Meeting Notes

When to Use

Trigger phrases: "take meeting notes", "summarize this meeting", "1:1 notes", "standup notes", "post-mortem notes", "会议纪要", "记录会议".

Also trigger when the user pastes raw transcript / bullet points and asks for cleanup.

The Template

Always produce notes with these five sections, in this order. Skip a section only if the user explicitly says it doesn't apply.

# <Meeting Title> — <YYYY-MM-DD>

**Attendees:** <name1>, <name2>, ...
**Duration:** <Nm>
**Recording:** <link or "n/a">

## Agenda

1. <topic>
2. <topic>

## Discussion

### <Topic 1>
- <key point>
- <key point with context>

### <Topic 2>
...

## Decisions

- ✅ <decision 1> — rationale: <why>
- ✅ <decision 2> — rationale: <why>

## Action Items

| # | Action | Owner | Deadline | Status |
|---|--------|-------|----------|--------|
| 1 | <action verb + outcome> | <person> | <YYYY-MM-DD> | <Open/Done/Blocked> |
| 2 | ... | ... | ... | ... |

## Open Questions

- <question that didn't get an answer>
- <question that needs follow-up>

Workflow

1. Gather input — if the user only sketched bullet points, ask for missing essentials via ask_user_question:

   • Meeting title and date (default to today if not given)
   • Attendees (at least names)
   • Whether decisions / action items already exist or you should infer them

2. Extract — read the transcript / bullets carefully. For each line, classify:

   • Background context → Discussion
   • "We agreed", "We'll go with", "Decided to" → Decisions
   • " will ", "Action: ...", "Owner: ..." → Action Items
   • "?", "TBD", "needs follow-up" → Open Questions

3. Action Item Discipline (the high-value part):

   • Every action MUST have an owner (a real name, not "team")
   • Every action MUST have a deadline (a specific date, not "soon" or "next week")
   • If owner or deadline is missing, surface it explicitly with ⚠️ before the row, e.g.: ⚠️ Owner not assigned: <action> — let the user resolve
   • Action verb first ("Draft …", "Review …", "Ship …"), not vague ("Look into …")

4. Decision Discipline: each decision should be one sentence with a brief "why" so future readers can reconstruct context.

5. Save (optional) — if the user wants to remember decisions / action items for future sessions, offer to save key items via save_memory (scope: "session" or "project"). Don't auto-save without confirming.

Style Rules

• Past tense for Discussion ("we discussed …"), present tense for Decisions ("we go with …"), imperative for Action Items ("Draft proposal …")
• Don't editorialize — just record what was said, decided, or assigned
• One bullet = one fact. No multi-clause sentences with embedded sub-points
• Keep technical jargon if it's the team's vocabulary; don't over-explain
• For multi-language meetings, default to the user's preferred language; mark code-switches with [en] / [zh] if helpful

Common Pitfalls

Mistake	Fix
Vague action: "Look into auth"	"Draft auth migration plan with timing estimates"
No owner: "Team will review"	Surface as ⚠️ and ask who owns it
No deadline: "By next week"	Pin to a specific date (YYYY-MM-DD); ask if unclear
Mixing decisions with discussion	Decisions get the ✅ section; everything else stays in Discussion
Listing everything said	Compress — one bullet per substantive point, not per sentence

Example

Input:

hi all - q3 planning. we need to ship feature X by oct. alice will write the spec
- kevin: should we cut feature Y? yes everyone agrees
- bob will run user research starting next mon
- still unclear who owns infra migration

Output:

# Q3 Planning — 2026-04-25

**Attendees:** Alice, Kevin, Bob
**Duration:** 30m
**Recording:** n/a

## Agenda
1. Feature X timeline
2. Feature Y status
3. Open ownership questions

## Discussion
### Feature X
- Targeting October ship date

### Feature Y
- Considered cutting from Q3 to focus on X

## Decisions
- ✅ Ship Feature X by October — rationale: aligned with Q3 OKRs
- ✅ Cut Feature Y from Q3 — rationale: capacity constrained

## Action Items
| # | Action | Owner | Deadline | Status |
|---|--------|-------|----------|--------|
| 1 | Draft Feature X spec | Alice | 2026-05-02 | Open |
| 2 | Run user research wave | Bob | 2026-04-28 | Open |

## Open Questions
- ⚠️ Owner not assigned: Infrastructure migration
