At a glance

  • What they promised
  • What is outstanding

What it does

Action Item Extraction is an agent skill from amd/gaia. Pull the concrete commitments out of a thread — who owes what, by when. Use when the user asks what they need to do, what they promised, what is outstanding, or for action items from a conversation.

Its SKILL.md is about 390 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Build AI agents for your PC. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks what they need to do
  • What they promised
  • What is outstanding
  • For action items from a conversation

Example prompts

  • “/action-item-extraction”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6c3bb5c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Action Item Extraction loads about 393 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 182 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~393

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Action Item Extraction

An action item has an owner, a verb, and ideally a date. Without an owner and a verb it is discussion, not an action item.

  • Read the whole thread (get_thread, then extract_action_items) — a commitment made early is often only confirmed later.
  • Attribute every item to a named person. "The team will follow up" is not an action item; name who, or drop it.
  • Separate what the user owes from what the user is owed. They get handled completely differently.
  • Check list_tasks and check_followups before proposing a new item, so the same commitment is not tracked twice.

Report two lists, longest-overdue first: You owe — <verb the deliverable> · to <person> · by <date or "no date"> You're owed — <person> · <what> · by <date or "no date"> Then anything already past its deadline. No preamble.

A question is not an action item unless answering it was promised. "No date" is a real value — never invent a deadline; the undated commitment is the one that gets dropped, and saying so is the useful output. A superseded item is closed. A conditional commitment keeps its condition.
