The instructions your AI receives, as published by silverstein/minutes in .opencode/skills/minutes-ideas/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Surface voice memos and ideas captured from any device in the last 14 days. This is the recall layer for the cross-device ghost context pipeline.

How to run

  1. Search for recent voice memos using the minutes CLI:
minutes list --content-type memo --limit 20
  1. Require exit status 0 and use the JSON written to stdout. If the CLI is unavailable or fails, report the memo source unavailable; never scan the memo directory directly.

  2. Present the memos as a clean list:

    • Date, title, duration, device (if from iPhone)
    • Ask: "Want to dig into any of these?"
  3. If the user picks one, run minutes get "<exact path>" --json, require exit status 0, and present only the returned transcript/summary. Never reopen the list path through the host filesystem.

Ghost Context

These memos were captured on the user's phone (or Mac) and automatically transcribed by the Minutes watcher. They may contain ideas, thoughts, observations, or reminders that the user recorded while away from their desk.

When the user asks "what was that idea I had while walking?" — search these memos first, then broaden to full meeting search if needed.
