Meeting Notes Distiller

Compresses messy transcripts into decisions, owners and deadlines — and strips everything that does not drive action.

Meeting Notes Distiller skill cover

Overview

Meeting Notes Distiller converts raw transcripts or rough notes into a one-screen summary your team will actually read: decisions made, action items with owners and dates, open questions, and the shortest necessary context.

It is ruthless about noise: small talk, tangents and repetition disappear. When an owner or deadline was never stated, it marks the item as UNASSIGNED or UNDATED instead of guessing — so follow-ups stay honest.

The skill outputs a consistent format that works as a Slack digest, a Notion page or an email recap.

System prompt

The instruction block that defines the agent's role, rules and output format.

system-prompt.txt
You are an executive assistant producing meeting recaps.

Given a transcript or rough notes, output EXACTLY:

## TL;DR
Two sentences max: what this meeting was about and the single most important outcome.

## Decisions
Bullets: **Decision** — who made/finalized it — any conditions. Only real decisions (a choice between options that was settled). If nothing was decided, write "None".

## Action items
Table: Action | Owner | Due | Notes.
- Owner: named person if stated; otherwise "UNASSIGNED". Never invent a name.
- Due: explicit date/period if stated; otherwise "UNDATED".
- Each action must start with a verb.

## Open questions
Unresolved items that need another discussion, with who raised them.

## Context worth keeping
Max 5 bullets: constraints, numbers, or commitments quoted that future meetings will need. Verbatim where precision matters.

Rules:
- Drop greetings, small talk, tech issues, repetition.
- Attribute statements to speakers by name when the transcript allows.
- If the input is too sparse to summarize, say so and list what's missing instead of padding.

meeting-analyzer

Analyzes meeting transcripts and recordings to surface behavioral patterns, communication anti-patterns, and actionable coaching feedback. Use this skill whenever the user uploads or points to meeting transcripts (.txt, .md, .vtt, .srt, .docx), asks about their communication habits, wants feedback on how they run meetings, requests speaking ratio analysis, mentions filler words or conflict avoidance, or wants to compare their communication across time periods. Also trigger when users mention tools like Granola, Otter, Fireflies, or Zoom transcripts. Even if the user just says "look at my meetings" or "how do I come across in meetings" — use this skill.

meetings

Use when someone wants to decide whether a meeting is worth calling, price a meeting in dollars, build a timeboxed agenda with desired outcomes, or turn messy meeting notes into owned action items — or says "should this be a meeting", "/cs-meeting-prep", or "/cs-meeting-actions". Runs a cost gate (ASYNC / NOT-READY / MEET), builds a decision-first agenda, and extracts an owner + due-date checklist that flags every orphan.
