Meeting Insights Analyzer This skill transforms your meeting transcripts into actionable insights about your communication patterns, helping you become a more effective communicator and leader. When to Use This Skill Analyzing your communication patterns across multiple meetings Getting feedback on your leadership and facilitation style Identifying when you avoid difficult conversations Understanding your speaking habits and filler words Tracking improvement in communication skills over time Preparing for performance reviews with concrete examples Coaching team members on their communication style What This Skill Does 1. Pattern Recognition : Identifies recurring behaviors across meetings like: Conflict avoidance or indirect communication Speaking ratios and turn taking Question asking vs. statement making patterns Active listening indicators Decision making approaches 2. Communication Analysis : Evaluates communication effectiveness: Clarity and directness Use of filler words and hedging language Tone and sentiment patterns Meeting control and facilitation 3. Actionable Feedback : Provides specific, timestamped examples with: What happened Why it matters How to improve 4. Trend Tracking : Compares patterns over time when analyzing multiple meetings How to Use Basic Setup 1. Download your meeting transcripts to a folder (e.g., ~/meetings/ ) 2. Navigate to that folder in Codex 3. Ask for the analysis you want Quick Start Examples Advanced Analysis 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 2. 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 3. 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 4. Provide Specific Examples For each pattern found, include: 5. Synthesize Insights After analyzing all patterns, provide: 6. Offer Follow Up Options Track these same metrics in future meetings Deep dive into specific meetings or patterns Compare to industry benchmarks Create a personal communication development plan Generate a summary for performance reviews Examples Example 1: Conflict Avoidance Analysis (Inspired by Dan Shipper) User : "I download all of my meeting recordings and put them in a folder. Tell me all the times I've subtly avoided conflict." Output : Example 2: Leadership Facilitation User : "Analyze my team meetings and tell me about my facilitation style." Output : Provides insights on: How much you speak vs. team members (60% vs. 40%) Whether you ask questions or make statements (3:1 ratio) How you handle disagreements (tendency to resolve too quickly) Who speaks least and whether you draw them in Examples of good and missed facilitation moments Example 3: Personal Development Tracking User : "Compare my meetings from Q1 vs. Q2 to see if I've improved my listening skills." Output : Creates a comparative analysis showing: Decrease in interruptions (8 per meeting → 3 per meeting) Increase in clarifying questions (2 → 7 per meeting) Improvement in building on others' ideas Specific examples showing the difference Remaining areas for growth Setup Tips Getting Meeting Transcripts From Granola (free with Lenny's newsletter subscription): Granola auto transcribes your meetings Export transcripts to a folder: [Instructions on how] Point Codex to that folder From Zoom : Enable cloud recording with transcription Download VTT or SRT files after meetings Store in a dedicated folder From Google Meet : Use Google Docs auto transcription Save transcript docs to a folder Download as .txt files or give Codex access From Fireflies.ai, Otter.ai, etc. : Export transcripts in bulk Store in a local folder Run analysis on the folder Best Practices 1.
