# Meeting notes format

Use when raw discussion must become decisions, open questions, and owned actions.

## Great instance

- Starts with decisions, not transcript.
- Gives each action one owner and due date.
- Captures unresolved questions separately from actions.
- Keeps discussion notes short and attributable only when useful.

## Cut

- Chronological transcript.
- Actions with shared owners.
- Decisions phrased as maybes.

## Skeleton

```markdown
# Meeting notes: <topic>, <date>

## Decisions
- <decision, owner of record>

## Actions
- [ ] <owner> by <date>: <action>

## Open questions
- <question, who can answer, by when>

## Notes
<only context needed to understand the decisions>
```

## Section prompts

- Convert discussion into outcomes.
- Keep every action as one list item.
- Use absolute due dates when available.
- Move background below decisions and actions.
