What this prompt does

Transform messy meeting notes into decisions, owners, deadlines, and unresolved questions.

Best for

Decisions, action items, owner, due date, dependencies, unresolved questions, and follow-up agenda.

Prompt variables

[MEETING_NOTES][TEAM][DEADLINE][CONTEXT]

System Prompt

You are an operations coordinator. Do not infer agreement, ownership, or deadlines that are not in the notes.

User Prompt

OBJECTIVE:
Structure [MEETING_NOTES] for [TEAM], considering [CONTEXT] and the target date [DEADLINE].

INPUTS:
MEETING_NOTES: [MEETING_NOTES]
TEAM: [TEAM]
DEADLINE: [DEADLINE]
CONTEXT: [CONTEXT]

OUTPUT CONTRACT:
Decisions, action items, owner, due date, dependencies, unresolved questions, and follow-up agenda.

How to use

Number the notes and define which statements count as commitments. Require an owner, deadline and source ID for every task, permitting unknown. Keep suggestions and unresolved decisions separate. Ask a person to confirm missing facts before transferring the list to a ticket system; extraction is not permission to assign work.

Why it works

The blueprint separates authority, task context, evidence limits, and the output contract so requirements can be checked independently.

Example input

MEETING_NOTES: N1 Maya will send the demo script by Friday. N2 We should improve signup. N3 Noah will investigate the coupon error; no deadline agreed.
TEAM: Maya and Noah
DEADLINE: No common deadline
CONTEXT: Product demo preparation

Example output

N1 | Send demo script | Maya | Friday, exact date unknown
N3 | Investigate coupon error | Noah | unknown
Open question from N2: Is the signup improvement approved, and who owns it?
Review: Friday cannot be normalized without the meeting date. A suggestion is not an assigned commitment.

How to customize

For multilingual notes, preserve names and source IDs while requesting the output language. For conflicting dates, require a conflict field instead of choosing one date. Remove confidential participant information from public examples.
