Workflow

Step 1: Load Transcript

Read the transcript file. Handle both JSON (Meetily format) and plain text.

For Meetily JSON:

{
  "segments": [
    {"speaker": "Speaker 1", "text": "...", "start": 0.0, "end": 5.0}
  ]
}

For plain text, use as-is.

Step 2: Load Template

Search for template in order:

1. •/Users/hd/Projects/.cursor/call_transcript_templates/{template}.md
2. •/Users/hd/Projects/hack/claude_calls/templates/{template}.md

Template names are case-insensitive and accept hyphen/underscore variants:

• •first-call = first_call = first_call.md
• •tech-diligence-call = tech_diligence_call

Step 3: Apply Template

Process the transcript through the template prompt. The template contains the extraction instructions.

For templates with {{TRANSCRIPT}} placeholder, substitute the transcript content. For VC templates (raw prompts), prepend the transcript and apply the template.

Step 4: Output Summary

Write output to summary.md in the same directory as the transcript.

CRITICAL: Format for Slack mrkdwn:

• •Use *bold* not **bold**
• •Use _italic_ not *italic*
• •Use - for bullets, no nesting beyond 2 levels
• •Code blocks with triple backticks work
• •No headers (#) - use *Section Name* with bold instead
• •Keep under 1000 words for maximum nuance density

Example Output Path

Input: ~/Movies/meetily-recordings/Meeting 2026-01-21/transcripts.json Output: ~/Movies/meetily-recordings/Meeting 2026-01-21/summary.md

Template Directories

Template Development

General templates use this format:

# Template Name

## Purpose
What this template extracts

## Prompt
The actual extraction prompt with {{TRANSCRIPT}} placeholder

VC templates are raw prompts - just the instructions, the transcript will be prepended.
