Build a meeting note-taker in YAML

An agent that ingests a transcript, extracts decisions, and posts a structured summary.

filesystemworkspacetriggers.file_watchchannels.slack

The pattern

Drop a Zoom or Otter transcript into a directory the agent watches. It identifies decisions, action items, owners, and deadlines. Posts the summary to a Slack channel and writes the markdown to a docs folder. The structured output is the thing teams actually use a week later.

What good looks like

Decisions tagged with the person who made them
Action items have owner and deadline (or flagged as missing)
Summary under 300 words
Posted within 5 minutes of the file landing

Common pitfalls

Burying the decisions in a paragraph nobody reads
Missing owners because the model defaults to passive voice
Long summaries, the team stops reading after 200 words
Treating tangents as decisions

The minimum YAML to ship this

app.yaml

1modules:2  filesystem: {}3  workspace:4    config:5      render_mode: markdown6      sync_to_disk: true7  channels: { config: { slack: { bot_token: { credential: slack_bot } } } }89triggers:10  - id: new-transcript11    kind: file_watch12    path: ~/transcripts/13    target: { agent: notes, message: "{{event.path}}" }1415agents:16  - id: notes17    modules: [filesystem, workspace, {channels: [slack_post]}]18    brain: { model: claude-sonnet-4-6 }
