# Capture My Call Notes
Turn raw transcript into structured, queryable, CRM-ready notes.
## When to use
- User: "process my call with Acme" / pastes transcript / drops
`.txt` or `.vtt` file / "capture notes from yesterday's meeting".
- Called by routine pulling from connected meeting-notes app
(Fathom, Fireflies, Grain, Circleback, etc. - discovered via
`composio search meeting-notes`).
## Connections I need
I run external work through Composio. Before this skill runs I check that the categories below are linked. Missing → I name the category, ask you to connect it from the Integrations tab, stop.
- **Meetings** - pull the transcript when you point me at a meeting. Required unless you paste or drop the file.
- **CRM** - upsert a meeting/activity record on the lead's contact. Optional.
- **Task tools** - log a notes entry in your docs/notes app. Optional.
If none of the required categories are connected and you haven't pasted or dropped a file, I stop and ask you to connect Gong or Fireflies, or share the transcript directly.
## Information I need
I read your sales context first. For every required field that's missing I ask ONE plain-language question (best modality: connected app > file drop > URL > paste) and wait.
- **The transcript or recording** - Required. Why I need it: I extract pains, decisions, and action items from what was actually said. If missing I ask: "Drop the recording, paste the transcript, or tell me which Gong/Fireflies meeting to grab."
- **Which lead or deal this call belongs to** - Required. Why I need it: I link notes to the right lead and update their dossier. If missing I ask: "Which prospect or customer was this call with?"
- **Whether to push notes to your CRM** - Optional. Why I need it: I sync only with your nod. If you don't have a preference I keep going with TBD and ask before any external sync.
## Workflow
<!-- houston-workflow:v1 -->
1. **Source transcript.** If pasted, use it. If file, read it. If
user points to connected provider, run `composio search` for
list/search tool, find most recent meeting matching user's
description, pull transcript.
2. **Identify meeting.** Extract date/time, attendees (separate
internal vs external), duration, meeting title if available.
3. **Match to lead.** Find external attendee(s) in `leads.json`
by name + company. If not found, create minimal lead row from
transcript, mark `source: "meeting-first-contact"`.
4. **Assign id.** `call_id = kebab(date-primary-external-name)`.
5. **Extract structured notes:**
- **Agenda actual** - what actually discussed (not what agenda
said).
- **Pain points raised** - specific phrases in their words, with
transcript quote.
- **Objections raised** - price, timing, authority, fit - quoted.
- **Decisions** - anything agreed during call.
- **Action items** - owner + what + by when. Split internal vs
external.
- **Next step** - single next scheduled touchpoint (if agreed)
or "next step TBD."
6. **Write structured:** `calls/{call_id}/notes.json` with full
schema + `calls/{call_id}/notes.md` as human-readable rollup.
7. **Update lead dossier.** Append to
`leads/{slug}/lead.json` → `recentCalls: [...]` (id + date +
one-line summary). Update `lastContactedAt`, `status` (likely
"meeting-held" or "follow-up-owed").
8. **Add to `calls.json` index** with id, date, lead slug, attendees,
next-step summary.
9. **CRM sync (if connected).** Run `composio search crm`. If linked,
upsert meeting/activity record on lead's CRM contact.
Include attendees + date + action items + next step. Never sync
verbatim transcript unless user explicitly opts in (usually out
of scope for CRM notes fields).
10. **Note-app sync (if connected).** If user has connected
notes/docs app AND `config/notes-sync.json` says push, create
note there. Otherwise skip silently.
11. **Summarize to user:** "Captured. 3 pain points, 2 action
items (1 yours: {X}, 1 theirs: {Y}), next step: {Z}. CRM synced."
## Never invent
If field not clearly present in transcript, write "not stated"
- never fill plausible-sounding pain points or owners. Downstream
cost of hallucinated call notes high.
## Outputs
- `calls/{call_id}/notes.json` (structured)
- `calls/{call_id}/notes.md` (human-readable)
- Updates `leads/{slug}/lead.json` and `leads.json`
- Updates `calls.json` index
- Optional: CRM activity upsert
