Make meetings lead to next steps

Know what the meeting is for

Tell Claude who will be there and what you need to decide. Ask it to read related ScoutTracker tasks. This can remind you of promises or questions from the last meeting.

Ask for a short agenda: a list of topics to cover. Include the main goal, a few useful questions, and anything you need to bring. You do not need a long document to have a better meeting.

If Claude can use a calendar tool you approved, it may be able to read the event details. Otherwise, share those details yourself. Always check names, dates, and times.

Turn the notes into action

After the meeting, share your notes. Ask Claude to separate what was decided from what was only discussed. “We could try this” is not the same as “We agreed to do this.”

For each real task, check who will do it and when. If the notes do not say, ask rather than guess. Add one or two sentences explaining why the task matters. Review the list before saving it.

A calendar event does not prove that the meeting took place. A meeting ending does not mean the work is done. Check ScoutTracker for existing tasks so you do not save the same action twice.
