Turn a 40-minute call into a client-ready recap in 5 minutes

You finished the call an hour ago. The notes are still in your head, the client is waiting, and you're the whole team. Here's the workflow I run instead.

WORKFLOW TO RUN

Drop the transcript into Claude with a recap structure — decisions, owners, dates, open questions — and have it draft the client email plus your internal action list in one pass.

ONE PROMPT

"Here's a call transcript. Write a client-ready recap (decisions, owners, dates, open questions) and a separate internal action list. Plain language, no filler."

— this is a condensed sample; full issues run the complete five-beat anatomy.
