Meeting-note skill: retain the existing description
The existing Meeting Evidence 0.1.0 description already names the input—supplied meeting notes or a transcript—and the requested decisions, action items and open questions. Comparing it with two saved prompt specifications identifies no consequential missing applicability cue. Retain the description, package summary and workflow; this is not evidence of successful selection.
What the actual description covers
The complete skill source and Build walkthrough show the same description:
Use when the user supplies meeting notes or a transcript and wants an evidence-linked recap of decisions, action items, and open questions.
- H02: indirect recap request. With notes supplied, “What did we decide, who committed to what, and what still needs confirmation?” expresses those categories without naming the skill. This is semantic coverage, not an observed model match.
- H05: unrelated arithmetic. “What is 7 times 8?” supplies neither meeting material nor a recap task. The description does not describe that task; no model exclusion or non-selection was observed. The specification alone does not justify adding an arithmetic exclusion.
The body retains passage references, proposals versus commitments, unknown owners/deadlines, relative dates and transcript-as-data handling. For these two specifications, moving the whole procedure into metadata supplies no identified missing applicability decision. Its missing-notes instruction is workflow guidance, not a trigger for every unrelated request. The package summary also remains unchanged; this assessment does not establish that package/listing descriptions have no discovery role.
Guidance and observation are different
The inspected Build skills guidance describes name/description before full instructions, with host-qualified progressive disclosure. Using skills to accelerate OSS maintenance, under “Write better descriptions,” illustrates applicability and timing cues. These explain an authoring choice; they do not show that this sample was available to a model, selected, loaded or followed.
All ten host specifications remain unperformed. Actual selection, body/reference loading, output and retest are unobserved. The unchanged portable example is still not established Codex-ready. A normal prompt with readable notes and direct guidance remains a genuine alternative; neither equivalence nor inferiority was measured. No need for additional orchestration follows from this comparison.
Narrow inspection date—not a wider refresh
The two cited passages were independently inspected within observed UTC clocks of 21 October 2026, 12:55:18–12:56:03. This interval is not a per-request retrieval timestamp or a source-change date. The inspected Build passage has no visible publication/update date; the article is visibly dated 9 March 2026. Crawl labels do not date changed wording. No before/after archive was compared, and no wider policy, compatibility or guide-wide freshness follows.
The source, archives and version remain unchanged. Earlier studies retain their original dates, scopes and unresolved limitations.
