Fetch raw Fireflies.ai meeting transcripts. An agent skill from davidondrej/skills.

  • Works in 2 steps: find the meeting id → pull the raw transcript
  • Explicitly invokes /fireflies-transcript
  • SKILL.md covers Auth (state-check first), Step 1 - find the meeting id, Step 2 - pull the raw transcript and Failure modes, plus 1 more section
  • Calls jq and curl; reaches api.fireflies.ai; needs API_KEY

What it does

Fireflies Transcript is an agent skill from davidondrej/skills. Fetch raw Fireflies.ai meeting transcripts. Use only when the user explicitly invokes /fireflies-transcript; for YouTube, use youtube-transcript.

Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Video and podcast notes. It works with YouTube. The repository describes itself as: access to david ondrej's personal agent skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Explicitly invokes /fireflies-transcript
  • Use youtube-transcript

Example prompts

  • “/fireflies-transcript”

Requirements

  • A credential in API_KEY

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. find the meeting id
  2. pull the raw transcript

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ea32e5f. 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:

    • jq
    • curl

    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:

    • api.fireflies.ai

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • API_KEY

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

Context cost

Fireflies Transcript loads about 704 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 241 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~704

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.

Fireflies Transcript

Fetch any meeting transcript from Fireflies.ai as raw text via GraphQL. Read-only.

Auth (state-check first)

Configure your Fireflies API credential using the documented method (never commit or print it):

bash
source "<credential-file>"   # exports API_KEY
[ -n "$API_KEY" ] || echo "MISSING KEY - stop and tell the user"

Every call is a POST to https://api.fireflies.ai/graphql with authentication configured according to Fireflies' API documentation and a JSON body {"query": "..."}.

Step 1 - find the meeting id

bash
curl -sS -X POST https://api.fireflies.ai/graphql \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"{ transcripts(limit: 25) { id title date duration } }"}' \
  | jq -r '.data.transcripts[] | "\(.id) | \(.title) | \(.date)"'
  • date is epoch milliseconds. Convert on macOS: date -r $((1784127600000/1000)).
  • The transcripts(title:) filter is EXACT-match — it returns [] for partial names. List recent meetings and grep locally instead.
  • Ad-hoc meetings have no proper title (e.g. Untitled - Wed, 15 Jul 2026 17:00:55 CEST). Identify those by date/time, then confirm via content or speakers, not the title.
  • Paginate older meetings with skip: (e.g. transcripts(limit: 50, skip: 25)).

Step 2 - pull the raw transcript

bash
QUERY='{ transcript(id: "MEETING_ID") { title sentences { speaker_name text } } }'
curl -sS -X POST https://api.fireflies.ai/graphql \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "$(jq -nc --arg query "$QUERY" '{query: $query}')" \
  > /tmp/ff.json

# speaker-labeled raw text (usual deliverable)
jq -r '.data.transcript.sentences[] | "\(.speaker_name): \(.text)"' /tmp/ff.json

# bare text only
jq -r '.data.transcript.sentences[].text' /tmp/ff.json

Transcripts run to hundreds of sentences — save to a file, never dump to stdout/chat.

Optional extras on the same transcript(id:) query: summary { overview short_summary keywords }, participants, duration, meeting_link.

Failure modes

  • sentences: null — recording still processing or no audio captured; nothing to pull.
  • errors[] in the response instead of data — usually a bad field name; fix the query.
  • 401/invalid key — key was rotated; ask the user for a new one (Fireflies dashboard: Settings -> Developer settings), update the configured credential file.

Verify before reporting done

A pull is successful only if the sentence count is > 0 and the speakers/topic match the meeting the user asked about — check the first few lines, don't trust the title alone.
