Meeting Minutes Generator

When to Use

• Use this skill when the request matches its documented task boundary.
• Use it when the user can provide the required inputs and expects a structured deliverable.
• Prefer this skill for repeatable, checklist-driven execution rather than open-ended brainstorming.

Key Features

• Scope-focused workflow aligned to: Generates structured meeting minutes from text transcripts. Use when the user provides text content and wants a structured summary with a signature.
• Documentation-first workflow with no packaged script requirement.
• Reference material available in references/ for task-specific guidance.
• Structured execution path designed to keep outputs consistent and reviewable.

Dependencies

• Python: 3.10+. Repository baseline for current packaged skills.
• Third-party packages: not explicitly version-pinned in this skill package. Add pinned versions if this skill needs stricter environment control.

Example Usage

Skill directory: 20260316/scientific-skills/Others/meeting-minutes-generator
No packaged executable script was detected.
Use the documented workflow in SKILL.md together with the references/assets in this folder.

Example run plan:

1. Read the skill instructions and collect the required inputs.
2. Follow the documented workflow exactly.
3. Use packaged references/assets from this folder when the task needs templates or rules.
4. Return a structured result tied to the requested deliverable.

Implementation Details

See ## Workflow above for related details.

• Execution model: validate the request, choose the packaged workflow, and produce a bounded deliverable.
• Input controls: confirm the source files, scope limits, output format, and acceptance criteria before running any script.
• Primary implementation surface: instruction-only workflow in SKILL.md.
• Reference guidance: references/ contains supporting rules, prompts, or checklists.
• Parameters to clarify first: input path, output path, scope filters, thresholds, and any domain-specific constraints.
• Output discipline: keep results reproducible, identify assumptions explicitly, and avoid undocumented side effects.

Inputs

• transcript (required) — Meeting text transcript

• title (optional) — Meeting title

• meeting_type (required) — One of:

  • Work Report
  • Client Communication
  • Other

---

Workflow

1. Input Analysis

• Validate transcript text exists and is readable.
• Identify title if provided.
• Confirm meeting type is valid.

---

2. Processing

From the transcript, extract:

• Participants
• Key discussion topics
• Decisions made
• Action items
• Next steps

Ignore irrelevant or duplicated content.

---

3. Generation

• Retrieve current system time in format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.
• Generate structured meeting minutes.
• Ensure output ends with the timestamp line.

---

Output Format

Meeting Title:
Meeting Type:
Participants:

Key Topics Discussed:
- ...

Decisions Made:
- ...

Action Items:
- Responsible Person — Task — Deadline

Next Steps:
- ...

Prepared Time: <Current Time>

---

Constraints

• Transcript must contain valid text.
• Output must follow the structured format.
• No hallucinated facts; only use transcript content.
• Timestamp must be included at the end.

---

Behavior Notes

• If participants are unclear, output "Not specified".
• If no decisions or action items are found, output "None identified".
• Keep language concise and professional.
• Preserve important numbers, dates, and commitments exactly.

When Not to Use

• Do not use this skill when the required source data, identifiers, files, or credentials are missing.
• Do not use this skill when the user asks for fabricated results, unsupported claims, or out-of-scope conclusions.
• Do not use this skill when a simpler direct answer is more appropriate than the documented workflow.

Required Inputs

• A clearly specified task goal aligned with the documented scope.
• All required files, identifiers, parameters, or environment variables before execution.
• Any domain constraints, formatting requirements, and expected output destination if applicable.

Output Contract

• Return a structured deliverable that is directly usable without reformatting.
• If a file is produced, prefer a deterministic output name such as meeting_minutes_generator_result.md unless the skill documentation defines a better convention.
• Include a short validation summary describing what was checked, what assumptions were made, and any remaining limitations.

Validation and Safety Rules

• Validate required inputs before execution and stop early when mandatory fields or files are missing.
• Do not fabricate measurements, references, findings, or conclusions that are not supported by the provided source material.
• Emit a clear warning when credentials, privacy constraints, safety boundaries, or unsupported requests affect the result.
• Keep the output safe, reproducible, and within the documented scope at all times.

Failure Handling

• If validation fails, explain the exact missing field, file, or parameter and show the minimum fix required.
• If an external dependency or script fails, surface the command path, likely cause, and the next recovery step.
• If partial output is returned, label it clearly and identify which checks could not be completed.

Quick Validation

Run this minimal verification path before full execution when possible:

No local script validation step is required for this skill.

Expected output format:

Result file: meeting_minutes_generator_result.md
Validation summary: PASS/FAIL with brief notes
Assumptions: explicit list if any
