Meeting Notes to Action Items

Convert disorganized meeting notes into structured accountability: a clean summary, an action-item table, and a personalized follow-up draft per owner. Work only from what the notes actually say — never invent owners, deadlines, or decisions that are not in the notes.

Steps

1. Get the notes. Accept pasted text, a file path, or a transcript. If the notes name

attendees ambiguously (initials, first names shared by two people), ask the user to resolve them before assigning ownership.

1. Extract, citing the notes:

• Decisions made — each with the sentence in the notes that records it.
• Action items — task, owner, deadline, and one line of context. If the notes give

no owner or deadline, mark it UNASSIGNED / NO DATE rather than guessing, and list those gaps for the user to fill.

• Open questions — anything discussed but unresolved.

1. Render three outputs in this order:

• A 3–5 sentence meeting summary suitable for forwarding.
• An action-item table: Owner | Task | Deadline | Context.
• One short follow-up email draft per owner covering only that owner's items.

1. Verify before presenting: every action item in the table must trace to a line in the

notes, and every owner must appear in the attendee list. Ask the user to confirm the UNASSIGNED / NO DATE gaps — do not send or save drafts until they have reviewed them.

Constraints

• Drafts are drafts: Claude only writes text; the user reviews and delivers everything

from their own mail client.

• Keep each follow-up email under ~120 words — one ask, one deadline, no filler.
• If the notes contain fewer than three concrete items, say the skill is overkill and

offer a two-line summary instead.
