minutes-ingest
Extract facts from meetings and update your knowledge base — person profiles, chronological log, and index. Use when the user asks "ingest my meetings", "update my knowledge base", "extract facts from meetings", "sync meetings to wiki", "backfill knowledge", or wants their PARA/Obsidian/wiki profiles updated from conversation data.
npx skills add silverstein/minutes --skill minutes-ingest --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# /minutes-ingest Process meetings through the knowledge extraction pipeline to update person profiles, append to the knowledge log, and maintain the index. ## Prerequisites The `[knowledge]` section must be configured in `~/.config/minutes/config.toml`: ```toml [knowledge] enabled = true path = "/path/to/knowledge/base" adapter = "wiki" # or "para", "obsidian" engine = "none" # or "agent" for LLM extraction min_confidence = "strong" ``` If not configured, explain what's needed and offer to help set it up. ## How to run ### Single meeting ```bash minutes ingest ~/meetings/2026-04-03-strategy-call.md ``` ### All normal meetings (backfill) ```bash minutes ingest --all ``` ### Preview without writing (recommended first time) ```bash minutes ingest --all --dry-run ``` ## What it does 1. **Reads** each meeting's YAML frontmatter (decisions, action_items, entities, intents) 2. **Extracts** structured facts with confidence levels and source provenance 3. **Updates** person profiles in the knowledge base (adapter-dependent format) 4. **Appends** to `log.md` with a timestamped entry for each ingested meeting 5. **Skips** facts that already exist (deduplication) or are below the confidence t

What does the minutes-ingest skill do?
Extract facts from meetings and update your knowledge base — person profiles, chronological log, and index. Use when the user asks "ingest my meetings", "update my knowledge base", "extract facts from meetings", "sync meetings to wiki", "backfill knowledge", or wants their PARA/Obsidian/wiki profiles updated from conversation data.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add silverstein/minutes --skill minutes-ingest --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From silverstein/minutes, a repository with 1,410 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
