Process Meeting Transcript

Overview

Process raw meeting transcripts into well-structured Obsidian notes with YAML frontmatter, extracted action items, meeting summary, and properly formatted transcript sections.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• User provides a raw meeting transcript (typically from Granola)
• User asks to "process a meeting transcript" or "format meeting notes"
• User points to a file containing an unprocessed transcript
• User pastes transcript content directly into the conversation

Workflow

Step 1: Read the Transcript

If the transcript is in a file, read the entire contents. If the user pasted the transcript directly, use that content.

Step 2: Extract Action Items

Carefully review the entire transcript to identify all action items, tasks, and commitments. Look for:

• Explicit commitments: "I'll do X", "Alex will review Y"
• Assigned tasks: "Nathan and Damian should schedule..."
• Follow-up items: "We need to...", "Let's make sure to..."
• Decisions requiring action: "We should deploy X before Y"

Format action items as:

• Bulleted list under # Action Items heading
• Use bold for person names when specific people are assigned
• Include context for what needs to be done and why
• Order by priority/importance when evident from discussion

Example format:

# Action Items

- **Alice & Bob**: Review the new feature implementation next week and provide feedback
- **Charlie & Dana**: Schedule a knowledge transfer session on the payment service architecture
- **Eve**: Discuss deployment timeline with the infrastructure team

Step 3: Create Meeting Summary

Write a comprehensive but concise summary that captures:

• Main topics discussed
• Key decisions made
• Technical architecture or approach agreed upon
• Timeline and next steps
• Important context or constraints

Structure the summary with:

• Opening paragraph: High-level overview of what was discussed and main outcome
• Subsections (using ## or ### headings) for major topics
• Use bold for important terms, decisions, or concepts
• Include enough detail that someone who wasn't in the meeting can understand what happened
