What it does

Otter Fetch is an agent skill from benoror/obsidianos_work. Fetch Otter.ai transcript data. Sub-skill used by cache-notes and fill-participants when Notes: contains an Otter URL.

Its SKILL.md is about 690 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `parse_otter.js`).

The repository describes itself as: ObsidianOS - Work Vault. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/otter-fetch”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Extract otid from the URL: https://otter.ai/u/aBcDeFgHiJkLmNoPqRsT → otid = aBcDeFgHiJkLmNoPqRsT.
  2. Ask the user to copy the JSON response from GET https://otter.ai/forward/api/v1/speech?otid={otid} (e.g. from DevTools → Network while…
  3. User pastes the JSON; the agent (or script) parses it.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3c7923e. 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 (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • otter.ai

    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

Otter Fetch loads about 686 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 322 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~686

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.

Fetch Otter.ai transcript data. Sub-skill used by cache-notes and fill-participants when Notes: contains an Otter URL.
license
MIT

Otter Fetch

Single place for obtaining Otter.ai transcript data. No direct slash command — other skills invoke this when they encounter an Otter.ai URL (e.g. in Notes: frontmatter).

Usage

This skill has no slash command. It's a sub-skill: /cache-notes and /fill-participants invoke its workflow (and run parse_otter.js) when a meeting's Notes: contains an https://otter.ai/u/... URL.

When to use

  • cache-notes: When caching a meeting that has https://otter.ai/u/{otid} in Notes: — need callout markdown to embed.
  • fill-participants: When resolving participants for a meeting that only has Otter links (no Google Doc) — need speaker names from the transcript.

How to get the data

Otter has no public API. Use user-pasted JSON:

  1. Extract otid from the URL: https://otter.ai/u/aBcDeFgHiJkLmNoPqRsT → otid = aBcDeFgHiJkLmNoPqRsT.
  2. Ask the user to copy the JSON response from GET https://otter.ai/forward/api/v1/speech?otid={otid} (e.g. from DevTools → Network while signed in, or from a signed-in request).
  3. User pastes the JSON; the agent (or script) parses it.

Outputs (same JSON, different consumers)

The pasted JSON has speech with:

Use caseWhat to useHow
cache-notesCallout markdownRun parse_otter.js with JSON on stdin → stdout is ## 🤖 AI Notes / ### Otter block with [!otter_notes]-, [!otter_todos]-, [!otter_transcript]-.
fill-participantsSpeaker namesFrom speech.speakers: array of { speaker_name }. Use those names with people-resolver to build Participants:.

So one paste can serve both skills if needed (e.g. cache-notes runs the script; fill-participants reads speech.speakers from the same JSON or from the cached transcript callout).

Script: parse_otter.js

In this folder: parse_otter.js reads the full Otter speech JSON from stdin and writes callout markdown to stdout (for cache-notes).

bash
node .agents/skills/otter-fetch/parse_otter.js < pasted.json

Output is the exact block to append under ## 🤖 AI Notes (including ### Otter and the three callouts). Caller appends it to the note and sets NotesCached:.

Important notes

  • Always extract otid from the share URL (query params like ?utm_source=copy_url can be ignored).
  • If the user doesn't have the JSON, they can open the Otter meeting page while signed in, open DevTools → Network, reload, and copy the response body of the speech?otid=... request.
