  • Decisions tracked with rationale
  • Tasks flow into your daily dashboard
  • Auto-generated briefings with context
  • Knowledge compounds over time

Nine skills, one ecosystem

Each skill handles one part of the workflow. They share standards, connect data, and work together without configuration.

Primary

The main meeting processor. Paste a transcript and get structured summaries, CHANGELOG entries, task imports, and knowledge extraction -- all controlled by organization config. Run /ops status to see available configs.

Opportunity

"Could build SaaS from internal tool"

Pattern

"Budget deferred three meetings in a row"
