Start or stop recording a meeting, call, or voice memo. Use this whenever the user says "record", "start recording", "capture this meeting", "stop recording", "I'm in a meeting", "take notes on this call", or wants to transcribe live audio. Also use when they ask about recording status or want to know if something is being recorded.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

## Skill Path

Before running helper scripts or opening bundled references, set:

```bash
export MINUTES_SKILLS_ROOT="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.agents/skills/minutes"
export MINUTES_SKILL_ROOT="$MINUTES_SKILLS_ROOT/minutes-record"
```

# /minutes-record

Record audio from the microphone, transcribe it locally with whisper.cpp, and save as searchable markdown.

## How it works

Recording is a two-step process — start and stop. Between those two commands, audio is captured continuously from the default input device.

**Start recording:**
```bash
minutes record
# Or with a title:
minutes record --title "Weekly standup with Alex"
```

The process runs in the foreground. It captures audio from whatever input device is active — the built-in MacBook mic for in-person conversations, or a BlackHole virtual audio device for system audio (Zoom, Meet, Teams calls).

**Stop recording:**
```bash
minutes stop
```
This sends a signal to the recording process, which then:
1. Stops audio capture
2. Transcribes the audio locally via whisper.cpp (no cloud, no data leaves the machine)
3. Saves the transcript as a markdown file in `~/meetings/`
4. Prints the output path and word count as JSON
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add silverstein/minutes/minutes-record@sha256:1d6259627f102e68

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260725.9c1b406, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
