SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Meeting notes often contain buried decisions, vague ownership, and lost commitments that never translate into tracked work. This Skill converts raw transcripts into accountable, cited follow-through items ready for project boards.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Evidence-Based Extraction: Separates decisions, proposals, commitments, questions, risks, and facts with supporting quotes or timestamps.
  • Action Item Normalization: Structures each commitment with outcome, owner, due date, dependency, acceptance criteria, and source reference.
  • Reconciliation with Existing Trackers: Searches Notion, GitHub Issues, or other project systems for matching open items before creating duplicates.
  • Use Case: After a product sync, feed the transcript into this Skill to generate a follow-up email, draft tickets for each owner, and reconcile new commitments against the existing sprint board.

Quick Start

Extract all decisions, action items, and unresolved questions from the attached meeting transcript and draft follow-up tickets for each named owner.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract action items from meeting transcripts automatically?

Parse the transcript to identify explicit commitments, then normalize each into structured fields: outcome, owner, due date, dependency, acceptance criteria, and source reference. Flag any field that cannot be confidently assigned as unresolved rather than inventing values.

What is the best way to assign owners to meeting action items?

Only assign owners when the transcript explicitly names a person responsible for the commitment. If no owner is stated, mark the field as unresolved and surface it for confirmation rather than defaulting to a team or role.

Can this skill reconcile new action items with existing project tickets?

Yes, it searches the user's tracker connector such as Notion or GitHub Issues for matching open items before creating anything. Recurring meetings often produce duplicate tickets, so reconciliation distinguishes proposed creates from updates.

Why does meeting action item extraction invent deadlines?

Inventing deadlines from urgency language like 'ASAP' or 'soon' is a common pitfall. The skill requires explicit dates from the transcript and marks missing deadlines as unresolved rather than guessing.

When should I not use this skill for meeting notes?

Do not use this skill to retrieve meeting recordings or transcripts from platforms like Microsoft Teams. Use a connector skill such as teams-meeting-pipeline first, then apply this skill once the transcript content is available.
