COG Meeting Transcript Skill
When to Invoke
- User shares a meeting transcript or recording notes
- User says "process meeting", "meeting notes", "meeting transcript"
- User has a block of text from a meeting they want structured
- User mentions wanting to extract action items from a meeting
Agent Mode Awareness
Check agent_mode in 00-inbox/MY-PROFILE.md frontmatter:
- If
agent_mode: team— use the full parallel agent execution strategy below (3 agents) - If
agent_mode: solo— process sequentially: extract content first, then analyze dynamics, then enrich with context.
Purpose
Extract strategic insights from meeting recordings and notes with intelligent content filtering to focus on substantive, actionable content while removing noise and irrelevant information.
Command: /meeting-transcript
Parallel Agent Team Execution Strategy
Use parallel agents to process different aspects of the transcript simultaneously.
Phase 1: Setup (Orchestrator)
- Receive transcript content from user
- Detect content type (meeting vs braindump) and classify domain
- Split transcript into logical sections for parallel processing
Phase 2: Parallel Processing (Spawn 2-3 Agents Simultaneously)
Launch ALL agents in a single message using Task tool with run_in_background: true:
Agent 1: "content-extractor" (subagent_type: general-purpose)
Extract structured content from the meeting transcript.
1. Filter out side chats, technical difficulties, and irrelevant banter
2. Identify and extract: decisions made (with rationale), action items (with owners/deadlines), strategic themes
3. Capture key quotes and insights from participants
4. Note unresolved issues and follow-up needs
Return: Decisions list, action items list, strategic themes, key quotes, unresolved issues.Agent 2: "dynamics-analyst" (subagent_type: general-purpose)
Analyze team dynamics and meeting effectiveness.
1. Assess communication patterns and participation levels
2. Identify leadership moments and collaboration quality
3. Evaluate decision-making process effectiveness
4. Assess meeting efficiency (time well spent vs wasted)
5. Note any tensions, disagreements, or alignment issues
Return: Team dynamics assessment, participation analysis, meeting effectiveness score.Agent 3: "context-enricher" (subagent_type: general-purpose)
Enrich meeting content with project/product context.
1. If project-related: read recent braindumps and notes for context
2. Check if discussed topics relate to known issues/PRs on GitHub
3. Connect decisions to existing strategic priorities
4. Identify competitive intelligence if competitors mentioned
Return: Contextual connections, related documents, strategic alignment notes.Phase 3: Assembly (Orchestrator)
- Collect results from all processing agents
- Assemble structured meeting summary following Content Structure template
- Add proper metadata (participants, duration, type, action item count)
- Save to appropriate domain meeting folder
- Flag urgent action items for immediate attention
Content Filtering Guidelines
EXCLUDE (Filter Out)
- Side Conversations: "Hey, did you see the game last night?"
- Technical Difficulties: "Can you hear me now?" "Your mic is muted"
- Incomplete Thoughts: "So I was thinking we should... never mind"
- Casual Banter: Weather, personal anecdotes unrelated to work
- Interruptions: "Sorry, I have to take this call"
- Unclear Statements: Mumbled or inaudible content
INCLUDE (Keep and Analyze)
- Strategic Discussions: Market analysis, competitive positioning
- Decision Points: "We've decided to move forward with Option A"
- Action Items: "Alex will complete the analysis by Friday"
- Problem Solving: Discussion of challenges and proposed solutions
- Planning: Timeline discussions, resource allocation
- Insights: "The key insight is that customers want..."
- Concerns: "My concern is that this approach might..."

2. Key Decisions (Verified Content Only)
- Decision: What was decided
- Rationale: Why this decision was made
- Owner: Who is responsible for implementation
- Timeline: When decision takes effect
- Impact: Expected outcomes and implications
3. Action Items (Substantive Only)
- Task: Specific action to be taken
- Owner: Person responsible
- Deadline: When it's due
- Dependencies: What needs to happen first
- Success Criteria: How completion will be measured
4. Strategic Themes (From Substantial Discussion)

Content Filtering Protocol
Step 1: Initial Scan
- Identify meeting phases (intro, main discussion, wrap-up)
- Mark obvious side conversations and technical issues
- Flag incomplete or unclear statements
Step 2: Relevance Assessment
- Evaluate each segment for strategic value
- Determine if content relates to meeting objectives
- Assess completeness and accuracy of information
Step 3: Accuracy Verification
- Cross-check contradictory statements
- Flag information that seems incorrect
- Note areas requiring clarification
Step 4: Context Preservation
- Ensure decisions have sufficient context
- Maintain background for action items
- Preserve strategic discussion flow
Quality Assurance
Verification Standards
- All decisions must have clear context and rationale
- Action items must have specific owners and deadlines
- Strategic themes must be supported by substantial discussion
- Team dynamics assessment must be based on observable patterns
Uncertainty Handling
- Flag potentially incorrect information for user confirmation
- State confidence levels for interpretations
- Request clarification for ambiguous content
- Explicitly note when information is incomplete
Integration with Daily Brief
Meeting notes processed by this command feed directly into the daily brief:
- Phase 2, Agent 3 (
meeting-reviewer) scans for recent meeting files - Phase 3 cross-references action items against GitHub PRs and Linear issues
- Section 13 (
Meeting Follow-Up Tracker) tracks commitment completion
This creates accountability: decisions and action items from meetings are automatically tracked against actual execution in code and project management tools.
Learning Integration
- Track meeting effectiveness patterns over time
- Identify successful decision-making processes
- Learn team communication preferences
- Adapt filtering based on user feedback on relevance
