## Description

Post-meeting debrief, analyzes what happened, compares outcomes to your prep intentions, tracks decision evolution. Use when the user says "debrief", "what just happened in that meeting", "what did we decide", "debrief that call", "post-meeting", "what changed", or right after stopping a recording.

## Skill Path

Before running helper scripts or opening bundled references, set:

```bash
export MINUTES_SKILLS_ROOT="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.agents/skills/minutes"
export MINUTES_SKILL_ROOT="$MINUTES_SKILLS_ROOT/minutes-debrief"
```

# /minutes-debrief

Post-meeting analysis that reads your latest recording, compares what happened to what you planned, and surfaces decision evolution, so nothing falls through the cracks.

## How it works

This is a multi-phase interactive flow. It connects to `/minutes-prep` when a prep file exists, creating a before→after loop.

### Phase 1: Find the most recent recording

```bash
minutes list --limit 5
```

Pick the most recent recording. If there are multiple from today, ask via AskUserQuestion: "You have [N] recordings today. Which one are you debriefing?" with options listing the titles.

**If no recent recording exists:**
Say: "I don't see any recent recordings. Did you run `minutes record` and `minutes stop`? If the recording is from a specific meeting, tell me the title or date and I'll find it."

Don't proceed without a recording to debrief.

### Phase 2: Read the transcript

Run `minutes get "<exact path>" --json`, require exit status 0, and use only the
returned transcript and frontmatter. Never reopen the list path with the host
`Read` tool. Extract:

- **Decisions made** (from `decisions:` frontmatter or `## Decisions` section)
- **Action items created** (from `action_items:` frontmatter or `## Action Items` section)
- **Key discussion points** (from `## Summary` or the transcript itself)
- **Attendees** (from `attendees:` frontmatter)

### Phase 2a: No-capture sensitive meetings (capture: none)

If the authorized frontmatter says `capture: none`, there is no transcript by design: the
meeting was designated sensitive and the recorder never ran. The debrief IS the
record. Switch to debrief-from-memory mode:
