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.

SkillSpector: 3 findings, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- high Anti-Refusal · line 233 Skill instructs the agent to omit warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Stripping safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.Fix: Remove instructions that suppress warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Let the agent surface safety-relevant caveats to the user.
- medium Rogue Agent · line 169 Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
- medium Privilege Escalation · line 194 Commands invoke sudo or root privileges. Verify this elevated access is necessary and justified.Fix: Avoid sudo/root unless strictly required. Prefer least-privilege patterns. If elevation is needed, document the justification and scope.
What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00073 | $0.03009 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.01504 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00602 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00301 |
Grade B, and why
minutes-prep scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
chmod 600 ~/.minutes/preps/YYYY-MM-DD-{slug}.prep.md How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 239 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Skill Path
Before running helper scripts or opening bundled references, set:
export MINUTES_SKILLS_ROOT="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.agents/skills/minutes"
export MINUTES_SKILL_ROOT="$MINUTES_SKILLS_ROOT/minutes-prep"
/minutes-prep
Interactive meeting preparation that searches the normal conversation history authorized by Minutes, synthesizes a relationship brief, and produces talking points — before you walk into the room. Restricted history is excluded from this agent workflow by default and must never be treated as absent evidence.
How it works
This is a multi-phase interactive flow, not a single command. Walk the user through each phase using AskUserQuestion, pushing back on vague answers.
Phase 0: Calendar auto-detect (optional, runs first)
Before asking who the user is meeting with, check if upcoming meetings are available from any calendar source. Try these in order — use the first that works:
1. Google Calendar MCP (best — most Minutes users have Claude + MCP):
If mcp__claude_ai_Google_Calendar__gcal_list_events is available, query today's remaining events:
gcal_list_events(
timeMin: "<now ISO, e.g. 2026-03-19T14:00:00>",
timeMax: "<end of day, e.g. 2026-03-19T23:59:59>",
condenseEventDetails: false
)
Do NOT hardcode a timezone — omit the timeZone parameter so the MCP uses the user's calendar default. This returns attendees, event titles, and times. Parse the results to find the next upcoming meeting with other people (skip all-day events and events with no attendees).
2. gog CLI (if installed):
gog calendar list --today --json -a <account> 2>/dev/null
3. Apple Calendar (osascript) (every Mac, zero install):
osascript -e 'tell application "Calendar" to get {summary, start date} of (every event of every calendar whose start date >= (current date) and start date < ((current date) + 1 * days))'
4. Microsoft 365 / Outlook (m365 CLI) (if installed):
First check if m365 is installed and whether it's logged in:
command -v m365 2>/dev/null && m365 status --output json 2>/dev/null
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.
- 8d ago First seen · 239 lines · 73 tokens per session scan B fbb4898bc761
minutes-prep is a skill published in the GitHub repository silverstein/minutes (1,468 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 3,009 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
