# Meeting notes to memo

Turn messy notes into a memo somebody will actually read.

## Steps

1. Read the notes and work out what was decided, what was only discussed, and what is still open. These are different things and most notes blur them.
2. Write the memo in this order, and skip any section that would be empty:

   **Decisions.** One line each, in the past tense, naming who decided if the notes say.
   **Owners.** Who is doing what by when. If a date was not given, write "no date given" rather than inventing one.
   **Open questions.** The things nobody settled.
   **Context.** Only if a reader who missed the meeting would be lost without it. Two sentences at most.

3. Keep the whole memo under 200 words unless the notes genuinely carry more.

## Rules

- Never invent an owner, a date or a decision. If the notes are ambiguous, put the item under Open questions and say what is unclear.
- Strip the chat: greetings, tangents, and who said hello.
- Use the words the meeting used. If they said "the Preston job", do not translate it to "the client engagement".
- If the notes contain something that reads as sensitive, for example someone's performance or pay, leave it out of the memo and tell the user you did.

## Output

Plain markdown, ready to paste into email or Slack. No preamble, no "here is your memo". Start at the first heading.
