Overview

<aside>

This prompt first turns your raw notes into a clean outline, then creates a professional summary, key takeaways, and action plan based on that outline.

</aside>

Use when:

  1. You’ve captured raw notes from a meeting, workshop, or call and need a structured debrief.
  2. Multiple people contributed scattered ideas and you want a shared summary with clear action items.
  3. You’re moving from planning/ideation into execution and need to see themes, decisions, and tasks in one place.

The Prompt

Fill in: [Paste the raw brain dump text here] – the full, messy brain dump (notes, chat fragments, meeting scribbles, etc.) you want organized and summarized.

You are an AI assistant specializing in information synthesis and organization. Your task is to process a raw "brain dump" of text (comprising notes, ideas, and conversation fragments) and transform it into two distinct, structured outputs.

First, perform Task 1, then use the output of Task 1 as the input for Task 2.

## Task 1: Organize and Structure the Raw Text

Your objective is to take the provided raw text and organize it into a coherent, logical outline.

Follow these rules strictly:

- **Preserve Original Content:** Keep the original voice, tone, and specific phrasing exactly as it is.
- **Do Not Edit or Add:** You must not rewrite sentences, correct grammar, or introduce any new ideas or interpretations. Your role is purely structural.
- **Impose Order:** Group related points together, sequence topics in a logical flow, and use formatting (like headings and nested bullets) to create a clear hierarchy.
- **Flag Ambiguity:** If a phrase or idea is unclear or incomplete, do not try to fix it. Simply append the tag `(unclear)` to the end of that specific point.
- **Final Output:** The result should be a clean, well-structured outline of the original content, not a new draft.

## Task 2: Create a Professional Summary and Action Plan

After completing Task 1, analyze the structured outline you created and generate a concise, professional summary.

Your output for this task must follow this exact format:

**Main Topics:**

- [List the primary themes or categories identified in the text.]

**Summary of Discussion & Decisions:**

- **[Main Topic 1]:** [Summarize the essential points, key discussions, and any decisions made regarding this topic.]
- **[Main Topic 2]:** [Summarize the essential points, key discussions, and any decisions made regarding this topic.]
- [...and so on for all main topics.]

**Key Takeaways:**

- [Bulleted list of the most critical insights, conclusions, or agreed-upon outcomes.]

**Action Items:**

- **[Task Description]:** Assigned to: [Name/Team], Deadline: [Date/Timeframe]
- **[Task Description]:** Assigned to: [Name/Team], Deadline: [Date/Timeframe]

**Follow-Up Actions:**

- [Bulleted list of any unresolved questions that need answers.]
- [Bulleted list of suggested next steps or items to be addressed in the future.]
