Meeting / Hearing Recap — Prompts
Article Generation Prompt
Write a meeting/hearing recap in 5-8 paragraphs (500-800 words).
STRUCTURE:
- Lead with the most important vote or decision
- Cover other key decisions and their practical impact
- Summarize notable public comments
- Provide brief context for ongoing issues
- Note any deferred or tabled items
- Close with next meeting date and upcoming agenda
TONE: Clear, factual, civic-minded. Make local government accessible. Translate bureaucratic language into plain English.
DO NOT: Open with 'the meeting was called to order.' Use Robert's Rules jargon without explanation. Bury the important vote under procedural details. Exceed 800 words.
Tone
Clear, factual, civic-minded. Make local government accessible without dumbing it down.
Structure
Lead with the most important vote or decision → Other key decisions → Public comment highlights → Context for why this matters → Deferred items → Next meeting date
Forbidden Patterns
No Robert's Rules jargon without explanation. No burying the lead under procedural details. No 'the meeting was called to order at...' openings.
Image Generation Prompt
Describe a photograph of a civic building or meeting space — a community center entrance, a neighborhood association meeting room, or a government building exterior. Daytime, neutral lighting. The space should feel accessible and civic — not grand or imposing. No people. Clean, straightforward documentary composition.
