Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00125 | $0.02086 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00063 | $0.01043 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00025 | $0.00417 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00209 |
Grade A, and why
whisper-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 11d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 183 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Whisper Transcribe
Transcribe and translate audio/video files locally using OpenAI Whisper. Supports 99 languages, runs entirely on your machine.
Prerequisites
Run once to install dependencies:
pip install openai-whisper --quiet
pip install transformers accelerate --quiet # For HuggingFace fine-tuned models
ffmpeg is required for audio processing:
brew install ffmpeg # macOS
Step-by-Step Workflow
For ANY transcription/translation request, follow these steps:
Step 1: Check dependencies
/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/python3.11 ~/.claude/skills/whisper-transcribe/scripts/check_deps.py
Step 2: Determine intent and run the appropriate command
User wants to transcribe audio/video to text:
/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/python3.11 ~/.claude/skills/whisper-transcribe/scripts/whisper_transcribe.py transcribe "<FILE_PATH>" --output-dir ~/Downloads
User wants to translate audio/video to English:
/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/python3.11 ~/.claude/skills/whisper-transcribe/scripts/whisper_transcribe.py translate "<FILE_PATH>" --output-dir ~/Downloads
User wants to detect the language:
/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/python3.11 ~/.claude/skills/whisper-transcribe/scripts/whisper_transcribe.py detect "<FILE_PATH>"
User wants file info without transcribing:
/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/python3.11 ~/.claude/skills/whisper-transcribe/scripts/whisper_transcribe.py info "<FILE_PATH>"
Step 3: Report results
Tell the user:
- Detected language and confidence
- The full transcription text
- Where output files were saved (text, SRT subtitles, JSON)
- Processing time
- If translated: both original language and English translation
All Commands
# Transcribe audio/video (auto-detects language, saves .txt + .srt + .json)
/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/python3.11 ~/.claude/skills/whisper-transcribe/scripts/whisper_transcribe.py transcribe "<FILE>" --output-dir ~/Downloads
# Transcribe with a specific source language (faster, skips detection)

# Transcribe with a larger model for better accuracy

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.

whisper-transcribe is a skill published in the GitHub repository humancto/indic-voice-pipeline (1 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 125 tokens to every session and 2,086 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-31.
Other skills, from other repositories
video-recap
An end-to-end workflow for turning a video into a Chinese narrated recap. It coordinates video analysis, story planning, editing, voice generation, and final audio and subtitle assembly.
video-script
A Chinese-language video editing and narration workflow that plans the story, selects clips, assigns visuals and sound, writes timestamped narration, and validates the result.
video-assemble
A video finishing tool that combines a source video with recorded narration, adjusted original sound, and subtitles. It can create subtitle files, burn them into the video, and optionally standardise loudness.
video-cut
A video-editing skill that turns selected time ranges from a long source video into a shorter video. It follows decisions recorded in a clip plan and can also map an existing narration timeline to the edited result.
video-voiceover
A text-to-speech tool that turns a timestamped narration script into separate Chinese voice clips and places them within the video's timeline. Text-to-speech means generating spoken audio from written words.
video-understanding
A video analysis tool that turns a video into a structured index of scenes, spoken words, visual observations, quiet sections, and a writing brief. ASR means automatic speech recognition, which converts speech in the video into timestamped text.
