Fills the meeting-hygiene gap identified by audit/productivity-2026-07. Full Path-B contract: cs-meeting-discipline agent, /cs:meeting-prep + /cs:meeting-actions commands, SKILL.md (checklist PASS), 3 stdlib scripts (meeting_cost_calculator with MEET/ASYNC/NOT-READY exit-coded verdicts, agenda_builder refusing outcome-less topics and timebox overflow, action_item_extractor with ORPHAN/NO-DUE flags), 3 references, 2 assets.

meetings — Cost Gate → Timeboxed Agenda → Owned Actions
Most meetings should be an email. This plugin makes that a testable claim instead of a complaint.
/cs:meeting-prep prices a meeting in real dollars and refuses to let it exist without a decision,
an agenda, and an owner. If it survives the gate, it gets a timeboxed, decision-first agenda where
every topic has a desired outcome. /cs:meeting-actions then turns the raw notes into an
owner + due-date checklist — and flags every orphan, because an action item without an owner and a
date is theater.
The three disciplines
| Stage | The question it answers | Script |
|---|---|---|
| The Gate | "Should this meeting exist at all?" — cost + decision/agenda/owner checks | meeting_cost_calculator.py |
| The Agenda | "What will we decide, in what order, in how many minutes?" | agenda_builder.py |
| The Extraction | "Who owes what, by when?" — orphan and no-due flagging | action_item_extractor.py |
The gate returns one of three verdicts: ASYNC (no decision needed — send a memo instead), NOT-READY (decision exists but the agenda or owner is missing — names what's missing), or MEET (with the total cost and a cost-per-minute line so timeboxes get budgeted like money).
Quick start
# 1. Gate the meeting — should it exist?
python skills/meetings/scripts/meeting_cost_calculator.py --sample
# 2. Build the timeboxed, decision-first agenda
python skills/meetings/scripts/agenda_builder.py --sample
# 3. After the meeting: extract owned action items from raw notes
python skills/meetings/scripts/action_item_extractor.py --sample
Or just say "should this be a meeting?" / "pull the action items out of these notes", or run
/cs:meeting-prep and /cs:meeting-actions.

Not the same as
project-management/— team ceremonies, sprint cadence, Jira delivery flow. This is personal meeting hygiene: one meeting, one gate, one agenda, one checklist.business-operations/internal-comms— org-level communication channel design. This never designs a comms program and never auto-sends anything.productivity/capture— triages your own brain-dump. This extracts owned actions from a shared meeting's notes.
