## What it does

This skill turns a meeting topic into a document you hand to participants. It splits the conversation into topics and gives each one a type tag (`Discussion`, `Decision`, `Information`, `Working`), an owner, a goal and a time slot. Topic times have to add up to the meeting length. If they overflow, the skill flags it and asks you to reconcile instead of trimming quietly.

Ten meeting types are covered: standup, planning, review, decision-making, brainstorm, 1-on-1, stakeholder-review, project-kickoff, working-session, exec-briefing. Before writing anything, the skill asks whether the meeting needs to be synchronous at all. It proceeds only when one reason is named: a tradeoff to discuss, a conflict between stakeholders, co-creation in the room, a first-time relationship, or a time-sensitive unblock. Otherwise it proposes an async alternative and waits for an override.

Run it without answering questions. The skill reads your inputs, infers what is missing (meeting type from topic keywords, duration from the type, attendee roles from context), shows a summary of assumptions and waits for `go` or corrections. Pass `--go` and the summary is skipped. Output includes attendee prep with time estimates, a parking lot and logistics. The skill belongs to the Meeting Skills Family and follows its contract, so `foundation-meeting-brief` sits next to it for private prep and `foundation-meeting-recap` for what comes after.

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/product-on-purpose/pm-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/foundation-meeting-agenda/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- build an agenda whose topic times fit the meeting length
- assign owners and type tags to each topic
- check whether the meeting could be handled async
- write a short agenda summary for Slack or email
- list what attendees should read before the meeting

## Example prompts
- build an agenda for a 60-minute project kickoff with the team and stakeholders

# Meeting Agenda

A meeting agenda is the attendee-facing structural document that sets expectations before a meeting. It answers "what will we discuss, who owns each topic, how will we spend the time, and what does done look like?" Distinct from a meeting brief, which is the user's private strategic prep; the agenda is shared with participants and focused on structure and flow.

This skill belongs to the Meeting Skills Family. It conforms to the [Meeting Skills Family Contract](../../docs/reference/skill-families/meeting-skills-contract.md), which defines shared frontmatter, file naming, the go-mode behavioral pattern, and universal output requirements across all meeting skills.

## When to Use

- Running or chairing a cross-functional working session, project kickoff, stakeholder review, or decision meeting
- Any meeting with more than three attendees or more than thirty minutes
- Recurring meeting where a rolling structure (1-on-1, team sync) needs fresh framing each time
- Mid-initiative alignment moment where explicit desired outcomes prevent drift

## When NOT to Use

- The user's preparation is private and tactical (positioning, stakeholder reads, asks). Use `foundation-meeting-brief` instead.
