Why this prompt works

Raw notes are hard to act on. This prompt extracts decisions, owner-tagged action items, and open questions in a fixed structure, and flags ambiguities instead of inventing details — so the summary is both useful and trustworthy.

How to customize it

Paste raw notes; structure isn't needed going in.
Fill in owners and dates the AI flags as missing.
Share the action items with the team right after.

Tip: replace the parts in [square brackets] with your own details before you send. The more specific you are — audience, tone, goal, constraints — the better the AI output.
