minutes-verify

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.

5## How to verify
6
7Run the verification script included with this skill:
8
9```bash
10bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/minutes-verify/scripts/verify-setup.sh"
11```
12
13The script checks each component and outputs a pass/fail status for each. Read the output and report results to the user.
14
15## What gets checked
16
17| Check | What it verifies |
18|-------|-----------------|
19| Binary | `minutes` command exists on PATH |
20| Model | At least one whisper model downloaded in `~/.minutes/models/` or `~/.cache/whisper/` |
21| Meetings dir | `~/meetings/` directory exists |
22| Memos dir | `~/meetings/memos/` directory exists |
23| PID state | No stale PID file in `~/.minutes/recording.pid` |
24| Audio input | CLI-context audio input visibility (macOS only; desktop readiness is authoritative for the signed app) |
25| Config | `~/.config/minutes/config.toml` exists (optional — defaults work fine) |
26| Spotlight privacy | macOS `.metadata_never_index` markers exist for `~/.minutes` and `~/meetings` when those directories exist |
27
28## After verification
29
30If any checks fail, tell the user exactly what to do:
31
32- **Binary missing** → `cargo build --release` in the minutes repo, then add to PATH
33- **No model** → `minutes setup --model small` (recommended) or `--model tiny` (faster, lower quality)
34- **No meetings dir** → `mkdir -p ~/meetings/memos` — will also be created on first recording
35…
