1# Agenda Or Cancel Skill
2 
3The agenda isn't paperwork — it's the meeting's existence test. A meeting whose organizer can't write three lines (what this is for, what we'll decide, what to read first) is a meeting that hasn't earned its attendee-hours, and the kindest outcome is its cancellation or conversion to a message. This skill writes the agenda when one can be written, renders the cancel verdict when it can't, and scripts the graceful exits — because "no agenda, no meeting" only works as a norm when declining is socially cheap.

5## What This Skill Produces

7- **The three-line agenda** — purpose (one sentence), decisions/outcomes sought (listed), pre-reads with time cost
8- **The verdict** — happen / shorten / convert-to-async / cancel — from the agenda-writing attempt itself
9- **The scripts** — the polite cancel, the convert-to-message, and the decline-without-agenda lines
10- **The norm rollout** — how a team installs the rule without a compliance war

12## Required Inputs

14Ask for these if not provided:
15- **The meeting's claimed purpose** — what the organizer thinks it's for; the agenda attempt tests whether that survives writing down
16- **The attendee list and length** — the cost side (people × time), which the purpose must justify
17- **What a good outcome looks like** — a decision? alignment? information moved? If the outcome is "information moved," the convert-to-async branch is already winning
