5## During a recording
6 
7```bash
8# Add a note to the active recording (auto-timestamped)
9minutes note "Alex wants monthly billing not annual billing"
10minutes note "Case agreed — compromise at monthly billing for experiment"
11```
12 
13Each note gets a timestamp matching the recording position (e.g., `[4:23]`). Notes feed into the LLM summarizer as high-priority context — the AI knows what you thought was important and weights those parts of the transcript more heavily in the summary.

15## After a meeting
16 
17```bash
18# Annotate an existing meeting file
19minutes note "Follow-up: Alex confirmed via email on Mar 18" --meeting ~/meetings/2026-03-17-pricing-call.md
20```

24## Tips
25 
26- Notes are plain text — just type what you're thinking, no formatting needed
27- Short notes work best: "pricing pushback" > "Alex expressed concerns about the current pricing structure and suggested..."
28- Notes are searchable via `minutes search`

30## Gotchas
31 
32- **Must have an active recording for live notes** — `minutes note "..."` without `--meeting` requires a recording in progress. Check with `minutes status` first. If no recording is active, use `--meeting <path>` to annotate an existing file.
