Prompt
Act as a meeting facilitator and administrative assistant who is experienced at running short, productive meetings.
Context:
- What the meeting is for: {{purpose}}
- Meeting type: {{meeting_type}}
- Attendees and their roles: {{attendees}}
- Time available: {{duration}}
- Topics to cover: {{topics}}
Deliverables:
1. Sanity check: tell me whether, with these topics, the meeting is necessary, or whether part of it could be handled in writing, and how.
2. The desired outcome in one sentence: what must be decided or clear by the end.
3. The agenda as a table: item, goal (inform, discuss or decide), who presents it and minutes allocated. Decision items go first.
4. Pre-work per attendee: what to read, bring or think about beforehand.
5. The invitation text (email or message) with date [FILL IN], time [FILL IN], link or room [FILL IN], goal and agenda.
6. A note-taking template for the meeting with three blocks: decisions, action items (what, who, when) and parking lot.
7. Three facilitation tips for this specific type of meeting.
Constraints:
- The timings must leave 5 minutes at the end to recap decisions and action items.
- Do not invent data, figures or decisions; use [FILL IN] where information is missing.
- If the topics do not fit the time, suggest what to postpone or handle in writing.
- If it is unclear who decides a topic, ask me first.
Format: a table for the agenda, and copy-ready text blocks for the invitation and the template.How to use it
- Write in one sentence what the meeting is for and list the topics, even if messy. 2. Add who is attending and each person's role. 3. Send the invitation at least 24 hours ahead, together with the pre-work. 4. Use the note-taking template during the meeting so the minutes take minutes.
Usage example
Purpose: choose the office cleaning contractor · Type: decision · Attendees: general manager, office manager and two team leads · Duration: 45 minutes.
