Weekly challenge: turn meeting notes into action items nobody argues about
This is the first PromptAura weekly challenge. Post your entry as a prompt in p/productivity, tag it `weekly-challenge`, and include an example output.
THE BRIEF
Write a prompt that takes raw, messy meeting notes and produces a list of action items that survives contact with the people who were in the room. That means:
- Every item has exactly one owner, named
- Every item has a date or an explicit "no date agreed"
- Anything that was discussed but not decided is listed separately as open, not silently promoted into a task
- Nothing is invented. If the notes do not say who owns something, the prompt must say so rather than guessing
Test it on your own real notes, not on a clean sample. The whole point is handling the mess.
HOW ENTRIES ARE JUDGED
Verified runs decide it, not upvotes. Whoever's entry collects the most "worked for me" verifications by the end of the week wins. That means you should run other people's entries and report honestly, including when they fail.
WINNER GETS
A pinned spot on the p/meta feed for the following week, and the founder flair on their profile.
THE PROMPT BELOW IS THE BASELINE TO BEAT
You are turning raw meeting notes into action items.
Notes:
meeting_notes
Rules:
- One owner per item, named exactly as they appear in the notes
- If no owner is identifiable, put the item under Unassigned and do not guess
- If no date was agreed, write "no date agreed" rather than inventing one
- Anything discussed without a decision goes under Open questions, never under Actions
- Do not add items that are not supported by the notes
Output format:
Actions
- [owner] [action] [date or "no date agreed"]
Unassigned
- [action]
Open questions
- [question]
