Summarization Skill

This skill provides methodology for summarizing meetings and a script for formatting output consistently.

Overview

The summarization skill helps the agent:

1. Identify what's important in meeting content
2. Categorize information correctly (decision vs. action item vs. discussion)
3. Format output consistently using the formatter script

Extraction Guidelines

What Counts as a Decision?

• Explicit agreement ("we decided...", "agreed to...", "will go with...")
• Resolved debates or choices between options
• Approved plans, budgets, or timelines

What Counts as an Action Item?

Must have:

• A clear task (what needs to be done)
• An owner (who will do it)
• Ideally a due date (when it's due)

Look for: "will", "going to", "needs to", "should", "by [date]", names followed by tasks

What Goes in Parking Lot?

• Topics raised but explicitly deferred
• Questions no one could answer
• Items marked for "later", "next time", "offline"

What's Just Context?

• Background information
• Status updates without decisions
• General discussion that didn't lead anywhere

Output Formats

The scripts/formatter.py script supports two output formats:

• Markdown (default): Human-readable, good for sharing
• JSON: Machine-readable, good for integrations
