process-transcript

A workflow for turning video or podcast transcripts into organised notes. A transcript is the written record of spoken content.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating structured summaries, extracting key concepts and frameworks, and collecting practical takeaways from recorded conversations or talks.
Why use it?
It removes the need to reread a long transcript to find its main ideas, useful advice, examples, and notable quotes.

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

process-transcript 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 yesterday.

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 — 178 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Process Transcript Skill

Transform verbose video/podcast transcripts into comprehensive, structured notes that follow the knowledge base style guide principles: density over verbosity, practical over theoretical, direct communication.

Instructions

1. Read the Transcript

For large transcripts (>25,000 tokens), use Task tool with general-purpose agent:

Use Task tool:
- subagent_type: "general-purpose"
- description: "Extract key insights from transcript"
- prompt: "Read the transcript at [PATH] and extract:
  1. Main themes and concepts discussed
  2. Specific advice, rules, or frameworks
  3. Key examples and anecdotes
  4. Practical tips for different scenarios
  5. Important quotes or memorable phrases
  6. Any mental models or frameworks mentioned

  Structure findings with clear sections and bullet points. Focus on actionable advice and concrete examples."

2. Extract Compelling Quotes

Run second agent task focused on quotable moments:

Use Task tool:
- subagent_type: "general-purpose"
- description: "Extract compelling quotes from transcript"
- prompt: "Read the transcript at [PATH] and extract the most compelling, memorable, and quotable statements. Look for:
  1. Funny or witty observations
  2. Strong opinions stated colorfully
  3. Memorable phrases or turns of phrase
  4. Contrarian or surprising takes
  5. Practical wisdom stated memorably
  6. Self-aware or self-deprecating moments

  Extract exact quotes (verbatim) with context. Organize by theme."

3. Structure the Notes

Replace the existing summary with structured sections following this pattern:

Opening sections (choose based on content):

  • Core Philosophy / Main Thesis
  • Key Concepts
  • Overview

Body sections (organize by topic):

  • Group related advice together
  • Use descriptive H2 headers (##)
  • Subsections with H3 (###) where needed

Common section types:

  • Mental models and frameworks
  • Practical advice by scenario
  • Examples and case studies
  • Personal context about speaker

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.
