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.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00067 | $0.00499 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00034 | $0.00249 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00100 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00050 |
Grade A, and why
minutes-note scanned grade A with 0 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 7d 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.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
/minutes-note
Add a timestamped note during a recording, or annotate a past meeting.
During a recording
# Add a note to the active recording (auto-timestamped)
minutes note "Alex wants monthly billing not annual billing"
minutes note "Case agreed — compromise at monthly billing for experiment"
Each note gets a timestamp matching the recording position (e.g., [4:23]). Notes feed into the LLM summarizer as high-priority context — the AI knows what you thought was important and weights those parts of the transcript more heavily in the summary.
After a meeting
# Annotate an existing meeting file
minutes note "Follow-up: Alex confirmed via email on Mar 18" --meeting ~/meetings/2026-03-17-pricing-call.md
Appends to the ## Notes section of the meeting file with a date stamp.
Tips
- Notes are plain text — just type what you're thinking, no formatting needed
- Short notes work best: "pricing pushback" > "Alex expressed concerns about the current pricing structure and suggested..."
- Notes are searchable via
minutes search
Gotchas
- Must have an active recording for live notes —
minutes note "..."without--meetingrequires a recording in progress. Check withminutes statusfirst. If no recording is active, use--meeting <path>to annotate an existing file. --meetingrequires the full path — Use the exact path fromminutes listorminutes search, e.g.,--meeting ~/meetings/2026-03-17-pricing-call.md. Tab completion works.- Notes don't support markdown — The note content is plain text. Markdown formatting like
**bold**or- listswill be stored literally, not rendered. - Quotes in notes need escaping — If your note contains quotes, wrap the whole thing in single quotes or escape them:
minutes note 'Alex said "no way"'.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

minutes-note is a skill published in the GitHub repository silverstein/minutes (1,467 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 499 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
