What it does
Life Recorder Setup is an agent skill from browser-use/life-recorder. Build, install, pair, and operate the Life Recorder iPhone-to-Mac local transcription system. Use when a user asks to reproduce or troubleshoot this project.
Its SKILL.md is about 600 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 25 other files (for example `README.md` and `ios/project.yml`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Transcription. It works with iOS. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- A user asks to reproduce
- Troubleshoot this project
Example prompts
- “/life-recorder-setup”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Check that Xcode, Python, ffmpeg, whisper.cpp, and a GGML Whisper model are installed.
- Build and install the app on the connected iPhone using the user's team and device identifier.
- Run receiver/setup.py with a private data directory and --install-agent. Keep the generated pairing page private and delete it after…
- Pair the iPhone, switch recording on, and verify a short upload and local Markdown update.
- For a stalled queue, inspect the receiver health endpoint and the phone's pending audio count. Opening the app while unlocked reactivates…
- Keep life.md, audio, SQLite state, tokens, certificates, pairing pages, and device-specific validation artifacts outside Git.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 205617c. 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 (Swift, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
xcrun
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
Life Recorder Setup loads about 599 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 321 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.

Life Recorder setup
Build the native iOS target in ios/LifeRecorder.xcodeproj, configure the Python receiver in receiver/, and keep all runtime state outside the repository.
Phone control
Use Apple CoreDevice (xcrun devicectl) for read-only device inspection, installation, and launching the bundle on a connected device. Use the CUA iPhone Mirroring surface for visual UI actions when the phone is available. Do not bypass a passcode or protected system dialog. If iOS reports that the device is locked, ask the user to unlock it and open Life Recorder once.
Required user permissions
The user must handle or approve:
- Xcode signing with their Apple developer account and development team
- Trusting the Mac and enabling Developer Mode on the iPhone
- Microphone permission for Life Recorder
- Local-network permission for Life Recorder
- Any macOS firewall or protected credential prompt
Never request or store the user's Apple password, iPhone passcode, receiver token, private key, or pairing page in the repository.
Setup workflow
- Check that Xcode, Python, ffmpeg, whisper.cpp, and a GGML Whisper model are installed.
- Build and install the app on the connected iPhone using the user's team and device identifier.
- Run
receiver/setup.pywith a private data directory and--install-agent. Keep the generated pairing page private and delete it after pairing if desired. - Pair the iPhone, switch recording on, and verify a short upload and local Markdown update.
- For a stalled queue, inspect the receiver health endpoint and the phone's pending audio count. Opening the app while unlocked reactivates its upload manager; do not force-quit it.
- Keep
life.md, audio, SQLite state, tokens, certificates, pairing pages, and device-specific validation artifacts outside Git.
The phone records in one-minute chunks and queues them while offline. The Mac receiver transcribes with local Whisper, filters obvious repetitive/stage-direction hallucinations, and writes a continuous Markdown transcript with hourly markers. Reboots and force-quits require one manual app open because iOS does not provide a reliable silent microphone launch at boot.
