asr-transcribe-to-text is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from daymade/claude-code-skills. It costs 321 tokens per session (13,639 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An audio and video transcription workflow that turns recordings into text and can label who said each part. It supports local processing on Apple Silicon, remote processing, media files, and media URLs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for meetings, podcasts, lectures, interviews, recordings, subtitles, speech-to-text, speaker separation, and aligning text with audio or video.
Why use it?
It helps create readable transcripts while preserving continuous speech context and, when available, identifying different speakers and timestamps.

SkillSpector: 3 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 Tool Misuse · line 843
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

    Suspicious Unicode normalization or mixed-script content
    Fix: Review the flagged content for security risks. Ensure no credentials, secrets, or sensitive data are exposed.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 837
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

asr-transcribe-to-text scanned grade A with 2 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 20 executable files (scripts/align_speakers.py, scripts/diarize_speakers.py, scripts/fuse_whispercpp_diarization.py, …), 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.

ASR Transcribe to Text

Transcribe audio/video to speaker-labeled text. Local execution has two explicit routes. Long or unattended recordings use checkpointed whisper.cpp + Silero VAD blocks, then late-fuse pyannote speakers. Short/medium recordings may use the Qwen3-ASR + mlx-whisper alignment route. Neither route cuts ASR input at diarization turns; speaker attribution happens after continuous-context ASR.

Route before ASR: the transcript is the result, not the run

Before starting transcription, check the owning project's transcript catalog, external source index, and declared prior-work carriers for an existing canonical transcript using source ID, date, title, and entity terms. A verified human-reviewed/current transcript ends the task unless the user explicitly asked for a new independent comparison. Raw audio existing is not a reason to regenerate text that already exists.

When no canonical transcript exists:

  1. For ordinary meeting/DJI recordings where cloud processing is allowed, use Feishu Minutes as the normal primary route (preprocess to a small M4A first).
  2. Use local ASR when the user requires offline/privacy handling, Feishu is unavailable or failed, or the task explicitly needs an independent quality comparison.
  3. For non-meeting media or an explicit local/remote ASR request, choose the execution location by the audio-location rule below.

Do not run local ASR merely to make a two-route process look complete.

Mode When Speed Cost
Local MLX macOS Apple Silicon 15-27x realtime Free
Remote API Any platform, or when local unavailable Depends on GPU API/self-hosted

Choosing between them is usually not about speed — it's about where the audio already is. A remote GPU can be several times faster (a 4090 running vLLM measured ~61x realtime against ~15x for local MLX), but that gap is small change next to moving the files: transcription output is text, and text is ~10,000× smaller than the audio it came from (18.5 h of speech ≈ 330 K characters ≈ 1 MB, from ~2.6 GB of WAV).

asr-transcribe-to-text is a skill published in the GitHub repository daymade/claude-code-skills (1,387 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 321 tokens to every session and 13,639 once invoked, about $0.0016 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (makes network calls, runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
