Meeting Action Extractor

What this skill does

Parses raw meeting transcript text and extracts every action item mentioned, whether stated explicitly ("I'll do X by Friday") or implied ("can you send that report?"). For each action item, identifies: what needs to be done, who is responsible, when it's due, and the priority level. Also generates a 2–3 sentence meeting summary.

Inputs

• transcript — raw text of the meeting transcript, notes, or chat log
• meeting_date — date the meeting occurred in YYYY-MM-DD format; used to resolve relative deadlines like "next Thursday" into absolute dates

Outputs

• action_items — list of {task, owner, deadline, priority, source_quote} objects
• summary — 2–3 sentence plain-English summary of the meeting discussion
• owner_list — deduplicated list of people who were assigned at least one task

Priority levels

• high — explicit deadline pressure or blocking other work
• normal — standard task with a clear owner
• low — mentioned but not urgently owned

Example input

Sarah: I'll update the landing page copy by end of week.
John: Can you also send the budget numbers to finance by Thursday?
Sarah: Sure. Mike, can you follow up with the vendor on the Q3 contract?
