Agent skill fromsilverstein/minutes
Verify that Minutes is properly set up and working — model downloaded, mic accessible, directories exist, no stale state. Use when the user says "is minutes working", "check my setup", "verify minutes", "test recording setup", "why isn't minutes working", "minutes health check", or after running setup for the first time.
