What it does
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.
Skill Path
Before running helper scripts or opening bundled references, set:
export MINUTES_SKILLS_ROOT="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/.agents/skills/minutes"
export MINUTES_SKILL_ROOT="$MINUTES_SKILLS_ROOT/minutes-verify"
/minutes-verify
Run a health check on the Minutes installation to confirm everything is working.
How to verify
Run the verification script included with this skill:
bash "$MINUTES_SKILL_ROOT/scripts/verify-setup.sh"
The script checks each component and outputs a pass/fail status for each. Read the output and report results to the user.
What gets checked
| Check | What it verifies |
|---|---|
| Binary | minutes command exists on PATH |
| Model | At least one whisper model downloaded in ~/.minutes/models/ or ~/.cache/whisper/ |
| Meetings dir | ~/meetings/ directory exists |
| Memos dir | ~/meetings/memos/ directory exists |
| PID state | No stale PID file in ~/.minutes/recording.pid |
| Audio input | CLI-context audio input visibility (macOS only; desktop readiness is authoritative for the signed app) |
| Config | ~/.config/minutes/config.toml exists (optional, defaults work fine) |
| Spotlight privacy | macOS .metadata_never_index markers exist for ~/.minutes and ~/meetings when those directories exist |
After verification
If any checks fail, tell the user exactly what to do:
