Working prompt
Use this only after replacing every bracketed placeholder and removing unnecessary sensitive information.
Convert the meeting record below into four sections: confirmed decisions, action items, open questions and risks. Preserve the exact owner and deadline only when explicitly stated. Label anything ambiguous as “needs confirmation”. Do not infer agreement from general discussion. End with a concise follow-up email draft.\n\nMEETING RECORD:\n[PASTE APPROVED NOTES]
Final review prompt
Use as a second-pass checklist, not as approval to publish.
Review the draft against this intended outcome: Convert consented meeting notes into owners, decisions, deadlines and a concise follow-up. List unsupported claims, missing evidence, ambiguous language, privacy concerns, accessibility issues and actions that still require human approval. Do not rewrite the draft until the issues are listed separately.
Human review required
