Lark Workflow Meeting Summary

Lark Workflow Meeting Summary:

Automate and Structure Your Meeting Notes

What Is This Skill?

Lark Workflow Meeting Summary is a command-line workflow skill designed to automate the summarization, extraction, and structuring of meeting notes within a specified time range from Lark's video conferencing (VC) module. By leveraging the Lark CLI and its underlying APIs, this workflow gathers all meetings within a defined period, retrieves associated meeting minutes (notes), and generates a structured summary report. The skill is intended for users who need to organize, review, or report on meetings efficiently, such as creating weekly summaries or periodic meeting reviews.

This skill integrates several Lark CLI modules (vc, drive) and requires user-level authentication to operate. It is particularly useful for teams that rely on Lark for collaboration and need consistent, automated documentation of their meeting activities.

Why Use the Lark Workflow Meeting Summary Skill?

Manual collation of meeting notes is time-consuming and error-prone, especially in organizations where multiple meetings occur daily or weekly. The Lark Workflow Meeting Summary skill addresses these pain points by:

• Automating the search and retrieval of meeting records and notes within a user-defined or inferred time range.
• Generating structured reports for easy review, documentation, or sharing.
• Ensuring consistency in the way meeting information is summarized and reported.
• Reducing repetitive manual work for team leaders, project managers, and administrative staff.

Typical use cases include weekly meeting reviews, preparing periodic reports, and quickly referencing what meetings occurred during a certain period.

How to Use the Lark Workflow Meeting Summary Skill

1. Prerequisites

• User Identity Required: Only individual user authentication is supported.
• Lark CLI Installed: Ensure the lark-cli binary is available on your system.
• Proper Authorization: Must log in to the required domains before executing the workflow.

## For basic querying and note retrieval
lark-cli auth login --domain vc

## For reading note document content and generating new documents
lark-cli auth login --domain vc,drive

2. Workflow

Overview

The workflow comprises several logical steps:

1. Determine the Time Range
2. Query Meetings within the Time Range
3. Retrieve Notes Metadata for Each Meeting
4. Generate a Structured Summary Report

Step 1:

Determine the Time Range

• The default range is the last 7 days.
• Intelligent inference for common expressions:
  • "today": current day
  • "this week": Monday to now
  • "last week": previous Monday to previous Sunday
  • "this month": first day of month to now

Important: Always use system commands (such as date) to format dates, never calculate by hand. Format dates as YYYY-MM-DD or ISO 8601 as required by the CLI.

Step 2:

Query Meeting Records

Use lark-cli vc +search to retrieve meetings in the time range. The command supports pagination and outputs results in JSON format.

lark-cli vc +search --start "<YYYY-MM-DD>" --end "<YYYY-MM-DD>" --format json --page-size 30

Key Points:

• Maximum search window: 1 month. For longer periods, split into multiple 1-month queries.
• The --end argument is inclusive (e.g., for "today," set both --start and --end to today).
• --page-size max is 30. Use the page_token field to handle pagination and collect all meeting IDs.

Example Pagination Loop:

## Pseudocode
page_token=""
while true; do
  output=$(lark-cli vc +search --start "2024-06-01" --end "2024-06-07" --format json --page-size 30 --page-token "$page_token")
  extract meeting_ids from output
  page_token=$(extract_next_page_token from output)
  if [ -z "$page_token" ]; then break; fi
done

Step 3:

Retrieve Meeting Notes Metadata

For each meeting ID, fetch the associated notes document tokens, then use the drive module to batch query metadata for those documents. This step may involve additional commands, depending on your organization's Lark CLI extensions.

Step 4:

Generate the Structured Summary

Aggregate the relevant metadata and notes content to produce a final structured JSON or markdown report, suitable for review or sharing.

When to Use This Skill

• Weekly or Monthly Meeting Reviews: When you need a high-level summary or detailed report of all meetings in a period.
• Project Documentation: To maintain an up-to-date record of project-related meetings and their outcomes.
• Auditing and Compliance: When an accurate, timestamped record of meetings and decisions is required.
• Quick Meeting Lookups: For questions like "What meetings did we have today?" or "Show me all meetings from last week."

Important Notes

• Authentication is Mandatory: The workflow will not function without proper user-level authorization for the relevant Lark domains (vc, drive).
• Date Handling: Always use system utilities for date calculations and formatting. Do not hardcode or guess date formats.
• Pagination: The command only returns up to 30 results per page. Always implement pagination logic to ensure complete data retrieval.
• Time Range Limits: Maximum query window is 1 month per request. For longer periods, split the time frame into chunks.
• User Identity Only: The workflow does not support bot or service account identities.
