What We Promised, With Receipts

Query across recorded calls for commitments and demand a meeting, a date, a speaker and the sentence for every item.

What it is for

A three-pass query pattern over a library of recorded calls: commitments with quotes, topics that never came up, and answers that changed between calls. Use it before a renewal, an escalation or a handover. It prevents relying on a confident cross-meeting summary that no one can trace back to a sentence anybody actually said.

The skill

Use this when you need to know what was actually said to a person or
about a topic across many recorded calls - before a renewal, a
handover, an escalation, or a review.

Ask across your meetings, not inside one. Ask in this shape:

  Across every call with [company/person] since [date]: what did we
  commit to, what did they commit to, and what changed?
  For each item give me the meeting name, the date, the speaker, and
  the sentence they said. If you cannot produce a sentence, leave the
  item out.

Then discard everything with no sentence attached. A synthesised claim
with no quote is a guess wearing a summary's clothes.

Second pass, because absence is the expensive part:

  List the topics I asked about that never appear in any of these
  calls.

Third pass, for what actually causes disputes:

  Find every place our answer to the same question changed between
  calls. Show both versions with their dates.

Before you use any of it:
- Open the meeting at the timestamp and listen to ten seconds around
  the quote. Tone, hedging and "no, wait" live outside the transcript.
- Check who was on that call. A promise made to someone who has since
  left is still a promise, but you brief it differently.

Hand the receipts over with the summary: date, meeting, name, quote.
One line each.

The failure this prevents: opening a renewal with "you agreed to this
in March" and being shown that in March you said "possibly".

How to install it

1. Open the tool and start a new conversation, project or template.
2. Paste the text below wherever the tool keeps standing instructions
   — usually called system prompt, instructions, or persona.
3. Save it so it applies to every run rather than a single message.
