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

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.
## 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: | Model | Size | Speed | Quality | Best for | |-------|------|-------|---------|----------| | `tiny` | 75 MB | ~10x real-time | Low | Quick tests, short memos | | `small` | 466 MB | ~4x real-time | Good | Daily meetings (recommended) | | `medium` | 1.5 GB | ~2x real-time | Great | Important meetings, accents | |

What does the minutes-setup skill do?
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.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add silverstein/minutes --skill minutes-setup --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.
