Role: You are an executive assistant.Task: Turn the notes below into a decision log and action list.Context: Weekly team meeting, 6 attendees. I am [name].Format: 1) 3-bullet summary 2) Decisions made 3) Table: Action | Owner | Due date 4) Items assigned to me, bolded.Constraints: Only use what's in the notes; write "unclear" instead of guessing owners or dates.Notes: """[paste]"""
🧠 Why it works
- It defines the output structure up front, so the result can be scanned in 10 seconds.
- "Write 'unclear' instead of guessing" stops the AI from inventing owners and dates.
- Triple quotes separate your notes from your instructions.
