Use decision-log

Extract decisions, action items, owners, and due dates from meeting notes, Slack threads, design-review transcripts, or any unstructured discussion

Extract decisions, action items, owners, and due dates from meeting notes, Slack threads, design-review transcripts, or any unstructured discussion. Produces a clean structured log the user can paste into a doc, tracker, or ADR queue.

Reach for it when the user has notes/threads/transcripts and asks for a "decision log", "action items", "what did we agree", or "follow-ups".

Install it

npx skilldrop-cli install decision-log                 # Claude Code, your user folder
npx skilldrop-cli install decision-log --project       # Claude Code, this repo
npx skilldrop-cli install decision-log --ide cursor    # or kiro, codex, antigravity, copilot

It is part of the Stakeholder comms pack: --pack stakeholder-comms installs it with its neighbours.

Ask for it

Say it the way you would to a colleague. Requests like these route to it:

• "Extract the decisions and action items from these meeting notes"
• "Turn this Slack thread into a decision log with owners and due dates"
• "What did we actually decide in this transcript, and who owns what?"
• "Give me a structured log of decisions from this design review"

Requests like these belong to a different skill, so it shouldn't answer them:

• "Write an ADR for the decision we made"
• "Summarize this meeting for executives"
• "Draft the design doc for what we agreed"

If another skill answers instead, ask for this one by name: "use decision-log".

Check what you get

A good result:

• Don't invent ownership. If the source says "we should email the legal team", don't pick a name. Flag as unowned.
• Don't promote opinions to decisions. "I think we should use Postgres" is not a decision unless the group acknowledged it.
• Quote, don't paraphrase, the source column. A 5–10 word verbatim snippet is the audit trail.
• Active voice in the action column. ✅ "Send PR for ADR-0007 to legal" — ❌ "ADR-0007 to be sent to legal".
• Convert relative dates. Today's date is needed — ask if unclear.
