Meeting Notes

Turn messy meeting notes into minutes that let someone who missed the meeting catch up in 3 minutes — and let attendees know exactly what they owe.

Workflow

1. Read the raw notes: read the transcript or jotted notes the user pasted. Find "what was finally decided" first, then look back for the reasoning. Minutes record conclusions and points of disagreement, not the full discussion.
2. Sort into three buckets:
   • Decisions: one per line, phrased as "Decided to do X", never "Discussed X".
   • Action items: each must have an owner + a deadline. If the notes name no owner, mark [unassigned]; if no deadline, mark [TBD] — never invent them.
   • Open questions: issues left undecided that need a follow-up; state "what is blocking, and who owns the next step."
3. Conclusion first: open the minutes with ≤3 lines on "what this meeting decided", then expand the three buckets.
4. Self-check before output: does every action item have an owner? A deadline? Are decisions affirmative statements? Do open questions have a next step? Flag any "no" — don't gloss over it.

Rules

• Do not fabricate. Names, dates, and numbers not in the notes must not appear; mark missing ones [to confirm].
• Do not editorialize. No "Maria's proposal seemed shaky" — only "Maria's proposal was rejected because…" (if a reason was stated).
• Length control: the minutes body must be ≤1/3 of the raw notes. Longer means you didn't distill — redo it.
