| description | Add a note to the current recording or annotate a past meeting. Use whenever the user says "note that", "remember this", "mark this as important", "add a note about", "annotate the meeting", or wants to capture a thought during or after a recording. Plain text input — no markdown needed. |
/minutes-note
Add a timestamped note during a recording, or annotate a past meeting.
During a recording
minutes note "Alex wants monthly billing not annual billing"
minutes note "Case agreed — compromise at monthly billing for experiment"
Each 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.
After a meeting
minutes note "Follow-up: Alex confirmed via email on Mar 18" --meeting ~/meetings/2026-03-17-pricing-call.md
Appends to the ## Notes section of the meeting file with a date stamp.
Tips
- Notes are plain text — just type what you're thinking, no formatting needed
- Short notes work best: "pricing pushback" > "Alex expressed concerns about the current pricing structure and suggested..."
- Notes are searchable via
minutes search
Gotchas
- 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.
--meeting requires the full path — Use the exact path from minutes list or minutes search, e.g., --meeting ~/meetings/2026-03-17-pricing-call.md. Tab completion works.- Notes don't support markdown — The note content is plain text. Markdown formatting like
**bold** or - lists will be stored literally, not rendered.
- Quotes in notes need escaping — If your note contains quotes, wrap the whole thing in single quotes or escape them:
minutes note 'Alex said "no way"'.
