AudioEditor

AudioEditor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from danielmiessler/LifeOS. It costs 147 tokens per session (2,187 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An automated audio-editing workflow that transcribes recordings word by word, identifies unwanted speech and silence, and edits the audio with ffmpeg. It can also optionally use Cleanvoice for additional processing and repair noise-gate ticking artifacts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clean spoken recordings, preview or apply edits, add room tone around cuts, crossfade transitions, or inspect and repair noise-gate artifacts.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of finding and removing filler words, false starts, stutters, breaths, dead air, and other recording problems while keeping cuts smooth.

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

AudioEditor scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 8 executable files (Tools/Analyze.ts, Tools/Edit.ts, Tools/GateRepair.ts, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Customization

Before executing, check for user customizations at: ~/.claude/LIFEOS/USER/CUSTOMIZATIONS/SKILLS/AudioEditor/

If this directory exists, load and apply any PREFERENCES.md, configurations, or resources found there. These override default behavior. If the directory does not exist, proceed with skill defaults.

Voice Notification

You MUST send this notification BEFORE doing anything else when this skill is invoked.

  1. Send voice notification:

    curl -s -X POST http://localhost:31337/notify \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"message": "Running the WORKFLOWNAME workflow in the AudioEditor skill to ACTION"}' \
      > /dev/null 2>&1 &
    
  2. Output text notification:

    Running the **WorkflowName** workflow in the **AudioEditor** skill to ACTION...
    

This is not optional. Execute this curl command immediately upon skill invocation.

What It Does

Cleans recorded audio automatically — strips filler words, false starts, stutters, and dead air, attenuates breaths, and crossfades every cut. It transcribes the file at the word level, has Claude classify each segment (KEEP, CUT_FILLER, CUT_FALSE_START, CUT_STUTTER, CUT_DEAD_AIR), then executes the cuts with ffmpeg. An optional Cleanvoice pass adds final polish. Modes: --preview, --aggressive, --polish.

The Problem

Cleaning a recording by hand means scrubbing a waveform for every "um," half-started sentence, and three-second silence, then crossfading each cut so it doesn't click. It's slow and tedious, and a blunt auto-tool over-cuts — it kills the rhetorical pause along with the accidental one, or leaves an audible seam where it spliced. This pipeline tells deliberate pauses apart from dead air, fills gaps with room tone, and crossfades each edit, so the output sounds clean rather than chopped.

How It Works

Whisper produces word-level timestamps, Claude classifies each segment (distinguishing rhetorical emphasis from accidental repetition), and ffmpeg executes the cuts with 40ms qsin crossfades, room-tone gap fill, and breath attenuation at 50% volume rather than removal. An optional Cleanvoice API pass handles mouth-sound removal, residual filler, and loudness normalization.

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.
