Guided first-time setup for Minutes — download whisper model, create directories, configure audio input.

  • Works in 7 steps: Check current state first → Build the binary (if needed) → Download a whisper model → …
  • The user says set up minutes
  • SKILL.md covers Skill Path, Setup steps and Gotchas
  • Calls bash, git and xcrun

What it does

Minutes Setup is an agent skill from majiayu000/claude-skill-registry. Guided first-time setup for Minutes — download whisper model, create directories, configure audio input. Use when the user says "set up minutes", "install minutes", "first time setup", "configure minutes", "get started with minutes", "how do I start using minutes", or when verify shows missing components.

Its SKILL.md is about 760 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `metadata.json`). Compatibility notes: opencode

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Speech recognition and synthesis. It works with Bash. The repository describes itself as: Searchable Claude Code skills catalog with source-linked guides and generated registry artifacts. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says set up minutes
  • Install minutes
  • First time setup
  • Configure minutes

Example prompts

  • “set up minutes”
  • “install minutes”
  • “first time setup”
  • “/minutes-setup”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): opencode

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Check current state first
  2. Build the binary (if needed)
  3. Download a whisper model
  4. Create directories
  5. Audio input (if recording calls)
  6. Verify
  7. Test recording

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d14a69. 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:

    • bash
    • git
    • xcrun
    • cargo
    • brew

    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 Setup loads about 755 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 288 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~755

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-setup"

/minutes-setup

Walk the user through first-time Minutes setup, step by step.

Setup steps

1. Check current state first

Run the verify skill's script to see what's already done:

bash
bash "$MINUTES_SKILLS_ROOT/minutes-verify/scripts/verify-setup.sh"

Skip any steps that already pass.

2. Build the binary (if needed)
bash
cd ~/Sites/minutes
export CXXFLAGS="-I$(xcrun --show-sdk-path)/usr/include/c++/v1"
cargo build --release

The binary lands at target/release/minutes. The user should add it to their PATH or create a symlink.

3. Download a whisper model

Ask the user which quality level they want using AskUserQuestion:

ModelSizeSpeedQualityBest for
tiny75 MB~10x real-timeLowQuick tests, short memos
small466 MB~4x real-timeGoodDaily meetings (recommended)
medium1.5 GB~2x real-timeGreatImportant meetings, accents
large-v33.1 GB~1x real-timeBestLegal, medical, foreign language

Then run:

bash
minutes setup --model <chosen-model>
4. Create directories
bash
mkdir -p ~/meetings/memos
5. Audio input (if recording calls)

For in-person conversations, the built-in mic works fine. For Zoom/Meet/Teams:

  1. Install BlackHole: brew install blackhole-2ch
  2. Open Audio MIDI Setup (Spotlight → "Audio MIDI Setup")
  3. Create a Multi-Output Device combining speakers + BlackHole
  4. Set the Multi-Output Device as system output
  5. Set BlackHole as Minutes' input (or system default input)

See minutes-record/references/audio-devices.md for the full guide.

6. Verify

Run verify again to confirm everything passes:

bash
bash "$MINUTES_SKILLS_ROOT/minutes-verify/scripts/verify-setup.sh"
7. Test recording
bash
minutes record --title "Test recording"
# Speak for 10-15 seconds
minutes stop

Check the output file exists in ~/meetings/ and has a transcript.

Gotchas

  • macOS 26 (Tahoe) requires CXXFLAGS — The whisper.cpp build needs the C++ include path set explicitly. This is a known Apple SDK issue.
  • First model download can be slow — The small model is 466 MB. On slow connections, tiny is a good starting point (75 MB).
  • BlackHole setup is the hardest part — Most users struggle with the Audio MIDI Setup step. Offer to walk through it if they get stuck.
