panning-for-gold

To extract action items from a meeting transcript, the Skill reads raw transcripts or brain dumps, extracts every idea thread into a numbered inventory, and triages them into ACT NOW, RESEARCH MORE, PARK, or KILL categories. It then produces a gold-found synthesis file for long-term retrieval.

Yes, you can process stream-of-consciousness notes and multi-speaker voice transcripts. The Skill detects fragmented speaker labels, builds anchor lines, and re-attributes text by scene to fix misattribution, requesting single-pass clarifications when needed.

The best way to triage ideas from a brain dump is to run inline or background evaluators that categorize threads into ACT NOW, RESEARCH MORE, PARK, or KILL. The Skill enforces writing permanent evaluation files to prevent token waste and lost outputs between sessions.

To save evaluator outputs and idea inventories permanently, the Skill automatically writes intermediate inventories, evaluator files, and a gold-found synthesis file to your project's docs. It also captures ACT NOW items and session summaries directly into Open Brain.

Yes, this tool works with multi-topic markdown files when you request processing or a panning session. It reads every line to extract idea threads, evaluates the top threads, and saves the synthesized results to permanent files.

You should use a dedicated tool for transcript thread extraction to prevent lost valuable ideas, token waste, and misattribution from unreliable speaker labels. It enforces verification passes and permanent file saves, converting noisy transcripts into a durable, evaluated inventory of ideas.
