description: Extracts key decisions and compiles a list of action items from a meeting transcript, used when the user asks to summarize decisions, list tasks, or get next steps from the transcript.
---
## Overview
Summarizes meeting transcript decisions and assigned action items. Produces a document with a one-paragraph recap, a bullet list of decisions, and a table of action items showing each item’s owner and due date. The output must contain exactly one entry for each decision and each assigned action item from the transcript, and each action item must list the correct owner.

## Prerequisites
- A meeting transcript or notes available as plain text

## Workflow
1. Read the entire transcript text.
2. Scan the text for sentences that state a decision and collect them.
3. Locate sentences that assign tasks, capture the task description, owner name, and due date.
4. Write a one‑paragraph summary of the meeting, list the collected decisions as bullet points, and create a table of action items with columns for owner and due date.
5. Return the document in plain text with the required structure.

## Example
Input:
```
Alice: We decided to launch the beta on Friday.
Bob: The mobile app will be postponed to next quarter.
Carol: Priya will finalize the release notes by Thursday.
Dave: Sam will email beta testers by Friday.
```

Output:
Recap: The team agreed to launch the beta on Friday and to postpone the mobile app to next quarter.

Decisions:
- Launch beta on Friday
- Mobile app postponed to next quarter

Action items:
| Owner | Task | Due |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Priya | Finalize release notes | Thu |
| Sam   | Email beta testers     | Fri |

## Rules
- Do NOT omit the name of the person who made a decision in the summary.
- Do NOT add any action item that was not explicitly assigned in the transcript.
- Do NOT summarize a decision in vague language; be specific about what was decided.
- Do NOT leave out any decision that appears in the transcript.
- Do NOT attribute an action item to the wrong person.
- Watch for writes more than one paragraph for the recap, a common way this goes wrong.
- Watch for leaves out the reason behind each decision, a common way this goes wrong.
- Watch for lists decisions without naming who made them, a common way this goes wrong.
- Watch for creates a bullet list with inconsistent punctuation, a common way this goes wrong.
- Watch for builds a table with missing columns or wrong order, a common way this goes wrong.
