assemblyai-transcription

assemblyai-transcription is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from calesthio/generative-media-skills. It costs 125 tokens per session (6,240 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to AssemblyAI's speech-to-text services for recorded files, short synchronous audio, and live streams. It can produce transcripts and related speech information such as speaker turns and timestamps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for captions, subtitles, speaker-labelled transcripts, show notes, chapters, clip selection, translation preparation, moderation, and compliance review.
Why use it?
It helps turn speech into reliable text that other production steps can use, instead of transcribing and timing recordings by hand.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Data Exfiltration · line 226
    Code or instructions that leak agent conversation context to external services, potentially exposing sensitive user interactions.
    Fix: Remove any code that sends prompts, responses, or session data externally. Preserve user privacy; never exfiltrate conversation content.
  • medium Data Exfiltration · line 51
    Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
    Fix: Verify the destination URL is trusted and necessary. Remove or replace with documented APIs. Ensure no secrets, tokens, or PII are transmitted.

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

assemblyai-transcription 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 9d ago.

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.

AssemblyAI transcription for media-production agents

Use AssemblyAI when the production job needs reliable transcript artifacts from recorded or live speech, especially when the transcript must drive captions, clip selection, speaker turns, show notes, chaptering, translation, moderation, or compliance review.

Treat this as a provider skill, not a generic ASR primer. Check the live AssemblyAI docs before implementing code in production because model names, pricing, add-ons, rate limits, and data-retention settings are volatile. The facts below were verified against official AssemblyAI documentation on 2026-07-10.

Pick the product surface first

AssemblyAI exposes several surfaces that look similar but serve different production needs.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
