What it does

Deepgram is an agent skill from Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors. Deepgram speech AI: transcribe audio to text and synthesize speech (TTS). Trigger phrases: deepgram, transcribe audio, speech to text, STT, deepgram tts.

Its SKILL.md is about 860 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `bin/deepgram.py`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Transcription, Speech recognition and synthesis and Text to speech and voice. It works with Deepgram. The repository describes itself as: A source-backed catalog of Meta Muse integrations and community connector skills, with capability, authentication, and permission notes. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Phrases: deepgram
  • Transcribe audio

Example prompts

  • “/deepgram”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Usage is metered by audio duration (transcription) and characters (TTS). Transcribe and synthesize only what the user asked for; confirm…
  2. API key and project management are confirmation-gated: confirm with the user before creating, rotating, or deleting keys or projects. This…
  3. The transcript JSON can contain full conversation text. Treat transcripts as the user's private content; do not republish or forward them…
  4. Never log or print the raw key; the CLI only ever handles the surrogate.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6dc5d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Deepgram loads about 857 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 308 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~857

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Deepgram

Purpose

Transcribe prerecorded audio files to text (with optional diarization, summaries, topics, sentiment) and synthesize speech with Deepgram's Aura voices. Reach for this when the user has an audio file to transcribe or wants spoken audio generated from text.

Tooling

All commands go through bin/deepgram.py. Auth uses exactly Authorization: Token <api_key> (not Bearer); the CLI wires it through the credential surrogate.

bash
bin/deepgram.py auth
# {"ok": true, "projects": 2} on success

bin/deepgram.py projects
# list Deepgram projects (id, name)

bin/deepgram.py transcribe --file meeting.wav
# upload a local audio file, print the transcript JSON

bin/deepgram.py transcribe --file call.mp3 --model nova-3 --diarize --summarize --topics --sentiment
# transcript with speaker labels plus summary, topics and sentiment

bin/deepgram.py tts --text "Thanks for listening." --out thanks.mp3
# synthesize with an Aura voice to a local MP3 file; prints the saved path

Notes:

  • transcribe reads a local audio file, posts the bytes to POST /v1/listen, and prints the full transcript JSON. Content type is guessed from the file extension (wav, mp3, m4a, flac, ogg supported).
  • tts posts {"text": "..."} to POST /v1/speak?model=<model>&encoding=mp3 (default model aura-2-thalia-en, 2,000-char limit) and saves the audio to --out (default deepgram-output.mp3).
  • Live WebSocket STT (/v1/listen streaming) is real-time and outside CLI scope.

Auth

  • Provider id: deepgram (credential is collected as custom.deepgram)
  • Collection: Deepgram API key via the secure credential flow (credentials.request_api_access); create one in the Deepgram console
  • Allowed hosts: api.deepgram.com
  • Connect placement: custom_header:Authorization (the stored credential value must be exactly Token <api_key>, with the Token prefix; Bearer is not accepted)
  • Status check: bin/deepgram.py auth

Operating Rules

  1. Usage is metered by audio duration (transcription) and characters (TTS). Transcribe and synthesize only what the user asked for; confirm before processing large batches.
  2. API key and project management are confirmation-gated: confirm with the user before creating, rotating, or deleting keys or projects. This draft CLI is read/compute only; it does not manage keys or projects.
  3. The transcript JSON can contain full conversation text. Treat transcripts as the user's private content; do not republish or forward them without instruction.
  4. Never log or print the raw key; the CLI only ever handles the surrogate.
