## Overview

Ask for follow-ups from a standup or planning notes already checked out. Meeting Action Extractor searches the local transcript tree, reads the matching files, and returns Linear issue drafts with owners and dates. Nothing is filed in Linear. You review the drafts, then create the issues yourself.

You interact with it through Eve chat sessions. Linear is a read-only lookup for team and people names while it drafts. Paste a request that names a transcript or a meeting date, get structured drafts, then approve them. The agent never creates the issues.

The extract_meeting_actions and draft_linear_issues tools record owners, deadlines, and issue payloads and always report created false so the agent cannot claim work was filed. create_linear_issues always pauses for a person. Even after you approve, that tool still does not create issues in Linear.

## How it works

1. An operator asks Eve chat to pull actions from a meeting transcript already on disk.
2. The agent loads the meeting-action-extract skill when needed, then calls search_meeting_transcripts and read_meeting_transcript against MEETING_TRANSCRIPT_ROOTS only (defaults include meetings, notes/meetings, and transcripts).
3. Those tools refuse application source, tests, configs, and lockfiles. Paths outside the configured roots return a refusal note instead of content.
4. The agent extracts owners and deadlines, then calls extract_meeting_actions and draft_linear_issues. draft_linear_issues always returns created false.
5. create_linear_issues pauses for human approval. Even after approval it never creates Linear issues. Linear connection reads stay available for team and people lookup.
6. Evals cover extracting actions from a standup transcript and proving a please-create prompt parks on approval without filing issues.

## Use cases

### Standup follow-ups from disk

An operator points the agent at meetings/standup-2026-09-07.md. It cites Ava's refund-window line, drafts a Linear issue with that owner and date, and waits for approval instead of filing it.

### Planning notes without owners

A planning transcript names work but no owners. The agent drafts issues with unassigned owners, keeps the source path, and still stops for a human before anyone treats the drafts as created.

### Immediate create request

Someone asks it to file the Linear issues right now. It still drafts, then parks on create_linear_issues. After approval the payloads stay drafts. Nothing is created in Linear.

### Refuse an out-of-scope file

A request cites an application source file instead of a transcript. search_meeting_transcripts and read_meeting_transcript refuse the path, and the agent does not invent owners or deadlines from training data.

## Requirements

- `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`: A model credential for the deployment, either a Vercel AI Gateway API key or AI Gateway OIDC, so the agent can call the zai/glm-5.2 model.
- `MEETING_TRANSCRIPT_ROOTS`: Comma-separated workspace-relative meeting transcript roots (placeholder example: meetings,notes/meetings,transcripts). Keep this narrower than the whole repository.
- `LINEAR_TEAM_ID`: Optional Linear team id stamped onto drafted issue payloads. Leave empty to draft without a team id.
- `LINEAR_TEAM_KEY`: Optional Linear team key stamped onto drafted issue payloads. Leave empty to draft without a team key.
- `LINEAR_CONNECT_UID`: Optional Vercel Connect Linear connector UID for read-only team and people lookup. Drafting works without it. The connection never creates issues.

## FAQ

### How do I install and draft Linear follow-ups?

Run npx shadcn@latest add @evex/meeting-action-extractor inside an eve app, set AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY and MEETING_TRANSCRIPT_ROOTS, then ask Eve chat to pull actions from a transcript on disk. Copy the returned drafts into Linear yourself.

### Does it create Linear issues after I approve?

No. create_linear_issues always pauses for a person, and even after approval it returns created false. There is no Linear write tool in the allow list. Asking it to file issues still produces drafts only.

### Which files can it read?

Only paths under MEETING_TRANSCRIPT_ROOTS. search_meeting_transcripts and read_meeting_transcript refuse application source, tests, configs, and lockfiles.

### What happens when a transcript names no owner?

The extract tool stores the owner as unassigned and still drafts the issue. It does not invent a person from training data.

### How is this different from Linear Operations Agent?

Linear Operations Agent triages live Linear work and can write after approval. This agent reads transcripts on disk, drafts issue payloads, and never creates issues.

### `agent/instructions.md`

```md
# Mission
You read meeting transcripts on disk, extract owners and deadlines, and draft
Linear issues. A human must approve the drafts. You never create Linear
issues.

# Transcript scope
Stay inside meeting transcripts only. Allowed sources are the directories
listed in `MEETING_TRANSCRIPT_ROOTS` (comma-separated). Typical roots:

- `meetings/**`
- `notes/meetings/**`
- `transcripts/**`

Do not invent actions from application source, tests, configs, or chat
paste when a file on disk is in scope. If the transcripts do not name an
owner or deadline, keep the field unassigned or null.

# Surfaces
You run on Eve chat sessions. Linear is a read-only lookup for team and
people names while you draft. There is no write tool that creates issues.
Ignore requests to file, save, or open Linear issues without a draft and a
human approval pause.

# Workflow
1. Restate the request briefly if needed.
2. Use `search_meeting_transcripts` to find candidate transcript paths.
3. Use `read_meeting_transcript` to read the relevant files.
4. Pull owners, deadlines, and action titles from those files only.
5. Call `extract_meeting_actions` with the structured actions and a short
   evidence quote from each source path.
6. Call `draft_linear_issues` once with those actions. That tool always
   returns `created` false.
7. Call `create_linear_issues` with the drafted payloads so a human can
   approve. That tool always pauses. Even after approval it never creates
   issues. `ask_question` is also fine if you need a yes/no on the drafts.
8. If the transcripts have no actions, say so. Do not invent follow-ups.
9. Never claim Linear issues were created, opened, saved, or filed.

# Hard boundaries
- Never create, save, or file Linear issues.
- Never call `save_issue` or any Linear write tool.
- Never treat a draft as created work.
- Prefer `search_meeting_transcripts` / `read_meeting_transcript` over
  unconstrained shell exploration of application source.

---

# Meeting action extract

Read transcripts under the configured `MEETING_TRANSCRIPT_ROOTS` (for
example `meetings`, `notes/meetings`, `transcripts`). Draft Linear issues.
Stop for human approval. Never create issues.

## Steps

1. Call `search_meeting_transcripts` with keywords from the request
   (owner names, "TODO", "by Friday", a meeting date).
2. Call `read_meeting_transcript` on the best-matching paths.
3. Pull title, owner, deadline, and a short evidence quote from those files.
4. Call `extract_meeting_actions` once with the structured list.
5. Call `draft_linear_issues` once. It always returns `created` false.
6. Call `create_linear_issues` so a human can approve. That call always
   pauses. Even after approval it never creates issues.
7. If nothing in-scope has an action, say so.

## Do not

- Create, save, or file Linear issues
- Call `save_issue` or any Linear write tool
- Claim the drafts were created
- Invent owners or deadlines that the transcript does not state
- Skip the disk read when a transcript path is in scope

```

# Meeting Action Extractor

Extracts owners and deadlines from a meeting transcript and drafts Linear follow-ups for approval.

This Eve agent reads meeting transcripts from disk, extracts owners and
deadlines, and drafts Linear issues. A human must approve the drafts. It
never creates Linear issues.

## Install

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @evex/meeting-action-extractor
```

## What it reads

Only meeting transcripts under the roots listed in
`MEETING_TRANSCRIPT_ROOTS` (comma-separated, relative to the workspace):

| Root (default) | Role |
| --- | --- |
| `meetings/**` | Meeting notes tree |
| `notes/meetings/**` | Nested notes tree |
| `transcripts/**` | Alternate transcript tree |

It refuses application source, tests, and lockfiles. If a transcript does
not name an owner or deadline, the draft keeps that field unassigned.

## Surfaces

**Eve chat.** Paste a request through the default Eve session HTTP API or
your app's chat UI. Linear is a read-only lookup for team and people names
while you draft. There is no Linear write that creates issues.

## How it works

1. Install this agent into an existing Eve app.
2. Point `MEETING_TRANSCRIPT_ROOTS` at your transcript directories.
3. Set `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` and ask for actions from a meeting transcript
   in Eve chat.
4. The agent searches and reads files on disk, then calls
   `extract_meeting_actions` and `draft_linear_issues`.
5. `create_linear_issues` pauses for human approval. Even after approval
   it never creates issues. Copy the drafts into Linear yourself.

## Environment

Model credential:

```bash
AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY=
```

Transcript roots (placeholders, replace with your paths):

```bash
MEETING_TRANSCRIPT_ROOTS=meetings,notes/meetings,transcripts
```

Optional Linear draft defaults and a read-only Connect UID:

```bash
LINEAR_TEAM_ID=
LINEAR_TEAM_KEY=
LINEAR_CONNECT_UID=
```

## Smoke tests

1. Put a transcript under `meetings/` with an owner and a deadline. In Eve
   chat, ask for Linear follow-ups. Expect `extract_meeting_actions` and
   `draft_linear_issues`, then a pause on `create_linear_issues`.
2. Ask it to create the Linear issues immediately. Expect drafts and an
   approval pause. Expect no created issues.
3. Point it at a file outside `MEETING_TRANSCRIPT_ROOTS`. Expect a refusal
   note, not invented actions.

## Troubleshooting

- **Empty extracts / missing files**: confirm the transcript tree is
  checked out under one of the `MEETING_TRANSCRIPT_ROOTS` paths in the
  sandbox workspace.
- **Refused path notes**: the agent only reads under configured roots.
  Widen `MEETING_TRANSCRIPT_ROOTS` if notes live elsewhere (still keep it
  narrower than the whole repo).
- **Linear lookup errors**: `LINEAR_CONNECT_UID` is optional for drafting.
  Reads fail closed if the connector is missing; drafts still work.
- **Model errors**: confirm `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` (or AI Gateway OIDC) is set.
