# Meeting Notes Skill

Convert meeting discussions into clear, actionable notes with tasks, decisions, and follow-ups for effective team collaboration.

## Instructions

You are a meeting facilitation and documentation expert. When invoked:

1. **Capture Meeting Content**:
   - Key discussion points
   - Decisions made
   - Action items assigned
   - Questions raised
   - Parking lot items
   - Follow-up needed

2. **Structure Notes**:
   - Clear formatting and sections
   - Searchable and scannable
   - Chronological flow
   - Linked to related resources
   - Tagged for discoverability

3. **Extract Action Items**:
   - Specific tasks with owners
   - Clear deadlines
   - Acceptance criteria
   - Dependencies noted
   - Priority indicated

4. **Highlight Decisions**:
   - What was decided
   - Why it was decided
   - Who decided (if relevant)
   - Impact and implications
   - Next steps

5. **Enable Follow-Through**:
   - Share notes promptly (within 24h)
   - Track action items
   - Link to project management tools
   - Schedule follow-ups
   - Archive for future reference

2. Security Audit Findings
3. Performance Issues Discussion
4. Team Capacity Planning

## Discussion Summary

### 1. Q1 Planning Review (15 min)

**Context**: Review progress on Q1 objectives.

**Discussion**:
- Successfully launched user dashboard (Q1 OKR #1) ✅
- Payment integration delayed by 2 weeks due to compliance requirements
- Mobile app beta at 80% completion (target: 100% by end of Q1)

**Key Points**:
- Dashboard has 85% user adoption (exceeds 70% target)
- Payment delay won't affect Q1 goals - can slip to early Q2
- Mobile beta needs additional testing resources

**Metrics Reviewed**:
| Objective | Target | Current | Status |
|-----------|--------|---------|--------|
| User Dashboard Launch | 70% adoption | 85% adoption | ✅ On Track |
| Payment Integration | Q1 | Q2 Week 1 | ⚠️ Slight Delay |
| Mobile Beta | 100% | 80% | ⚠️ At Risk |

### 2. Security Audit Findings (20 min)

**Presenter**: Frank Miller

**Findings**:
1. **Critical**: JWT tokens not rotating after password change
2. **High**: Missing rate limiting on authentication endpoints
3. **Medium**: Outdated dependencies with known vulnerabilities
4. **Low**: Missing security headers on some API responses

**Discussion**:
- Critical issue is a security risk - needs immediate fix
- Rate limiting should be implemented before next release
- Dependency updates can be automated with Renovate bot
- Security headers are quick wins

**Questions Raised**:
- Q: Should we implement 2FA? (Parking lot - discuss in separate meeting)
- Q: Timeline for security headers? A: Can complete in current sprint

---

### 3. Performance Issues Discussion (15 min)

**Context**: Users reporting slow dashboard load times.

**Identified Issues**:
- Database queries not optimized (N+1 query problem)
- Large bundle size (2.5MB, target: <1MB)
- Missing CDN for static assets
- No caching layer for frequently accessed data

**Root Causes**:
- Recent feature additions didn't include performance testing
- No bundle size monitoring in CI/CD
- Infrastructure not updated since launch

**Proposed Solutions**:
1. Add database indexes and optimize queries
2. Implement code splitting and lazy loading
3. Set up CloudFront CDN
4. Add Redis caching layer
5. Establish performance budgets in CI

---

### 4. Team Capacity Planning (10 min)

**Discussion**:
- Eve on PTO next week (Jan 22-26)
- Bob has oncall rotation (Jan 15-22)
- Carol starting new project Feb 1
- Need to hire 2 more engineers by Q2

**Impact on Current Sprint**:
- May need to reduce sprint commitment
- Security fixes take priority
- Nice-to-have features can be deferred

---

## Decisions Made

### ✅ Decision 1: Prioritize Security Fixes

**Decision**: Address critical and high-severity security issues immediately, delaying feature work if necessary.

**Rationale**: Security risks outweigh feature velocity. Customer trust is paramount.

**Impact**:
- Current sprint scope reduced by 20%
- Feature "Advanced Filtering" moved to next sprint
- All engineers to review security best practices

**Owner**: Bob (Backend Lead)
**Timeline**: Critical fix by EOW (Jan 19), High-severity by Jan 26

---

### ✅ Decision 2: Implement Performance Budgets

**Decision**: Add automated performance checks to CI/CD pipeline.

**Metrics**:
- Bundle size: max 1MB gzipped
- Lighthouse performance score: min 90
- API response time: p95 < 500ms
- Database query time: p95 < 100ms

**Impact**: PRs failing budgets will require performance review before merge.

**Owner**: Carol (Frontend Lead) + Bob (Backend Lead)
**Timeline**: Implement by Feb 1

---

### ✅ Decision 3: Hire Additional Engineers

**Decision**: Open 2 requisitions (1 Backend, 1 Frontend) for Q2 start.

**Rationale**: Current team at 110% capacity, affecting sustainability and innovation time.

**Next Steps**:
- David to work with recruiting on job descriptions
- Alice to define interview process
- Target start date: April 1

**Owner**: Alice (Engineering Manager)
**Timeline**: Job posts live by Jan 22
