Meeting Transcript

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)

1. Receive transcript content from user
2. Detect content type (meeting vs braindump) and classify domain
3. 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)

1. Collect results from all processing agents
2. Assemble structured meeting summary following Content Structure template
3. Add proper metadata (participants, duration, type, action item count)
4. Save to appropriate domain meeting folder
5. 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..."

4. Strategic Themes (From Substantial Discussion)

• Theme: Major topic or pattern discussed
• Context: Why this theme is important
• Implications: What this means for the team/project
• Next Steps: How to address or leverage this theme

5. Unresolved Issues
