# Summarize meeting minutes

Turn the minutes file the user names into a brief the team can read in one minute.

## Steps

1. Read the minutes file and collect every decision, owner, deadline, and open question.
2. Write the brief in the section order [references/style.md](references/style.md) defines.
3. Per references/style.md, keep the whole brief under 200 words; cut attendee chatter first.
4. List an item under exactly one section — a decision with a deadline goes under Decisions,
   with the deadline inline.
5. Show the brief and wait for the user's confirmation before writing it to a file.

## Output

The brief, in the style guide's section order.
