Minutes is an open-source, local-first meeting recorder that transcribes meetings, calls, and voice memos on the device and stores the results as Markdown files. It is for people who want their meeting records available to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other MCP clients without uploading them. The catalogue add-ons extend agent workflows for querying and using those local meeting files.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.03234 | $0.03234 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01294 | $0.01294 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00647 | $0.00647 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00323 | $0.00323 |
Grade C, and why
minutes AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Recursive force deletehighDestructive command
rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Agent Instructions
This project uses bd (beads) for issue tracking. Run bd onboard to get started.
In this repo, beads is local-only: use it for structured issue tracking on your machine, but do not expect a shared Dolt remote.
Quick Reference
bd ready # Find available work
bd show <id> # View issue details
bd update <id> --claim # Claim work atomically
bd close <id> # Complete work
GitHub Discussions
This repo has GitHub Discussions enabled (silverstein/minutes). Issues are for bugs and feature requests. Discussions are for usage questions, setup help, and community show-and-tell.
Agent guidelines:
- When triaging an issue that's really a "how do I...?" question, suggest converting it to a Discussion rather than closing it
- When a user's bug report turns out to be a config/setup issue, answer it and note that Discussions is the better venue for follow-ups
- After shipping a feature or fix, check if any open Q&A discussions are resolved by the change — post a reply pointing to the release
- When writing user-facing error messages or help text, link to Discussions (not Issues) for support:
https://github.com/silverstein/minutes/discussions - Don't file Discussions as work items — they're community conversations, not tracked tasks
Portable Agent Skills (.agents/skills/minutes/, .opencode/skills/)
This repo maintains skill outputs in three locations:
.claude/plugins/minutes/— Claude Code plugin (uses${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}).agents/skills/minutes/— Agent-agnostic mirror for Codex, Gemini, Pi, and other agents (uses$MINUTES_SKILLS_ROOT).opencode/skills/— OpenCode-native mirror (one-level discovery path + matching.opencode/commands/)
What lives where:
SKILL.mdfiles are mirrored 1:1. Content is identical except for path variables and platform-specific references (e.g., "open in desktop app" in the plugin version becomes a CLI command in the agents version)._runtime/hooks/lib/containsminutes-learn.mjsandminutes-learn-cli.mjs— the behavioral learning system. These must stay byte-identical across.agents/skills/minutes/_runtime/hooks/lib/and.opencode/skills/_runtime/hooks/lib/.- Bundled scripts (for example
scripts/tag_apply.py) are mirrored into both portable trees. .opencode/commands/*.mdprovides native/minutes-*slash commands for OpenCode and is generated from the same canonical skill sources.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
