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.

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Record audio from the microphone, transcribe it locally with whisper.cpp, and save as searchable markdown.
Recording is a two-step process — start and stop. Between those two commands, audio is captured continuously from the default input device.
Start recording:
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:
minutes stop
This sends a signal to the recording process, which then:
~/meetings/Live transcript during recording:
While recording, Minutes streams a real-time transcript to ~/.minutes/live-transcript.jsonl. You can read it with:
minutes transcript # all lines
minutes transcript --since 42 # lines after cursor
minutes transcript --since 5m # last 5 minutes
minutes transcript --status # check if active
This lets you follow what's being discussed mid-meeting. The live output is rougher than the final transcript produced after stop -- it prioritizes speed over accuracy.
