What it does
Transcribe Audio is an agent skill from barefootford/buttercut. Transcribes video audio using WhisperX, preserving original timestamps. Creates JSON transcript with word-level timing. Use when you need to generate audio transcripts for videos.
Its SKILL.md is about 560 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agent_prompt.md` and `refine_instructions.md`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Transcription. The repository describes itself as: Edit Video with Claude Code.
When your agent uses it
- You need to generate audio transcripts for videos
- Tasks that involve Transcription
Example prompts
- “Use the transcribe-audio skill to transcribe video audio using WhisperX, preserving original timestamps”
- “/transcribe-audio”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 352c1e0. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
ruby
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
Transcribe Audio loads about 563 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 243 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 243 words (~563 tokens).
“Transcribes video audio using WhisperX and produces a clean JSON transcript with word-level timing.”
