Meeting-to-Action Engine

The problem

Meeting transcripts and raw notes are often a chaotic mess of crosstalk, tangents, and vague commitments that no one actually reads. Projects stall because "someone should do this" never turns into a tracked task with an owner and a deadline.

What it does

• Identifies and extracts explicit decisions, framing them as standalone past-tense statements.
• Converts verbal commitments into structured action items with assigned owners and due dates.
• Flags missing metadata, like unassigned tasks or undefined deadlines, using placeholders or proposed dates.
• Separates critical risks and open questions from general discussion to prevent project blockers.
• Generates a formatted, send-ready recap email tailored to the meeting's formality level.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Basic prompts often hallucinate certainties or miss the nuance of "implied" decisions. This skill applies chief-of-staff judgment to categorize information correctly and enforces a strict owner-and-date rule for every action item, ensuring nothing remains a "wish."

Use cases

• Processing raw Zoom, Otter, or Fireflies transcripts into executive-grade minutes.
• Turning 1:1 sync notes into a clear list of commitments for both manager and report.
• Converting high-stakes client calls into professional follow-up emails that capture every requirement.
• Summarizing internal standups to identify blockers that aren't yet owned by a team member.

Known limitations

This skill is designed for post-meeting synthesis. It cannot generate forward-looking agendas from scratch or produce long-form content like blog posts based on the discussion.
