Summarize Notes
Turn raw notes into a short, skimmable, faithful summary.
When to use
Use this skill when the user wants a summary, recap, condensed version, or "the gist" of
one or more notes files (meeting notes, research notes, project briefs, and similar).
Steps
- Read each notes file the user provided. Do not pull in files they did not mention.
- Identify the overview, the most important points, any explicit decisions, and any
action items (with owner and due date when stated).
- Produce the output using the format below.
- Do not invent owners, dates, decisions, or facts that are not in the source. If
something is unclear, note it briefly instead of guessing.
Output format
## Overview
<1 to 2 sentences>
## Key points
- <point 1>
- <point 2>
- <point 3>
## Decisions (omit this section if there are none)
- <decision>
## Action items (omit this section if there are none)
- <Owner> - <task> (due <date> if present)
Rules
- Stay faithful to the source; summarize, do not editorialize.
- Keep it concise: aim for 3 to 6 key points.
- Never rewrite or modify the original notes files.
- If multiple files are given, summarize them together and note which file a decision or
action item came from when it is not obvious.
