Convert a meeting into async work that actually decides — the doc-plus-deadline format that replaces the room, the comment-window rules, the decision-closure step that async usually fumbles, and the honest test for what still needs synchronous. Use when asked can this meeting be async, replace our status meeting with a doc, run this decision without a call, or async isn't working for us. Produces the conversion design, the async artifact format, the closure protocol, and the still-needs-a-room list.

# Async Instead Skill

"This meeting could have been an email" is true more often than the email would have worked — because async fails without structure: the doc nobody read, the thread that discussed forever and decided never. A working conversion replaces the meeting's *functions*, not just its slot: information transfer becomes a doc with a read-by date; discussion becomes a bounded comment window; decision becomes an explicit closure step with a named decider and a deadline — the part async most often fumbles and the part this skill enforces. And some things genuinely need rooms; the honest list is part of the design.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The conversion design** — the meeting's functions mapped to async mechanisms, with owners and deadlines
- **The artifact format** — the update-doc or decision-doc template that carries the load
- **The closure protocol** — how the async thread *ends*: the decider, the deadline, the decision recorded
- **The still-sync list** — what this meeting does that async can't, and the smaller room that remains
