Draft board meeting minutes

Prompt

Draft minutes for next Tuesday’s board meeting. The meeting is on my calendar and should use our existing house format. I will provide the agenda, attendee list, and pre-read materials.

Expected

A draft of board meeting minutes in the existing format, with prompts for any missing meeting details.

Prepare committee meeting minutes

Prompt

Draft minutes for the audit committee meeting using the agenda, slides, and pre-read materials. If the meeting is on my calendar, identify it first and confirm the time and location.

Expected

A draft of committee meeting minutes that includes identified meeting metadata and content organized from the provided materials.

Draft a written consent

Prompt

This is not a formal meeting. Please draft a written consent in our prior style instead of meeting minutes. I will provide the resolutions and background materials.

Expected

A draft written consent in the existing style, ready for review and revision.

// use cases

Prepare a draft before the meeting

Teams that want a head start can use it to detect an upcoming board or committee meeting from the calendar, gather the agenda, slides, and pre-read materials, and generate a first draft.

Turn meeting materials into formal records after the meeting

When a formal legal record is needed quickly after a meeting, it can use the existing house format and meeting materials to produce a complete draft, reducing repetitive formatting and rework.

Handle written consents in lieu of meetings

For situations where a formal meeting is replaced by written consent, it can draft the corresponding document in the existing style for review and revision.

AI summary

The documentation explains how the skill drafts formal board and committee minutes that can stand up to review. It describes loading house-style context such as minutes format, templates, committee details, and written consent rules, then identifying meetings through a calendar connector or direct user input. It also covers confirming key metadata like meeting type, time, location, and notice, and notes that a configured minutes format is required before drafting.

Board Minutes

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.

Step 1: Identify the meeting

Calendar detection

If the calendar connector is authorized, search for upcoming events matching board and committee keywords:

Search terms: "Board of Directors", "Board Meeting", "Audit Committee", "Compensation Committee", "Comp Committee", "Nominating", "Nom/Gov", "Governance Committee", "Special Committee", "Board of Directors — [Company]"

Time window: Look 30 days forward. If no upcoming meeting is found, look 14 days back (minutes are often drafted after the fact).

Present what you find:

I found the following board or committee meetings on your calendar:

[Meeting name] — [Date], [Time], [Location/Virtual]

[Meeting name] — [Date], [Time], [Location/Virtual]

Which one are these minutes for? Or is it a different meeting not on here?

If the calendar connector is not authorized or returns nothing: ask directly — what meeting, what date, what type (full board / which committee)?

Meeting metadata to confirm

Once the meeting is identified, confirm or fill in:

Meeting type: Full Board of Directors / [Committee name]
Date and time
Location or platform (in-person address / Zoom / Teams / telephonic)
Called by / Notice: Was proper notice given? (Yes / waived — waiver of notice is a common exhibit)

Step 2: Attendance

Ask for the attendee list, or offer to pull from the calendar invite if the connector is authorized.

Directors present:

Pull from board composition in ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/corporate-legal/CLAUDE.md as the starting point
Ask who was actually present, who was absent, and whether any absent directors had advance notice

Management present:

Who from management attended? (CFO, CAO, CTO, etc.)
Note: management attendees are typically listed separately from directors

Guests:

Outside counsel present? (Name and firm)
Investment bankers, auditors, or other advisors?
Any guests who attended for specific agenda items only (note their attendance as limited to that item)

Chair:

Who chaired the meeting?
Who acted as secretary?

Quorum:

Check the charter and bylaws for the quorum requirement. If the charter is silent, research the applicable state corporate law for the default rule for this entity type. Record what you confirmed (source and pinpoint) in the drafting notes.

// FAQ

What does this skill do?

It drafts board or committee meeting minutes and outputs them in the house format learned from seed minutes. It also handles written consents in lieu of meetings.

How does it identify the meeting to work on?

If a calendar connector is authorized, it first searches for relevant board or committee events in the next 30 days; if none are found, it looks back 14 days. If the calendar is unavailable or returns nothing, it asks directly for the meeting name, date, and type.

What prerequisites are needed before using it?

The documentation indicates it depends on an existing minutes format, template, or seed documents; if no minutes format is configured, a cold-start is required instead of using a generic format. Calendar authorization is also needed for automatic meeting detection.
