## Description

Drafts board or committee meeting minutes in your house format. Auto-detects upcoming board and committee meetings from your calendar, asks for the agenda and any slides or pre-read materials, and produces a complete draft in the format learned from your seed minutes. Also handles written consents in lieu of meetings. Trigger: "board minutes", "draft minutes", "upcoming board meeting", "committee minutes", "written consent", or calendar detection of an upcoming board or committee event.

## Matter context

**Matter context.** Check `## Matter workspaces` in the practice-level CLAUDE.md. If `Enabled` is `✗` (the default for in-house users), skip the rest of this paragraph, skills use practice-level context and the matter machinery is invisible. If enabled and there is no active matter, ask: "Which matter is this for? Run `/corporate-legal:matter-workspace switch <slug>` or say `practice-level`." Load the active matter's `matter.md` for matter-specific context and overrides. Write outputs to the matter folder at `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/corporate-legal/matters/<matter-slug>/`. Never read another matter's files unless `Cross-matter context` is `on`.

## Purpose

Board minutes are a legal record. They need to be accurate, complete, and in a format that will hold up under scrutiny, whether that's a financing due diligence review, a regulatory inquiry, or an M&A data room. This skill drafts them in your house format so you spend your time reviewing and correcting, not formatting and re-typing.

## Load context

- `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/corporate-legal/CLAUDE.md` → `## Board & Secretary` section:
  - Minutes format (long-form narrative / action minutes / hybrid)
  - Minutes template extracted from seed documents (structure, resolution language, header format)
  - Board composition and committees
  - Written consents, what they're used for and any limits
- If `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/corporate-legal/CLAUDE.md` has no minutes format: run cold-start first. Do not proceed with a generic format.
