minutes-verify

Verify that Minutes is properly set up and working — model downloaded, mic accessible, directories exist, no stale state. Use when the user says "is minutes working", "check my setup", "verify minutes", "test recording setup", "why isn't minutes working", "minutes health check", or after running setup for the first time.

/minutes-verify

Run a health check on the Minutes installation to confirm everything is working.

How to verify

Run the verification script included with this skill:

bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/minutes-verify/scripts/verify-setup.sh"

The script checks each component and outputs a pass/fail status for each. Read the output and report results to the user.

What gets checked

CheckWhat it verifies
Binaryminutes command exists on PATH
ModelAt least one whisper model downloaded in ~/.minutes/models/ or ~/.cache/whisper/
Meetings dir~/meetings/ directory exists
Memos dir~/meetings/memos/ directory exists
PID stateNo stale PID file in ~/.minutes/recording.pid
Audio inputCLI-context audio input visibility (macOS only; desktop readiness is authoritative for the signed app)
Config~/.config/minutes/config.toml exists (optional — defaults work fine)
Spotlight privacymacOS .metadata_never_index markers exist for ~/.minutes and ~/meetings when those directories exist

After verification

If any checks fail, tell the user exactly what to do:

  • Binary missing → cargo build --release in the minutes repo, then add to PATH
  • No model → minutes setup --model small (recommended) or --model tiny (faster, lower quality)
  • No meetings dir → mkdir -p ~/meetings/memos — will also be created on first recording
  • Stale PID → rm ~/.minutes/recording.pid — previous recording crashed without cleanup
  • Audio input warning → Treat as CLI-context-only. If the signed desktop app's Readiness Center shows Audio input/Microphone as ready, trust the desktop app identity.
  • Spotlight privacy warning → Open the desktop app or run minutes setup so Minutes can recreate the .metadata_never_index markers.

Gotchas

  • The script is macOS-specific for the audio input check (uses system_profiler). On Linux, that check will be skipped. On macOS, shell-context checks can disagree with the signed desktop app; use the desktop Readiness Center for TCC-sensitive truth.
  • "Model not found" is the #1 setup issue — most people forget to run minutes setup after building.
  • Config file is optional — if ~/.config/minutes/config.toml doesn't exist, that's fine. Minutes uses compiled defaults. Only flag it as "not configured" (informational), not as an error.
  • Spotlight privacy uses folder markers — Minutes verifies .metadata_never_index; it does not disable Spotlight indexing for the whole user volume.

minutes-brief

Free

Fast non-interactive briefing before any meeting — auto-detects your next calendar event, pulls relationship history, surfaces open commitments, and produces a one-page brief in under 30 seconds. Use this whenever the user says "brief me", "give me a quick brief", "what's coming up", "background on my next call", "who am I meeting next", "brief me on Sarah", "I have a call in 10 min", "quick rundown", or right before walking into a meeting. Different from /minutes-prep — brief is the fast hook-fireable version that doesn't ask questions and doesn't set goals. Use brief when speed matters; use prep when the user wants to think hard about goals first.

minutes-cleanup

minutes-copilot

Free

Start and control Minutes Coach, the separate real-time copilot HUD, with an explicit meeting goal. Use only for explicit Coach or HUD lifecycle requests such as "start Minutes Coach", "open the Coach HUD", "pause Minutes Coach", "resume Minutes Coach", "Minutes Coach status", or "stop Minutes Coach". Do not use for requests that explicitly ask the current terminal agent to watch or strategize; those belong to minutes-live-sidekick. An ambiguous request such as "coach me live" requires one short surface clarification and must not automatically start Coach.

Use when the user says "debrief", "what just happened in that meeting", "what did we decide", "debrief that call", "post-meeting", "what changed", or right after stopping a recording.
