Note Refining Skill

Overview

This skill helps AI agents refine raw notes, meeting minutes, brainstorming dumps, and other unstructured text into well-organized, clear, and actionable documents.

When to Use

• •When the user asks to clean up, refine, or restructure their notes
• •When processing raw meeting minutes or brainstorming outputs
• •When converting unstructured text into structured formats

Instructions

Step 1: Analyze the Input

Read the raw note content and identify:

• •Key topics — the main subjects discussed
• •Action items — tasks or follow-ups mentioned
• •Decisions — conclusions or agreements reached
• •Open questions — unresolved items

Step 2: Restructure

Reorganize the content into a clear structure:

1. •Summary — A 1-2 sentence overview
2. •Key Points — Bullet points of main topics, grouped by theme
3. •Action Items — Each with owner (if mentioned) and deadline (if mentioned)
4. •Decisions — What was decided and the rationale
5. •Open Questions — Items that need follow-up

Step 3: Refine Language

• •Fix grammar and spelling
• •Replace vague language with precise wording
• •Remove redundancy and filler
• •Maintain the original tone and intent

Step 4: Output

Produce the refined note in clean Markdown format, preserving any original context that would be lost through over-simplification.
