What it does

Granola Core Workflow A is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Meeting preparation and template setup in Granola — templates, recipes, and pre-meeting workflows. Use when configuring note templates for 1:1s, standups, discovery calls, or sprint planning, creating custom recipes, or preparing agenda notes before important meetings. Trigger: "granola template", "granola meeting prep", "granola recipe", "granola agenda".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Sales & Support, covering Sales call preparation, Meeting notes and agendas and Sprint planning and agile. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Configuring note templates for 1:1s
  • Discovery calls
  • Sprint planning
  • Creating custom recipes

Example prompts

  • “granola template”
  • “granola meeting prep”
  • “granola recipe”
  • “/granola-core-workflow-a”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Choose a Built-in Template
  2. Create a Custom Template
  3. Create Recipes for Granola Chat
  4. Pre-Meeting Preparation
  5. Set Template Defaults per Workspace

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • granola.ai
    • docs.granola.ai

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Granola Core Workflow A loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 623 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~96
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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.

Granola Core Workflow A: Meeting Preparation & Templates

Overview

Configure Granola templates (which structure the enhanced output) and recipes (repeatable Chat prompts) for consistent, high-quality meeting notes. Granola ships with 29 built-in templates and supports custom templates per workspace.

Prerequisites

  • Granola installed and authenticated
  • Calendar synced with upcoming meetings
  • At least one meeting captured (to understand the enhancement flow)

Instructions

Step 1 — Choose a Built-in Template

Click the Change template icon at the bottom of your notes before or during a meeting:

TemplateBest ForSections Generated
1-on-1Manager/report check-insCheck-in, Updates, Discussion, Action Items
Stand-upDaily syncProgress, Blockers, Priorities
Discovery CallSales prospectingBudget, Authority, Need, Timeline (BANT)
Sprint PlanningAgile ceremoniesSprint Goals, Velocity, Backlog, Risks
Weekly TeamStatus meetingsUpdates, Decisions, Action Items
Interview DebriefHiring loopsCandidate Assessment, Strengths, Concerns
Project Kick-OffNew initiativesGoals, Scope, Timeline, RACI
Pipeline ReviewSales forecastDeal Status, Next Steps, Risks
Design CritCreative reviewFeedback, Changes Requested, Approvals

Templates tell the AI how to structure the enhanced output — a sales call produces different sections than a standup.

Step 2 — Create a Custom Template
  1. Open Granola Settings > Templates
  2. Click Create New Template
  3. Define the structure using section headers:
markdown
## Customer Feedback Session

### Context
[Brief on the customer and their product usage]

### Key Feedback Themes
[Grouped by category: UX, Performance, Features, Support]

### Verbatim Quotes
[Direct customer quotes with timestamps]

### Severity Assessment
[Critical / High / Medium / Low for each issue]

### Action Items
[Owner, task, due date]

### Follow-Up Commitment
[What we promised the customer and by when]
  1. Name it and optionally set auto-trigger conditions:
    • Calendar event title contains specific keywords (e.g., "feedback", "customer")
    • Attendee email domains (e.g., @customer.com)
Step 3 — Create Recipes for Granola Chat

Recipes are saved prompts invoked with / in Granola Chat:

RecipePromptUse Case
/follow-up"Draft a professional follow-up email summarizing decisions and next steps"Post-meeting email
/standup"Extract blockers, progress updates, and priorities per person"Standup summary
/bant"Analyze this call using BANT framework (Budget, Authority, Need, Timeline)"Sales qualification
/prd"Write a PRD based on the product requirements discussed in this meeting"Product spec
/coaching"Based on this 1:1, suggest coaching points and development areas"Manager prep
/decision-log"List all decisions made, who made them, and the reasoning"Governance

Create custom recipes at Settings > Recipes or directly in Chat.

Step 4 — Pre-Meeting Preparation

Before important meetings, type context into the Granola notepad before the call starts:

markdown
## Pre-Meeting Context
- Last meeting: discussed Series A timeline, concerns about runway
- Open items: term sheet review, board seat allocation
- My goals today: confirm valuation range, discuss liquidation preference
- Questions to ask: timeline for closing, co-investor status

When you click Enhance Notes after the meeting, Granola combines:

  1. Your pre-meeting context
  2. Your live notes during the meeting
  3. The full audio transcript

This produces output that is aware of your goals and prior context.

Step 5 — Set Template Defaults per Workspace

For team deployments, set default templates per shared folder:

FolderDefault TemplateAuto-Apply
#sales-callsDiscovery CallEvents with external attendees
#engineeringSprint PlanningEvents titled "sprint" or "planning"
#leadershipWeekly TeamEvents with >5 attendees
#interviewsInterview DebriefEvents titled "interview"

Output

  • Templates configured for each meeting type
  • Custom recipes created for post-meeting workflows
  • Pre-meeting context workflow established
  • Consistent structured output across team meetings

Error Handling

IssueCauseFix
Wrong template appliedAuto-trigger matched incorrectlyNarrow trigger conditions (more specific keywords)
Template sections emptyMeeting lacked relevant discussionRemove irrelevant sections from template
Recipe not appearingNot saved to workspaceSave recipe in Settings > Recipes
Pre-meeting notes lostTyped in wrong appEnsure you type in the Granola notepad, not a separate editor

Template Design Best Practices

  1. Use clear section headers — Granola's AI parses headers to organize content
  2. Include bracketed hints — [Owner, task, due date] guides the AI output format
  3. Keep templates under 10 sections — too many sections dilute content
  4. Add a "Verbatim Quotes" section for customer-facing meetings — captures exact language
  5. End with "Action Items" and "Next Steps" — the AI reliably fills these

Examples

For a fictional meeting fixture, record fixture=meeting-basic-v2; capture=accepted; output=redacted-summary; consent=test-only; retention=none; cleanup=complete rather than storing notes or transcript text.
