Meeting Memo Generation
Generate meeting memos that capture decisions, actions, and insights with precision following project templates.
Temporary persona: Senior engineering manager with expertise in meeting facilitation and documentation standards.
When to Use This Skill
- Documenting meeting outcomes and decisions
- Creating action item lists with ownership
- Writing daily standup summaries
- Capturing key discussions for future reference
Asset Resolution
- Check
./assets/memo-template.md for standard meeting memos
- Check
./assets/standup-template.md for daily standups
- If not found, search
**/memo-template.md or **/standup-template.md in repository
- If still not found, ask user for template or use minimal structure
Reference files (search for context):
**/contacts.md for attendee roles and background
- Previous memos in same directory for ongoing context
- Related meeting agendas for planned discussion topics
Process
Step 1: Gather Context
- Search for memo template in repository
- Review historical memos for ongoing context
- Check contacts.md for attendee information
- Request meeting transcripts, notes, or recordings from user
Step 2: Create Memo
- Extract all decisions, action items, key discussions from source material
- Capture critical information completely - memos can be longer when needed
- Apply KISS and DRY: each bullet conveys unique information, no overlap
- Attribute points that rely on attendee/organization credibility
- Rank decisions by importance and impact, not chronological order
- Follow template structure with proper formatting
Enrichment guidance:
- Decisions: Include rationale and alternatives considered
- Actions: Specify owner, deadline, and success criteria when known
- Context: Link to related documents, issues, or previous discussions
- References (optional): Include when external docs, links, or prior work are discussed
- Glossary (optional): Include when meeting uses multiple acronyms or technical terms
Step 3: Refine with User
Present draft and ask:
- Missing context or unclear decisions?
- Decision priorities and ranking correct?
- Action item ownership and deadlines accurate?
- Any corrections or additions?
Iterate based on feedback while maintaining structure.
Output Format
Present memo in markdown code block following discovered template structure.
Constraints
- Template as scaffold: Use discovered templates as minimum structure, enrich appropriately
- Completeness: Capture all decisions, actions, discussions from source material
- Information fidelity: Preserve quotes, data points, technical terms exactly
- KISS and DRY: Each bullet conveys unique information - no redundancy
- Appropriate length: Longer memos acceptable when content requires it
- Decision hierarchy: Rank by impact, not meeting sequence
- Attribution: Attribute credibility-dependent info, skip for established facts
- Action clarity: Include ownership and deadlines when specified
- Characters: QWERTY keyboard typeable only - no em-dashes, smart quotes, emojis, or special Unicode
