What it does

Minutes Recap is an agent skill from silverstein/minutes. Generate a daily digest of today's policy-authorized meetings and voice memos — key decisions, action items, and themes across available recordings. Use when the user asks "recap my day", "what happened in my meetings today", "daily summary", "what did I discuss today", "any action items from today", or wants a consolidated view of the day's conversations.

Its SKILL.md is about 930 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `templates/daily-recap.md`). Compatibility notes: opencode

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Transcription. 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 asks recap my day
  • What happened in my meetings today
  • What did I discuss today
  • Any action items from today

Example prompts

  • “recap my day”
  • “what happened in my meetings today”
  • “daily summary”
  • “/minutes-recap”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): opencode

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Find today's recordings from the bounded live list
  2. Read each selected recording with
  3. Synthesize into a daily brief — use the template in templates/daily-recap.md as a starting point, adapting sections based on what actually…
  4. Present the recap directly in the conversation — don't save it to a file unless asked.

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 Recap loads about 931 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 480 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~931

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.

Skill Path

Before running helper scripts or opening bundled references, set:

bash
export MINUTES_SKILLS_ROOT="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.opencode/skills"
export MINUTES_SKILL_ROOT="$MINUTES_SKILLS_ROOT/minutes-recap"

/minutes-recap

Synthesize today's policy-authorized normal meetings and voice memos into a single daily brief. Restricted history is excluded from this agent workflow by default and must never be treated as absent evidence.

How to generate the recap

  1. Find today's recordings from the bounded live list:

    bash
    minutes list --limit 50

    Require exit status 0, parse the JSON written to stdout, and select entries whose date is today. A date string is not a search query.

  2. Read each selected recording with minutes get "<exact path>" --json. Require exit status 0 and use only the returned content. Never reopen list paths through the host filesystem.

  3. Synthesize into a daily brief — use the template in templates/daily-recap.md as a starting point, adapting sections based on what actually exists in the day's recordings.

  4. Present the recap directly in the conversation — don't save it to a file unless asked.

What makes a good recap

  • Cross-reference across meetings: if pricing came up in two different calls, note that
  • Surface conflicts: if Meeting A decided X but Meeting B discussed doing Y, flag it
  • Prioritize action items: these are the things the user needs to act on
  • Include voice memos: ideas captured on the go are easy to forget — surface them
  • If there are no meetings or memos today, say so clearly rather than making something up

Interactive conflict detection

When you find conflicts between meetings (e.g., different decisions on the same topic, contradictory action items, or shifted priorities), don't just note them — ask the user about them.

Use AskUserQuestion: "I found a conflict between your meetings today: [Meeting A] decided [X], but [Meeting B] discussed doing [Y]. Which one is current?"

Options should include:

  • The decision from Meeting A
  • The decision from Meeting B
  • "Neither — it's still unresolved"
  • "Both are valid in different contexts"

This turns the recap from a passive report into an active reconciliation tool. Surface at most 2-3 conflicts per recap to avoid fatigue.

Gotchas

  • No recordings today ≠ an error — If there are no meetings or memos for today, say "No recordings found for today" and offer to search a different date range. Don't hallucinate a recap.
  • Voice memos are easy to miss — They live in ~/meetings/memos/, not the main ~/meetings/ directory. The search command includes both, but double-check if the user says "I recorded a voice memo today" and you don't see it.
  • Meetings without LLM summarization have less structure — If a meeting file only has a raw transcript (no Summary, Decisions, or Action Items sections), you'll need to extract insights yourself from the transcript text. Check the YAML frontmatter for action_items: and decisions: fields.
  • Cross-day meetings — A meeting that started at 11 PM and ended at 1 AM will be dated by its start time. If the user asks "what happened today" and is missing a late-night meeting, check yesterday's date too.
