Meeting Decisions and Action Items
Turn raw meeting transcripts into supported decisions, open questions, and action items with owners and due dates.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
I can help format that. What kind of structure would you prefer? Do you want decisions listed separately from action items, or mixed? Should I include who said what, or just the summary? Also, how do you want due dates handled — should I guess based on what was said, or would you rather I flag them as 'unclear'? Once you give me those preferences, I can organize the notes.
MEETING: Q3 Planning Sync (Jul 31, 9:30–10:15 AM) Attendees: Alice (PM), Bob (Eng), Carol (Design) DECISIONS MADE: ✓ Ship new onboarding flow by Aug 15 (was Sept 1) ✓ Deprioritize analytics dashboard (slide to Q4) ✓ Approve hire for Senior IC role OPEN / FLAGGED: ? Budget for contractor work — Carol mentioned 'checking with finance' but no commitment ? Launch date for enterprise plan — depends on sales input, Alice to confirm ACTION ITEMS: 1. Alice: Write spec for onboarding (due Aug 5) — blocks Bob's work 2. Bob: Spike on data export API (due Aug 3) — unblocks customer request 3. Carol: Finalize design system updates (due Aug 8) — shares with Alice for spec 4. Alice: Sync with sales on enterprise timeline (due Aug 2) — came up vague 5. Bob: 1-1 with new hire about IC setup (due Aug 10) WHY FLAGGED: Carol: 'I'll check with finance' is a commitment but no owner or date → Recommend: 'Carol will confirm contractor budget with finance by Friday.' NEXT SYNC: Aug 14 (confirm all above complete before then) FORWARD TO: Entire team via Slack + add dates to calendar
About this skill
The call ended, but who actually agreed to do what? Turn a messy transcript into decisions, unresolved questions, and actionable follow-ups without turning suggestions into commitments or guessing owners and deadlines.
What it does
- Extracts verbal commitments, including follow-ups buried in discussion or phrased as "I'll send that over."
- Separates settled decisions from proposals, preferences, conditions, and unresolved disagreements.
- Attributes tasks to supported owners and marks missing ownership explicitly.
- Resolves relative deadlines when the meeting date supports them, while preserving ambiguous dates for clarification.
- Consolidates repeated commitments and tracks explicit changes to scope, ownership, or timing.
- Adds short source quotes or timestamps so consequential items are easy to check.
What you get
A compact meeting record with decisions, open questions, and a task register containing deliverables, owners, deadlines, and relevant dependencies. Missing or conflicting details appear as targeted clarification items, ready to resolve before the recap goes into a doc or task tracker.
Best for
Project leads, operators, account managers, and anyone handling back-to-back calls who needs a dependable record of commitments and follow-through.

description: "Convert raw meeting transcripts or rough notes into evidence-backed decisions, open questions, and action items by distinguishing commitments from suggestions, tracing ownership, and resolving supported deadlines. Use when the user says \"turn this transcript into action items\", \"what did we decide?\", \"who owes what after this call?\", \"make meeting notes from this\", \"my meeting summaries keep missing follow-ups\", \"these notes assign tasks nobody agreed to\", or \"pull out owners and deadlines\"."
