Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.00604 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00302 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00121 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00060 |
Grade A, and why
transcribe scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
Transcribe audio → markdown (local, whisper.cpp)
Local CPU transcription, language auto-detected (multilingual; tuned for EN/FR), no API/GPU. Output: markdown with
frontmatter + full text + timestamps. The wrapper scripts/transcribe.sh self-discovers whisper.cpp
($WHISPER_DIR → ~/tools/whisper.cpp → ~/whisper.cpp → /opt/whisper.cpp). Invoke it via the
plugin root: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/transcribe/scripts/transcribe.sh.
Instructions
- Resolve the audio file from the request (
$ARGUMENTS). Accept m4a/mp3/wav/ogg/flac; if none given, ask. - Ensure the pipeline exists — probe once:
bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/transcribe/scripts/transcribe.sh" --help >/dev/null 2>&1; echo $?. Exit2(or "whisper.cpp not found") → followsetup.mdto build it (warn: one-time ~10-min build + ~1.5 GB download), then continue. - Run:
bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/transcribe/scripts/transcribe.sh" "<audio-path>"(output defaults to<input>.md). Flags on request:--lang fr|en,--model small|large-v3(onlymediumships by default — others must be downloaded first, seesetup.md),--no-timestamps, custom output as 2nd positional arg. - Set expectations: a 10–20 min file takes several minutes on CPU — let it run.
- When done: Read the
.mdand show a short preview (frontmatter + first lines).
Notes
- WSL-safe: wrapper does all decode/temp in native
/tmp; only final.md+ source may live on/mnt/c. - Non-standard install:
export WHISPER_DIR=/path/to/whisper.cpp. - Frontmatter fields, limitations, and upgrade paths (diarization, word-level timestamps, long files): see
setup.md§ Reference.
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

transcribe is a skill published in the GitHub repository digital-stoic-org/agent-skills (20 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 604 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
