Updated · written with AI from the project's own documentation and checked against our catalogue data
The Meeting Notes skill is a formatting template for AI agents. You give the agent the details of a meeting in text, and it lays them out as a clean, styled HTML page with a title bar, agenda checklist, decisions, action items and a next-meeting footer. This guide explains what agent skills are, how to install this one, how to ask for it, and what to watch for.

What is an agent skill, and what does this one make the agent do?
An agent skill is a folder of instructions that an AI agent can load when a task matches it. The main file is SKILL.md, which describes when to use the skill and how to format the output.
This skill is a template for meeting minutes. It tells the agent to organise your meeting details into a fixed layout: a title bar with the meeting name, time and attendees; an agenda checklist; a decisions block; an action items table with Owner, Due and Status columns; and a footer for the next meeting. The agent fills that layout with whatever you provide.
- Title bar with meeting name, time and attendees
- Agenda checklist
- Decisions block shown as rounded cards
- Action items table with Owner, Due and Status
- Next meeting footer
Install the Meeting Notes skill
Download the ZIP for this skill from the page where you found this guide. Unzip it, then place the resulting folder in one of two locations: ~/.claude/skills/ for your personal skills, or .claude/skills/ inside a project if you want the skill only for that project.
If you use the Claude apps instead, open Settings, go to Capabilities, then Skills, and upload the skill there.
- Personal install: unzip into ~/.claude/skills/
- Project install: unzip into .claude/skills/ in your project folder
- Claude apps: Settings → Capabilities → Skills, then upload
~/.claude/skills/How to trigger the skill with natural requests
You do not need a special command. Describe the meeting and ask for meeting notes in the layout you want. The agent will load the skill when your request matches its purpose.
Include the details you have: meeting name, date and time, who attended, the agenda, what was decided, and the action items with owners and due dates. The more specific your input, the cleaner the table will be. The skill only formats text you supply, so missing details will be missing from the page.
- Ask for meeting notes or minutes as an HTML page
- Paste your rough notes, even if they are messy
- Name the owner and due date for each action item
Examples of requests you can make
A weekly team sync: paste the agenda and bullet points from the call, and ask for a shareable HTML summary with action items assigned to each person.
A 1:1 with a direct report: give the topics discussed, the one decision made and two follow-up tasks, and ask for a tidy record with the next meeting date in the footer.
What the skill needs and safety notes
The skill lists no requirements. It does not run scripts and does not use the network, according to its listing. It works only from the text you give it.
The skill cannot record or transcribe audio, and it cannot capture what was said in a meeting. Because the agent writes the content into a file, review the generated HTML before sharing it, especially for confidential or sensitive meetings.
- Requirements: none listed
- Runs scripts: no
- Uses network: no
- Audio recording or transcription: not supported
Tips for better meeting notes
Write action items as a person, a task and a date. This gives the Owner, Due and Status columns real content. Check the example.html file included with the skill to see the intended look before you run it on your own meeting.
- Keep the agenda short and in the order discussed
- Record decisions as full sentences so they stand alone
- Review names and dates before sharing the page
What people use it for
- Turning a weekly team sync into a shareable HTML summary with owners and deadlines
- Keeping a tidy record of recurring 1:1 meetings with the next meeting date in the footer
- Producing consistent minutes across several teams using the same layout
- Converting rough typed notes into a styled page with a decisions section
Frequently asked questions
How do I install the meeting notes agent skill?
Download the skill ZIP from this page and unzip it. Place the folder in ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use or in .claude/skills/ inside a project. In the Claude apps, you can instead upload it under Settings, Capabilities, then Skills.
Is the meeting notes skill free to use?
The skill is licensed under Apache-2.0, as listed on its page. This guide does not state pricing for any other service you might use with it.
Does the skill record or transcribe my meetings?
No. It only formats text you provide and cannot capture what was said in a meeting. You need to supply the agenda, decisions and action items yourself.
What does the skill require to run?
Its listing shows no requirements. It does not run scripts and does not use the network.
Is it safe to use for confidential meetings?
The output is written into a file the agent creates, so the content is stored there. Review the generated HTML before sharing it, particularly for sensitive meetings.
How is this different from plain text meeting notes?
The skill produces an HTML page with a fixed layout, including a styled title bar, checklists, cards and a table of action items. If you only need plain text, a simple prompt without this skill may be enough.

Our verdict
This skill suits teams and managers who want consistent, shareable HTML minutes with clear owners and deadlines. It is not suitable if you need audio recording, transcription, or a tool that captures what was said, and you should review output before sharing sensitive meetings.
