openai-whisper-api is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from geezerrrr/motive. It costs 20 tokens per session (338 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of openai-whisper-api, MIT.

A script that sends an audio file to OpenAI's online speech-to-text service and saves the returned transcription. It can set the language, add context, and save plain text or JSON.

In plain words
What is it for?
Transcribing recordings such as meetings, interviews, and voice notes, with optional language hints, speaker-name prompts, or machine-readable JSON output.
Why use it?
It provides transcription without running the speech model on your own computer. It does require an OpenAI API key and sends the recording to the service.

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

openai-whisper-api 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/transcribe.sh), 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.

Changes

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.
