transistor

transistor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from magnus919/agent-skills. It costs 150 tokens per session (3,524 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line tool for managing a Transistor.fm podcast account through its web API. It can work with shows, episodes, private subscribers, webhooks, and download data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify access, browse shows and episodes, attach audio, publish or schedule episodes, inspect download analytics, and manage private-podcast subscribers.
Why use it?
It lets you handle podcast publishing and account data from a terminal instead of doing every step in the hosting dashboard. Episode creation starts as a draft, separating creation from publishing.

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

transistor 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/test_transistor.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 309 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

transistor — Transistor.fm podcast hosting from the terminal

Drive a Transistor.fm account over its v1 JSON:API: shows, episodes, the draft→publish lifecycle, per-day download analytics, private-podcast subscribers, and webhooks. Responses are JSON:API documents; the bundled CLI unwraps them (--json) while preserving the raw shapes agents need for jq. Write commands are guarded: episode creation is always a draft, and publishing goes through its own dedicated endpoint.

Setup

  1. Find your API key on the Transistor dashboard Account page → API Access (https://dashboard.transistor.fm/account) and export it:
export TRANSISTOR_API_KEY="<API_KEY>"
  1. Verify the key (GET /v1 — the authorization probe; there is no /v1/user route):
transistor user          # name and time zone
transistor user --json | jq '{id, name, time_zone}'

A key carries the dashboard role of its user (owner / admin / team member) per podcast. --help and --dry-run work without credentials. Requests are rate-limited to 10 per 10 seconds; the CLI dies with a clear 429 message instead of hammering.

Essential Commands

user — authorization probe

transistor user                # who does this key belong to?
transistor user --json

shows / show — browse podcasts

transistor shows                          # newest-updated first
transistor shows --private --json         # private podcasts only
transistor show --id <SHOW_ID_OR_SLUG>    # full attributes incl. feed_url
transistor shows --page 1 --per 20 --json

Show ids and slugs are interchangeable on most show-scoped routes. Show resources carry no counts fields — count via episodes --show ... --json, then meta.totalCount.

episodes / episode — browse episodes

transistor episodes                                    # newest first, all shows
transistor episodes --show <SHOW_ID> --status draft    # drafts for one show
transistor episodes --show <SHOW_ID> --per 50 --page 1 --json
transistor episode --id <EPISODE_ID> --include show    # compound doc + parent show

What ships with it

8 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.

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.
