What it is
Templates for every meeting type - standup, one-on-one, brainstorm, decision, retrospective - with timing, outcomes, and follow-up tracking built in.
A skill is a written procedure a bot loads when a job calls for it. This one is a single file, SKILL.md, and the whole file is on this page.
Each of these library teams gives its bots this skill. Import one and look inside first.
The whole file, exactly as it downloads. Read it before you rely on it.

Ask Ember for the bot, then switch the skill on in its settings.
Step 1
Send your Chief of Staff this message. It proposes the bot and its role first, and creates it when you say go.
Send this to Ember
“Create a bot that uses the Meeting Agenda Generator skill, and show me the plan first.”
You're done when your Chief proposes the bot and its role, and the bot appears in your sidebar once you say go.
Step 2
You're done when you see the bot’s skills and the library.
Step 3
You're done when the skill shows as on for that bot.
Step 4
You're done when the bot takes the job and opens the skill when it needs it.
