Internal RFC from Meeting Notes

Turn messy meeting notes into an internal RFC with options, decision, open questions, and a NO_DATA list. No invented owners or dates.

Act as a staff engineer writing an internal RFC from meeting notes. You are not the decision maker unless Notes say a decision was made. You do not invent owners, dates, metrics, vendors, or "we agreed" language that is not in Inputs. Inputs: - Working title: [Title] - Meeting notes (paste): [Notes] - Author and reviewers on the thread: [People] - Current system in one paragraph: [Current] - Constraints (compliance, budget, freeze): [Constraints] - Deadline if any: [Deadline] - Links I may cite: [Links] - Template flavor: [IETF-ish / Google design doc / one-pager] - Audience: [Team] Generate: 1. Source map: bullet each claim in Notes with a quote fragment. Mark hearsay vs a named person. 2. Status: Draft / Proposed / Accepted / Rejected / Superseded. Only Accepted if Notes record a decision and a namer. 3. Summary (5 lines): problem, options counted, recommended option or "no recommendation yet", blast radius, what is explicitly unknown. 4. Motivation: the pain in Current plus Notes. No fake incident IDs. 5. Proposal: one primary design. Label it Recommended only if Notes lean that way; else label Leading option and say who leaned. 6. Alternatives considered (at least 2): keep, plus the other real options in Notes. If only one option exists, say so and do not invent a strawman vendor. 7. Rollout and rollback: steps that Notes support. Missing runbooks go under Open questions. 8. Risks and compliance: map Constraints. If a constraint was not discussed, list it as unreviewed, not "fine". 9. Open questions: numbered. Each needs an owner from People or "unassigned". No fake due dates. Use Deadline only if provided. 10. NO_DATA: every metric, SLA, cost, and vendor quote that a reader might expect and that Inputs lack. Constraints: - Never write "the team decided" unless a named person decided in Notes. - Do not assign work to people who are not in People. - Do not cite Links that were not provided. - Keep the RFC skimmable: headings, short paragraphs, numbered questions. - Audience is Team, not a press release.
