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 B, and why

summarize-call scanned grade B with 2 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 393 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Summarize Call

Takes a call recording (video or audio), transcribes it with speaker labels, summarizes it, and writes structured notes into your Obsidian vault.

Requirements

Vault structure — the skill expects these folders inside your Obsidian vault. Folder names are defaults; override them in the Configuration block below if your vault uses different names.

Folder Purpose
03 Meetings/ Where call notes and transcripts land
04 People/ Person notes for participants
02 Daily/YYYY/MM/ Daily notes, named MM-DD-YY ddd.md
_Templates/ Note templates — skill installs new person template.md here on first run

CLI tools — install these before first use, or let Step 0 walk you through it:

Tool Purpose Install
ffmpeg Extract audio from video files macOS: brew install ffmpeg · Linux: apt install ffmpeg or dnf install ffmpeg · Windows: ffmpeg.org/download.html
mlx_whisper (local path) Local transcription pip install mlx-whisper
pyannote.audio (local path) Local speaker diarization see Step 1 walkthrough

Alternative to local: set ELEVENLABS_API_KEY to use ElevenLabs Scribe for transcription + diarization in one call (paid, faster, no setup).

Configuration

The skill reads these variables at runtime. Override any of them via environment variables, or edit the defaults here:

VAULT_ROOT       = $VAULT_ROOT        # auto-detected if not set (see Step 0a)
MEETINGS_DIR     = 03 Meetings
PEOPLE_DIR       = 04 People
DAILY_DIR        = 02 Daily
TEMPLATES_DIR    = _Templates

All paths below are relative to $VAULT_ROOT.

Trigger

When the user provides a call recording (MP4, MOV, WAV, MP3, M4A, etc.) and wants it transcribed, summarized, and documented.

Inputs

  • Recording: file path to the recording
  • Participants: names of the people on the call
  • Date/time: extract from filename if possible, otherwise ask
  • Speaker count: default 2, ask if ambiguous

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.
