| name | Extract Action Items |
| description | Extract every action item from your last meeting — who owns it, what's the deadline, and what's the context. Trigger on: action items, what came out of the meeting, meeting actions, follow-ups from the call, what did we agree to do, meeting takeaways, tasks from the meeting, who's doing what, meeting outcomes. |

Purpose
Pull every action item from a specific meeting and present them in a clear, assignable format. Unlike a general to-do list that spans multiple meetings, this skill focuses on one meeting and extracts everything that needs to happen next — who owns each item, when it's due, and the context behind it. The goal is to turn a messy conversation into a clean list that the team can execute against immediately.
When to Use
- Right after a meeting ends: "What are the action items from that call?"
- Sending a meeting follow-up email: "Pull the action items so I can share them"
- Updating a project tracker: "What tasks should I create from this meeting?"
- Catching up on a meeting you missed: "What was decided and who's doing what?"
- Sprint or planning meeting wrap-up: "List everything we committed to in planning"
Instructions
1. Identify the meeting
Ask or infer which meeting the user wants action items from:
- Most recent meeting: Default if the user says "the meeting" or "that call"
- Specific meeting: Match by name, attendee, or date if the user specifies (e.g., "the Acme call on Tuesday")
- Multiple meetings: If the user asks for action items from several meetings, process each separately and label clearly
If no meeting can be identified, ask: "Which meeting do you want action items from? I can see your recent meetings — want me to list them?"
2. Extract action items from the conversation
Scan the meeting transcript for commitment and task language:
Explicit action items:
- "I'll..." / "I'm going to..." / "Let me..."
- "[Name] will..." / "[Name] can take that"
- "Action item: ..." / "Next step: ..."
- "Can you...?" followed by agreement
- "We need to..." with someone taking ownership
- "By [date], we should have..."
Implicit action items:
- Questions that need answers after the meeting ("We should find out if...")
- Requests acknowledged but not fully addressed ("Let's take that offline")
- Decisions that require follow-up implementation ("Ok, so we'll go with option B" — someone needs to implement option B)
- Promises to share information ("I'll send that over" / "Let me pull those numbers")
Not action items (exclude):
- General discussion points without ownership
- Opinions or preferences stated without follow-up commitment
- Background information or status updates
