Meeting

Skill: /meeting

Process a raw Inbox note into a structured Meetings note with key points, actions, and a Person stub — the Inbox item is deleted (or archived) after.

Don't: use this for general note-taking — use /log for that. Don't archive instead of deleting unless Shane says so — default is delete.

Steps

1. Find the raw note

   • If the user named a note (e.g. "Chat with Sean"), run: obsidian search query='Chat with Sean' to confirm it exists, then obsidian read file='Chat with Sean'
   • If no name given, run ls "~/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~md~obsidian/Documents/Personal/Inbox/" and pick the most recently modified non-fixture file, then obsidian read file='Note Name' (strip .md)
   • Read the full note content

2. Extract structured content

   • Identify the other person(s) in the conversation
   • Extract key points: meaningful decisions, context shared, topics discussed — one tight bullet per point, no filler
   • Separate action items into two buckets:
     • Shane's actions (owner implied)
     • Their actions (prefix with PersonName:)

3. Write the processed note

   • Determine the date from the filename or content (format: YYYY-MM-DD)
   • Run obsidian create name='Meetings/[original filename without .md]' silent with the following content:

   ---
   date: YYYY-MM-DD
   people: [[People/PersonName]]
   ---
   
   # [Title] — [Month Day]
   
   ## Key Points
   - (bullet per meaningful point, concise)
   
   ## Actions
   - [ ] (Shane's action items)
   - [ ] PersonName: (their action items)
   

4. Check/create Person note

   • Run obsidian read file='PersonName' — if it errors or returns empty, the note doesn't exist
   • If missing, run obsidian create name='People/PersonName' silent with this stub:

   ---
   type: person
   role: 
   ---
   
   # PersonName
   
   ## Context
   - 
   
   ## Preferences & Working Style
   -
   
   ## Related
   

5. Handle the raw Inbox note

   • Delete the raw note from Inbox/ using bash (obsidian CLI has no delete command): rm "~/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~md~obsidian/Documents/Personal/Inbox/[filename].md"
   • Or move to Archive/ if user prefers to keep it
   • Default: delete unless user says otherwise

6. Commit vault changes

   VAULT="$HOME/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~md~obsidian/Documents/Personal"
   git -C "$VAULT" add '<the note paths you wrote>' && git -C "$VAULT" commit -m "docs: process meeting note [filename]"
   

7. Confirm

   • Tell Shane what was written and where
   • Surface any action items that need immediate attention
