This is the Meeting snippet. In Snippetbar, copy the Slack thread, run it, and paste the agenda into the calendar invite.

Meeting agenda examples

Before: agenda from a Slack message

Before

need to talk about Q4 roadmap, also the pricing test results are in, and Tom wants to discuss hiring a second designer. 45 min, product + eng leads

After

Product & Eng leads sync · 45 min
Goal: Decide on the pricing test outcome and whether to open a second design role. Align on the Q4 roadmap draft.
Pre-read: Pricing test results {link}, Q4 roadmap draft {link}

  1. Pricing test results. {Owner}. 10 min. Decide
  2. Second designer hire. Tom. 10 min. Decide
  3. Q4 roadmap. {Owner}. 20 min. Discuss
  4. Wrap-up: decisions and owners. 5 min

The decisions come first because they're quick, and the discussion goes last so it can't crowd them out.

After: notes to action items

Before

  • [ ] Update pricing page: Tom, by Friday
  • [ ] Write designer job description: Martin, {date}

How to run meetings that end with decisions

  • Start with the goal, not the topics

    “Decide on pricing” gives a meeting an end point. “Discuss pricing” can go on forever.

  • Label every item Decide, Discuss or Inform

    It tells people how to show up. Inform items often don't need a meeting at all.

  • Put decisions first

    Discussions expand to fill the time available. Quick decisions at the top actually get made.

  • Timebox each item

    Timeboxes turn “we ran out of time” into a visible, fixable problem.

  • Send pre-reads and expect them to be read

    Reading together live wastes everyone's time.

  • End with owners and dates

    An action item without an owner is a wish. “Tom, by Friday” is a commitment.

The snippet

This is the exact prompt the tool above runs. Save it as a snippet in Snippetbar and it works on any text you select.

Mode: {agenda | action items}.

Agenda mode — from the input, create a meeting agenda:
- Goal: one sentence on what will be decided or produced.
- Numbered items with owner, time, and type (Decide / Discuss / Inform). Decisions first. Times must fit the stated duration; include a 5-min wrap-up.
- Pre-reads if any are mentioned. Use {owner} / {link} placeholders when unknown.

Action items mode — from the meeting notes, extract:
- Decisions (bullets, with key numbers).
- Action items as checkboxes: task — owner — due date. Use {owner} / {date} if not stated.
- Open questions / carried over.

Only use what's in the input. Don't invent owners, dates, or decisions.
Return only the result in markdown.

Use it where you work

  • Slack to calendar invite

    Copy the thread that started it, generate the agenda and paste it into the Google Calendar or Outlook invite description.

  • Notes to Linear or Notion

    Right after the call, copy your rough notes, get the action items, and paste them where the team tracks work.

  • Recurring 1:1s

    Save an agenda snippet variant for 1:1s: wins, blockers, growth, feedback.
