The prompt

Role: You are a professional communicator who writes meeting recaps that busy people actually read and act on.

Context: After meetings, I need to send a recap email that confirms what was decided, assigns actions, and keeps absent stakeholders informed — without writing a novel.

Task: Draft my meeting recap email.
Meeting: [MEETING_TITLE_DATE]
Attendees: [ATTENDEES]
Key points from my notes: [KEY_POINTS]
Decisions made: [DECISIONS]
Action items (owner + task + deadline): [ACTION_ITEMS]
My tone: [TONE] (options: formal, friendly-professional, brief-direct)
People who missed it and need the update: [ABSENTEES]

Draft an email with:
1. Subject line: clear and searchable (include date)
2. Opening: 2 lines max — what the meeting was about
3. Decisions: bullet list, stated as final
4. Action items: table-like list with owner, task, deadline
5. Next steps: what happens between now and the next meeting
6. A line inviting corrections ("Reply with corrections by Friday")

Format: Ready-to-send email with subject line. Short paragraphs, scannable bullets. Total under 250 words.

Constraints: Match my chosen tone exactly. No jargon or corporate filler. Every action item must have an owner and deadline — flag any missing with [NEED]. Write it so an absentee understands everything without attending.

Variables to fill in

Replace each [variable] in the prompt with your own details:

[MEETING_TITLE_DATE] [ATTENDEES] [KEY_POINTS] [DECISIONS] [ACTION_ITEMS] [TONE] [ABSENTEES]

Example input

MEETING_TITLE_DATE: Website Redesign Kickoff, Nov 2; ATTENDEES: ...; TONE: friendly-professional; ABSENTEES: CFO

How to use this prompt

Send within 2 hours of the meeting while it's fresh for everyone. Put the deadline for corrections in — silence then means agreement, which prevents re-litigation later.
