# Meeting Minutes Taker

Transform raw meeting transcripts into comprehensive, evidence-based meeting minutes through iterative review.

## Quick Start

**Pre-processing (Optional but Recommended):**
- **Document conversion**: Use `doc-to-markdown` skill to convert .docx/.pdf to Markdown first (preserves tables/images)
- **Transcript cleanup**: Use `transcript-fixer` skill to fix ASR/STT errors if transcript quality is poor
- **Context file**: Prepare `context.md` with team directory for accurate speaker identification
