, it will apply those changes now.
Ready to continue? Type continue or next when done.
Step 5: Commit and Create Pull Request (AUTOMATED)
Goal: Commit the notes and any retro improvements, then open a PR for review.
Run:
/using-git
Claude will show you what changed and confirm the commit split before proceeding:
- Commit 1: session notes
- Commit 2: retro improvements (if any)
After confirming, Claude will push the branch and create the PR. Fill in the PR template on GitHub:
- Title: "Add [date] CoP session transcript"
- Session Summary: 2-3 sentence overview
- Topics Covered: Bullet list of main discussion points
- Decisions Made: Action items or decisions from the session
- Scribe Checklist: Confirm all steps completed
Request review from another CoP member.
Implementation Notes
Model preference: Use Haiku for scribe workflows (routine, well-structured tasks). Override with /model sonnet if needed.
File naming: YYYY-MM-DD-session-notes.md
Branch naming: transcript/YYYY-MM-DD-cop-session
Commit format: docs(sessions): add YYYY-MM-DD session transcript
