Track -- Monitor progress via dashboard; update status as work progresses 4. Follow-Up -- Follow cadence based on priority level 5. Close -- Mark complete when done; archive for audit trail

Troubleshooting

ProblemCauseSolution
Brief missing type-specific sectionsWrong meeting type selectedReview meeting type descriptions; select the most specific type
Participants not formattedJSON format errorUse valid JSON array: '[{"name":"X","org":"Y","role":"Z"}]'
Action items not persistingTracker uses file-based storageEnsure write permissions in working directory; check action_items.json
Dashboard shows stale dataCached data from previous runRe-run dashboard command; items are loaded fresh from storage
Overdue items not flaggedClock/timezone mismatchVerify system date; deadlines use YYYY-MM-DD format
Agenda items not populatingComma-separated format expectedUse --agenda "Item 1,Item 2,Item 3" format
Brief too genericMinimal parameters providedAdd participants, agenda, and type-specific context
Action item ID not foundItem was completed or deletedRun list --filter-status all to see all items including completed

Success Criteria

  • Preparation Coverage: Every legal meeting has a briefing covering all relevant sections for its type
  • Action Item Capture: 100% of action items captured with owner, deadline, and priority within 24 hours
  • On-Time Completion: 90%+ of action items completed by deadline
  • Meeting Effectiveness: Participants report improved preparation and productivity (measured by survey)
  • Follow-Up Compliance: High-priority items followed up daily; medium weekly; low monthly

Scope & Limitations

This skill covers:

  • Meeting briefing generation with type-specific sections for 8 meeting types
  • Action item tracking with CRUD operations, filtering, and status dashboard
  • Follow-up cadence management based on priority levels
  • Preparation gap identification for pre-meeting readiness

This skill does NOT cover:

  • Calendar integration or meeting scheduling
  • Real-time meeting notes or transcription
  • Email drafting or distribution of briefings
  • Document management or version control for meeting materials
  • Video conferencing or collaboration tool integration

Anti-Patterns

Anti-PatternWhy It FailsBetter Approach
Generic briefing for all meeting typesMisses type-specific concerns; wastes prep time on irrelevant sectionsSelect correct meeting type; use type-specific guidance
Capturing action items days after meetingDetails forgotten; ownership unclear; deadlines slipCapture during meeting or within 2 hours; use tracker immediately
Single owner for all itemsCreates bottleneck; no accountability for individual tasksAssign specific owner per item; each item has exactly one owner
No follow-up on action itemsItems go stale; commitments missed; trust erodesFollow cadence: high=daily, medium=weekly, low=monthly
Skipping privilege considerations for regulatory meetingsInadvertent privilege waiver; disclosed protected communicationsAlways complete privilege section for regulatory/government meetings
