ow-tools is a skill for Claude Code from asfbay-bit/opchain-skills. It costs 119 tokens per session (1,017 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup and status guide for ow-tools, the local utility used by related workflows for transcription, PDF and Word export, date checks, arithmetic checks, and workstream lists. It checks requirements and explains how to fix missing ones.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect installation requirements, understand missing transcription or document-export tools, and check setup again after making fixes.
Why use it?
It shows what is missing without installing software or handling credentials itself. This makes setup problems easier to identify while leaving system changes to the user.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ow-tools scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 36 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/ow-tools

ow-tools runs code on this machine. The ow- skills are text only; every piece of code they need is here. Without ow-tools they still work, using a transcript, notes or Markdown instead.

Steps

  1. Run ow-tools doctor --quick and show its output as it is. It checks each requirement and prints the command that fixes it. Run plain ow-tools doctor only when the user asks to verify the Whisper model's checksum (it reads 1.6 GB).
  2. Explain each MISS line in one plain sentence. Group them by what they unlock: transcription, PDF and Word export, PowerPoint export, or screenshots (capture). An opt line (pip-audit) is optional.
  3. The user runs the fixes in their own terminal. Never run brew, apt, sudo, uv sync, pipx, a model or browser download or a keychain command yourself. The commands must match the ones in the ow-tools README. The Hugging Face token is needed once, for the speaker-model fetch. The user stores it in their keychain. It never goes in a file, a repository or this chat.
  4. After the user has run the fixes, run ow-tools doctor again.

What ow-tools does

Command For
ow-tools transcribe <workstream>/audio/[<file>] A recording → transcript.json + transcript.md, local only (via /ow-start-transcribe)
ow-tools speakers <transcript.json> [--set SPEAKER_00=<role>] Show sample lines; record who each speaker is
ow-tools export <file.md> [--formats pdf,docx,pptx] Branded PDF, Word and PowerPoint from Markdown and opchain-work/brand.yaml, with an accessibility pre-check; a record in export/<name>.export.json
ow-tools export <sheet-folder> --formats xlsx An Excel workbook from CSV files and a formula map (model.md), formulas kept
ow-tools calc today | date | total | split | hours Today's date, business days, totals, payment splits and care-plan hours, checked by a tool
ow-tools digest <file|folder> A SHA-256 that detects accidental change only; not tamper-evidence
ow-tools health --config health.yaml [--no-network] Read-only checks of what health.yaml lists. Sends package names and versions to OSV and npm, domains to RDAP, and requests to the listed hosts and URLs; --no-network sends nothing (ow-tools help network)
ow-tools capture --plan plan.json --out <…>/shots/ [--sign-in] [--timeout S] Screenshots of the test environment the plan lists, in the user's Chrome or Chromium. The user signs in; ow-tools never types a password. It stops after 110 s by default: for a --sign-in that may take longer, pass --timeout (up to 590) and start it with run_in_background, then wait for it. --profiles lists the browser profiles, --delete-profile <id> removes one

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
