⚠ This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (SKILL.md not found in repo tree). The test below is what we measured on Jul 20, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.
Fetched the recursive tree (a Rust monorepo + a Claude plugin with ~20-23 SKILL.md files) and read README, both plugin manifests, and minutes-brief/minutes-setup SKILL.md in full. Every operational skill shells out to the external `minutes` Rust binary (`minutes person/commitments/insights/search`) plus local hooks/lib mjs, so the skills are inert without a CLI I cannot install — OUTPUT is NOT measured (not a measured loss). Exfil grep across all hooks/scripts was clean; the sole network call (session-reminder.mjs) is a benign self-version check on the repo's own public plugin.json, silent on failure, no user data sent.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 4/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 3/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What Minutes does
Minutes is a Claude Code plugin (part of an open-source Rust conversation-memory app) bundling ~20 meeting-lifecycle skills — brief, prep, record, debrief, tag, weekly synthesis, entity graph. It triggers on meeting-memory phrasings like "brief me on Sarah", "what did I promise", or "record this call", orchestrating the local `minutes` CLI/MCP to turn transcripts into queryable markdown.
How to install Minutes
Nothing to install: the source repository no longer has this skill. If the author brings it back, our daily re-check will pick it up and the command will reappear here.
Commands — how to trigger Minutes

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
-
Make this meeting recording searchable by my AI -
Save this voice note so I can search it later -
Index our meeting notes into a searchable memory layer
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Minutes skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from silverstein/minutes. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Minutes work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 20, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. Fetched the recursive tree (a Rust monorepo + a Claude plugin with ~20-23 SKILL.md files) and read README, both plugin manifests, and minutes-brief/minutes-setup SKILL.md in full.

- What is the Minutes SkillProof Score?
- 6.4/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 3/10, docs & honesty 4/5.
- How do I install Minutes?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Minutes with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
