What it does

Meeting Notes To Actions is an agent skill from sgharlow/claude-code-recipes. Turn raw meeting notes into a shareable summary, an action-item table with owners and deadlines, and follow-up email drafts. Use when the user says "process my meeting notes", "extract action items", "who owns what from this meeting", or "draft the follow-ups" — or pastes messy notes right after a meeting.

Its SKILL.md is about 560 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `evals/extract-actions.md`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Meeting notes and agendas and Email writing. The repository describes itself as: 100 field-tested Claude Code recipes for knowledge workers — prompts, steps, and 6 installable graded skills.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says process my meeting notes
  • Extract action items
  • Who owns what from this meeting
  • Draft the follow-ups —

Example prompts

  • “process my meeting notes”
  • “extract action items”
  • “who owns what from this meeting”
  • “/meeting-notes-to-actions”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Get the notes. Accept pasted text, a file path, or a transcript. If the notes name
  2. Extract, citing the notes
  3. Render three outputs in this order
  4. Verify before presenting: every action item in the table must trace to a line in the

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9157c9a. 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

Meeting Notes To Actions loads about 558 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 279 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~83
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~558

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 279 words (~558 tokens).

“Convert disorganized meeting notes into structured accountability: a clean summary, an action-item table, and a personalized follow-up draft per owner. Work only from what the notes actually say — never invent owners, deadlines, or decisions that are not in the…”
