At a glance

Add a note to the current recording or annotate a past meeting.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Mark this as important

What it does

Minutes Note is an agent skill from silverstein/minutes. Add a note to the current recording or annotate a past meeting. Use whenever the user says "note that", "remember this", "mark this as important", "add a note about", "annotate the meeting", or wants to capture a thought during or after a recording. Plain text input — no markdown needed.

Its SKILL.md is about 550 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: opencode

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Markdown. The repository describes itself as: Open-source, local-first Granola/Otter alternative that Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and any MCP client can query. Meetings, calls, and voice memos transcribed on-device into… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says note that
  • Mark this as important
  • Add a note about
  • Annotate the meeting

Example prompts

  • “note that”
  • “remember this”
  • “mark this as important”
  • “/minutes-note”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): opencode

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d3285c7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    opencode

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Minutes Note loads about 548 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 212 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~548

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Add a note to the current recording or annotate a past meeting. Use whenever the user says "note that", "remember this", "mark this as important", "add a note about", "annotate the meeting", or wants to capture a thought during or after a recording. Plain text input — no markdown needed.

opencode

/minutes-note

Add a timestamped note during a recording, or annotate a past meeting.

During a recording

bash
# 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

bash
# 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 --meeting requires a recording in progress. Check with minutes status first. If no recording is active, use --meeting <path> to annotate an existing file.
  • --meeting requires the full path — Use the exact path from minutes list or minutes 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 - lists will 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"'.
