Before you install

A shared skill carries somebody else's instructions. Read the source before you install it.
Never paste an API key, password, or token into anything a skill asks for. Legitimate skills use Muse's own secure flows.
Installing copies the setup into your own environment. It gives the author nothing.

What it does

This prompt pack turns a messy dump of meeting notes into a record you can act on. It pulls out decisions, action items with an owner and a deadline, and any question the meeting left open. It ends with a three-line summary you can forward on its own.

It runs once, on demand, whenever you paste notes into the chat. It never touches a calendar or a task tracker; you copy the output where it needs to go.

An action item with no named owner does not disappear or get a guessed name. It stays in the list, marked “No owner assigned”, so you catch it before the meeting’s decisions go untracked.

What it includes

A fill-in prompt template with a [Paste raw meeting notes here] slot.
A fixed output format: decisions, action items, open questions, three-line summary.
A rule against inventing an owner, deadline, or decision the notes do not state.

Example

Input (excerpt):

Standup 9/8. Discussed the Q3 report delay. Sarah will pull the numbers by Friday.
Someone needs to email the client about the timeline. Still unclear if we're
using the old template or the new one.

Output (excerpt):

## Decisions
- The Q3 report is delayed.

## Action items
- Pull the Q3 numbers | Owner: Sarah | Deadline: Friday
- Email the client about the timeline | Owner: No owner assigned | Deadline: No deadline set

## Open questions
- Are we using the old report template or the new one?

## Summary
The Q3 report is delayed and Sarah owns the numbers by Friday.
No one is assigned to email the client about the new timeline.
The report template to use is still undecided.

What this one touches

Reads only the notes you paste into the chat. Writes nothing on its own; it returns text for you to copy. Never contacts a calendar, task tracker, or any other person. Flags a missing owner instead of guessing one.

Install

Copy this block and paste it into your Muse chat. Muse does the install and confirms when it's done.

Packing List Builder
Turns trip details, weather, and activities into a checked packing list grouped by bag, so nothing important stays home.

by Muse Skills editors · Written for this directory
ViewInstall the "Packing List Builder" skill. Its full source is below. Create it at ~/workspace/skills/packing-list-builder/SKILL.md following skill-creator conventions (name and description frontmatter; Purpose, Workflow, Output Contract, Operating Rules sections). Then confirm it is installed and tell me the trigger phrases. --- SOURCE --- --- name: packing-list-builder description: Turns trip details, weather, and planned activities into a checked packing list grouped by bag, with a last-check list for the items people most often forget. Trigger phrases: "build my packing list", "what should I pack", "packing list for my trip", "pack for my trip", "trip packing checklist". --- # Purpose Do one narrow job: turn the facts of a trip into a packing list you can actually check off. You give the destination, dates, length, bags you plan to take, weather, and what you will do there: meetings, hiking, a wedding, a beach day, a cold morning run. The skill sorts everything into groups by bag, keeps daily clothes separate from gear, toiletries, and tech, and ends with a short last-check list for the items people most often leave behind: keys, wallet, phone charger, medication, travel documents, and house keys for the return. # Workflow 1. Gather the trip facts before drafting: destination, dates, nights away, bags and their limits, weather forecast or typical weather, activities by day, dress codes, and any items you already know you need, such as a laptop, camera, or sports gear. Ask for what is missing; never guess a dress code or a bag limit. 2. Build the core list first: clothes counted by nights away, with one spare set for delays, plus sleepwear and layers for the coldest and warmest hours, not just the daytime high. 3. Add activity gear next: one group per activity, so a hiking day does not mix with a meeting day. Add toiletries, tech, chargers, adapters, and documents as their own groups. 4. Sort the whole list by bag: carry-on, checked bag, personal item, and day bag. Mark items that must stay in the personal item, such as medication, documents, and chargers you need on the plane. 5. Finish with a last-check list of ten or fewer items to run through at the door, plus a short "buy before you leave" list for anything you do not own yet. # Output Contract - A packing list grouped by bag, with checkboxes - Clothes counted by nights away, with a spare set noted - One group per activity, plus toiletries, tech, and documents - A last-check list of ten or fewer door items - A "buy before you leave" list, kept separate from the packed list - A note on anything you still need to confirm, such as a bag limit or a dress code # Operating Rules - Never guess weather, bag limits, dress codes, or what an activity requires. Ask, or mark the item as unconfirmed. - Count clothes by nights away, not by vague trip length. - Keep medication, documents, and valuables in the personal item group, never in a checked bag group. - Keep the last-check list short. If it grows past ten items, cut it to the items that would ruin the trip if forgotten. - Ask for missing facts instead of filling them in.
Daily Journaler
Turns end-of-day notes into a structured journal entry in your notes system.

Create it at ~/workspace/skills/daily-journaler/SKILL.md following skill-creator conventions (name and description frontmatter; Purpose, Workflow, Output Contract, Operating Rules sections). Then confirm it is installed and tell me the trigger phrases. --- SOURCE --- --- name: daily-journaler description: Turn rough end-of-day notes into a structured daily journal entry for your notes system. Trigger phrases: "journal today", "write my journal entry", "turn my notes into a journal entry". --- # Purpose Turn the user's raw end-of-day notes into a clean, structured journal entry that fits their notes system (Obsidian, Apple Notes, or plain markdown files). The entry captures what happened, what got done, what is still open, and what the user wants to remember, in the user's own words, tightened up and organized. # Workflow 1. Read the user's raw notes for the day: pasted text, dictated thoughts, or a pointer to an inbox note. 2. Ask for the notes-system format only on first use (Obsidian daily-note template, Apple Notes, or plain markdown), then reuse it without asking again. 3. Extract events, decisions, completed items, open loops, and anything the user explicitly marked as worth remembering. 4. Organize the entry into sections: Highlights, Completed, Open loops, Notes to self. Drop a section if it would be empty. 5. Preserve the user's phrasing where possible; tighten wording rather than rewriting in a different voice. 6. Never invent facts the notes did not contain. If something is unclear, flag it with a question instead of filling it in. 7. Present the entry as a markdown draft the user can paste into their notes system. If the user has a daily-note naming convention, use it for the file name suggestion. # Output Contract A markdown journal entry dated for the day being journaled, with sections in this order (skipping empty ones): - Highlights: the 1 to 3 moments that mattered most - Completed: what got finished, one short line each - Open loops: what is still pending, with the next action where known - Notes to self: reminders, ideas, or observations for later After the entry, a single line suggests the file name for the user's notes system. # Operating Rules - Never publish, send, or share a journal entry. It stays private to the user. - Never combine notes from more than one day into a single entry unless the user explicitly asks. - Never invent events, feelings, or facts the notes did not state. Mark gaps as questions. - Never rewrite the user's voice into formal or marketing copy; tighten, do not transform. - Keep the entry skimmable: short lines, no paragraph longer than two sentences. - Run only when asked; do not journal unprompted.
Research Brief Builder

Trigger phrases: "build a research brief", "research this for me", "brief me on". --- # Purpose Replace the tab sprawl with one document you can trust. Research Brief Builder gathers research from the sources you name or that are publicly reachable, distills it into key findings, and lays it out as a structured brief: question asked, what each source says, where they agree, where they conflict, and which questions are still open. Every claim carries its source, so you can check the original in seconds. # Workflow 1. The user states the research question and any constraints: sources to prefer, sources to exclude, deadline for currency (e.g. "only 2025 or newer"). 2. Gather the research from the named or publicly available sources. Note the publication date of each source. 3. Extract findings per source in the source's own terms before any synthesis. Do not mix sources into one voice. 4. Synthesize: agreement points, conflicts, and the gaps no source covers well. 5. Write the brief in the template below and deliver it with the source list, each claim linked to the source that made it. # Output Contract Each brief contains: - The question, restated in one line - Key findings: 3 to 7 bullet points, each with its source - Where sources agree, and where they conflict - Open questions the research did not answer - A source list with publication dates and links where public If fewer than three solid sources turn up, say so plainly and deliver the thin brief rather than padding it. # Operating Rules - Never invent a citation. If a claim cannot be traced to a source you actually read, drop the claim. - Never reach paywalled, logged-in, or private accounts. Only public pages and sources the user provides. - Distinguish what a source says from what you infer. Inferences get flagged as your reading, not the source's claim. - When sources conflict, report the conflict. Never pick a winner silently. - Keep findings proportional to evidence: one source is a hint, not a consensus. - Never act on the research: no purchases, no outreach, no decisions. The brief informs; the user decides.
Report Watchdog
Watches incoming reports against rules you set and flags anomalies while the day is still live.

Then confirm it is installed and tell me the trigger phrases. --- SOURCE --- --- name: report-watchdog description: Watch incoming reports against rules you set and flag anomalies while the day is still live. Trigger phrases: "watch these reports", "flag bad reports", "set up report watchdog". --- # Purpose Catch bad reports before the day is over. Report Watchdog holds a set of rules you define once, checks each incoming report against them as reports arrive, and raises a flag the moment something looks wrong: a skipped checklist item, a number far outside the normal range, a missing photo, or a report that never arrived at all. # Workflow 1. The user defines the rules once: what a good report contains, what a good report looks like numerically, and when each report is due. Rules live in the watch config until the user changes them. 2. Each time a new report arrives, check it against the rules. Checklists must be complete, numbers must fall inside the expected ranges, required attachments must be present. 3. Compare the report against recent history for the same source. Flag anything that shifts sharply: a total that doubles, a reading that collapses, a value that is flat for the fifth run in a row. 4. Track what is due. If a report has not arrived by its due time, flag the absence. 5. For every flag, write one entry: which report, which rule broke, and the evidence. Group related flags from the same source into one alert so one bad day does not become ten messages. 6. If nothing broke, stay quiet. A clean check produces no message. # Output Contract One alert per source with a problem, containing: - Source and report time - The rule that broke, in plain words - The evidence: the value or gap that tripped it - What was normal: the recent baseline for comparison No problems: no message at all. This job is quiet by design. # Operating Rules - Never edit, correct, or re-file a report. Flag only. - Never contact the person who filed the report, or anyone else about it. The user handles every follow-up. - Never invent a rule. Every check runs against a rule the user wrote, and the alert always names it. - Never lower a threshold to quiet the noise without the user's say-so. If rules produce too many flags, report the pattern and propose new thresholds for approval. - Keep the alert short. One screenful per source, most days one alert at most.
