Stack Overview

#	Prompt	Best For	What You Get
1	Tacit Knowledge Extractor	Leadership, client, strategy meetings	Undocumented expertise before it walks out the door
2	Decision Journal Builder	Executive teams, retrospectives	Structured log of what was decided and why
3	Team Dynamics Detector	Team health, conflict prevention	Patterns people can't see in themselves
4	Pre-Mortem Analyst	Strategic decisions, project launches	Failure scenarios and prevention actions

How to Use This Stack

1. Paste your transcript (full or partial — even rough notes work)
2. Pick a prompt based on what you want to extract
3. Fill in the bracketed inputs — the more context, the sharper the output
4. Run one or chain multiple — e.g., run Prompt 2 (decisions) + Prompt 4 (pre-mortem on those decisions) on the same meeting

Prompts can be run in sequence on the same transcript. Prompt 2 → Prompt 4 is a particularly powerful pairing for high-stakes decisions.

Integration Notes

• Transcript sources: Works with Fireflies.ai exports, Granola notes, Zoom transcripts, Teams transcripts, manually typed notes
• Minimum viable input: Even rough bullet-point meeting notes produce useful output — you don't need verbatim transcripts
• Storing outputs: Paste results into Notion, SharePoint, or a Google Doc. Prompt 5's Knowledge Assets are specifically designed to be stored and searched later.
• Chaining with other skills: Run outputs through /bullshit-detector if a decision log or AAR feels like it's glossing over real issues
