By name: meeting-notes description: Summarize meetings and extract action items. Use when processing meeting transcripts, notes, or recordings to get summaries, decisions, and follow-ups.
Meeting Notes
Summarize meetings and extract decisions, action items, and follow-ups from transcripts or notes.
When to Use
- User has meeting notes or a transcript and wants a summary
- User wants action items or follow-ups extracted
- User asks "what did we decide?" or "what are the next steps?" from notes
Workflow
- Ingest: Transcript, bullet notes, or rough draft
- Summarize: 3–5 sentence overview of what was discussed and decided
- Extract decisions: What was agreed or decided (with owner if clear)
- Extract action items: Who does what by when (if stated or inferable)
- Format: Clean summary + decisions + action items + optional follow-up email
Output Format
# Meeting Summary: [Topic or title]
**Date**: [if known]
**Attendees**: [if known]
## Summary
[3–5 sentences: what was discussed, main outcomes, tone of meeting]
## Decisions
- [Decision 1]. [Owner/context if known.]
- [Decision 2]
## Action Items
| Owner | Action | Due |
| ------ | ------ | ---------------- |
| [Name] | [What] | [When if stated] |
| ... | ... | ... |
## Follow-up
- [Topic or question to revisit]
- [Blocked item or open question]
## Raw notes / transcript
[Optional: link or truncated copy if user wants it preserved]
What to Extract
Decisions: Explicit agreements, choices made, “we will do X.” Action items: Concrete tasks with owner; add “(owner TBD)” if unclear. Follow-up: Topics to revisit, open questions, blocked items. Risks or concerns: If someone raised a risk or objection, note it briefly.
Do not invent owners or due dates; use “?” or “TBD” when missing.
Tone and Style
- Neutral and factual
- Past tense for what happened (“The team agreed…”)
- Present/future for actions (“Alice will send the doc by Friday”)
- No editorializing; stick to what was said or clearly implied
Follow-up Email (optional)
If user wants a short follow-up email:
**Subject**: Follow-up: [Meeting topic]
Hi all,
Quick summary from [meeting]:
- [Key point 1]
- [Key point 2]
Action items:
- [Name]: [Action] by [date]
- [Name]: [Action]
[Open question or next meeting if any.]
Thanks,
[User]
Generate only if user asks for “follow-up email” or “send summary to attendees.”
Short vs Long Input
- Short notes: Brief summary + bullets for decisions and actions.
- Long transcript: Summary first, then decisions, then actions, then “Key quotes” or “Context” if useful. Do not repeat the whole transcript.
Anti-Patterns
- ❌ Making up owners or due dates not in the source
- ❌ Treating opinions as decisions
- ❌ Huge wall of prose; use bullets and tables
- ❌ Omitting clear action items or decisions
