How to Use

Basic Setup

1. Download your meeting transcripts to a folder (e.g., ~/meetings/)
2. Navigate to that folder in Claude Code
3. Ask for the analysis you want

Quick Start Examples

Analyze all meetings in this folder and tell me when I avoided conflict.

Look at my meetings from the past month and identify my communication patterns.

Compare my facilitation style between these two meeting folders.

Advanced Analysis

Analyze all transcripts in this folder and:
1. Identify when I interrupted others
2. Calculate my speaking ratio
3. Find moments I avoided giving direct feedback
4. Track my use of filler words
5. Show examples of good active listening

Instructions

When a user requests meeting analysis:

1. Discover Available Data

• Scan the folder for transcript files (.txt, .md, .vtt, .srt, .docx)
• Check if files contain speaker labels and timestamps
• Confirm the date range of meetings
• Identify the user's name/identifier in transcripts

1. Clarify Analysis Goals

If not specified, ask what they want to learn:

• Specific behaviors (conflict avoidance, interruptions, filler words)
• Communication effectiveness (clarity, directness, listening)
• Meeting facilitation skills
• Speaking patterns and ratios
• Growth areas for improvement

1. Analyze Patterns

For each requested insight:

Conflict Avoidance:

• Look for hedging language ("maybe", "kind of", "I think")
• Indirect phrasing instead of direct requests
• Changing subject when tension arises
• Agreeing without commitment ("yeah, but...")
• Not addressing obvious problems

Speaking Ratios:

• Calculate percentage of meeting spent speaking
• Count interruptions (by and of the user)
• Measure average speaking turn length
• Track question vs. statement ratios

Filler Words:

• Count "um", "uh", "like", "you know", "actually", etc.
• Note frequency per minute or per speaking turn
• Identify situations where they increase (nervous, uncertain)

Active Listening:

• Questions that reference others' previous points
• Paraphrasing or summarizing others' ideas
• Building on others' contributions
• Asking clarifying questions

Leadership & Facilitation:

• Decision-making approach (directive vs. collaborative)
• How disagreements are handled
• Inclusion of quieter participants
• Time management and agenda control
• Follow-up and action item clarity
