📝 Prompt Skills: One Meeting Transcript. Three Useful Results.
The work meeting is over. Now you need to explain what happened, brief leadership, and make sure the work gets done. Those are three different needs—and you can use the same transcript for all three. For this exercise, use the attached fictional bakery meeting transcript. Five employees discuss how to improve morning pickup orders. 👇 Open a new chat, upload the transcript, and try these prompts one at a time in the same chat. 1️⃣ Meeting Summary — What happened? Prompt 1: Create a meeting summary from this transcript for the attendees. Include their names and titles, the main problems discussed, agreed process improvements, decisions, and unresolved questions. Separate approved decisions from suggestions and proposals. Include timestamps for key decisions. Use only the transcript and flag uncertainty instead of guessing. 2️⃣ Executive Summary — What does leadership need to know? Prompt 2: Using the same transcript, write an executive summary of no more than 200 words for the bakery owner. Focus on the business problem, the agreed pilot, its scope and timing, proposed success measures, and risks or decisions still requiring attention. Distinguish proposed targets from confirmed commitments. Use only the transcript. Don’t claim that improvements have already occurred. 3️⃣ Task List — Who does what, by when? Prompt 3: Extract the agreed tasks from the transcript into a table with these columns: Task, Owner, Due Date or Timing, Dependencies or Approvals, and Source Timestamp. Include supporting contributors where stated. Convert relative dates using the meeting date of October 12, 2026. If an owner or deadline isn’t stated, write “Not specified.” List ongoing pilot responsibilities separately from one-time tasks. Don’t turn unapproved suggestions into assigned work. Now review the results: 📋 Does the meeting summary capture the discussion and decisions? 🎯 Does the executive summary give leadership the essentials? ✅ Does the task list accurately identify owners, deadlines, and approvals?

Awesome! I do this after Skool meetings / calls as well. It's a great way to ingest what you didn't have time to learn on a call, and deep dive it when you do have time.

@Michael Wacht Absolutely! I even built a skill to digest everything and suggest what I should apply to my business based on what Claude knows about me.
📸 Prompt Skills: Can AI Interpret Images?
You don’t always need a detailed prompt to discover what AI can do. Try it with the photos, blueprint, and screenshot of a poem attached to this post. 1. Open a new chat in a LLM that accepts images. 2. Upload the first image and type: “Describe what you see.” 3. Upload the next image in the same chat. Then the next. Read what it picks up: objects, colors, visible text, layout, and details you might have overlooked. Compare its description with the image—did it miss anything or make an assumption? 📸 Now upload your own photo or photos. Try a screenshot, a handwritten note, an item you want to sell, or something you’re curious about. 💬 Share what surprised you?

I still carry a notebook and write notes a lot. I started feeding those notes to Claude about 6 months ago out of “laziness”. I didn’t want to retype everything in my notebook. Surprisingly Claude could read my chicken scratch. The first time I did that and it ingested the notes accurately blew my mind. I was expecting to have to use Mistral OCR.
🎨 Prompt Skills: Create a Recruitment Graphic
AI can make an image look good. But does it speak to the right audience, include the right message, and represent the organization accurately? Let’s put it to the test. Same AI tool. Two different prompts. For this exercise, we’ll create a mentor recruitment graphic using Winning Futures’ volunteer information. Use the same two-round experiment as Lessons 1 and 2. Open a new chat for each round, then compare your results. 💡 Of course, you can change the prompts to include your own company, website URL, and logo. Try it and see what you get! Round 1: Simple Request Open a new chat in an AI tool that can create images and enter: "Create a social media image encouraging people to become mentors for Winning Futures. Use https://winningfutures.org/ for reference." 🔎 Review the image. Round 2: Clear Assignment Open another new chat in the same AI tool, then copy and paste this prompt. Modify it as appropriate: Begin Prompt -------| "Create a professional square social media graphic encouraging Metro Detroit business professionals to become volunteer Career Mentors with Winning Futures. Use https://winningfutures.org/ and its Be a Mentor page for accurate information and visual branding. Show an adult mentor collaborating with high-school students on career goals. Use a polished editorial illustration style, a clean layout, generous open space, and text that’s easy to read on a phone. Include this text: Help Shape a Future Become a Winning Futures Career Mentor Learn more at WinningFutures.org Use the official Winning Futures logo unchanged and match its brand colors. Do not redraw or invent the logo. If you can’t retrieve it, ask me to upload it before creating the final graphic. Don’t invent event details or statistics. 📎 Have the official Winning Futures logo file ready to upload if your AI tool asks for it. Access to a website doesn’t always mean the tool can retrieve its logo."

ChatGPT for this. 1stPrompt came back without a logo. 2ndPrompt image is interesting, it almost looks like an illustration on the left, transitioning into a photo on right

@Michael Wacht I copy pasted, it's fascinating to see the similarities between all of these examples, and the variations too.
