What it does

Granola is an agent skill from glebis/claude-skills. This skill should be used when importing, listing, or exporting Granola meeting recordings and transcripts. Queries Granola's Personal API to list meetings, extract transcripts, and export to Obsidian notes in Fathom-compatible format.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 20 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, `references/cache-structure.md` and `scripts/granola.py`).

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Note-taking. It works with Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: Collection of Claude Code skills for enhanced AI workflows. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Note-taking

Example prompts

“/granola”

Requirements

Python 3
A Bash shell
A credential in GRANOLA_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3b88261. 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 13 files in scripts/ (Python and Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python3
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:
- public-api.granola.ai
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- GRANOLA_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Granola loads about 874 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 262 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~874
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~1.4k

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.

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

name: granola
description: This skill should be used when importing, listing, or exporting Granola meeting recordings and transcripts. Queries Granola's Personal API to list meetings, extract transcripts, and export to Obsidian notes in Fathom-compatible format.

Granola Meeting Importer

Query Granola via Personal API to list notes, view transcripts, and export to Obsidian vault in the same format as the Fathom skill.

Prerequisites

Granola Business or Enterprise plan (Personal API required)
API key in sops-encrypted ~/Brains/brain/.env.granola as GRANOLA_API_KEY=grn_...
No additional dependencies (uses stdlib only)

Usage

bash

python3 ~/.claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py <command> [options]

Commands

Command	Description
`list`	List notes from Personal API
`show <note_id>`	Show note details (summary, attendees, optionally transcript)
`export <note_id>`	Export note to Obsidian markdown (Fathom-compatible format)

Options

Option	Applies to	Description
`--format text\|json`	list, show	Output format (default: text)
`--after <ISO date>`	list	Filter notes created after date
`--all`	list	Paginate through all results
`--transcript`	show	Include transcript in output
`--vault <path>`	export	Obsidian vault path (default: ~/Brains/brain)
`--output <path>`	export	Custom output file path

Examples

List recent meetings

bash

python3 ~/.claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py list
python3 ~/.claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py list --format json
python3 ~/.claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py list --after 2026-05-01

Show note with transcript

bash

python3 ~/.claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py show not_5FkswTp4Omkpm5
python3 ~/.claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py show not_5FkswTp4Omkpm5 --transcript --format json

Export to Obsidian

bash

python3 ~/.claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py export not_5FkswTp4Omkpm5
python3 ~/.claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py export not_5FkswTp4Omkpm5 --vault ~/Brains/brain

Output Format

Exported notes match Fathom skill format for consistency:

markdown

---
granola_id: not_xxxx
title: "Meeting Title"
date: YYYY-MM-DD
participants: ['Name 1', 'Name 2']
duration: HH:MM
source: granola
---

# Meeting Title

## Summary
{AI-generated summary}

## Transcript
**Speaker Name**: What they said...

Files saved as: Sessions/YYYYMMDD-meeting-title-slug.md

API Details

Base URL: https://public-api.granola.ai/v1
Auth: Bearer token (Personal API key, never expires)
Rate limits: 25 req burst / 5 req/sec sustained
Important: API only returns notes with generated summaries — in-progress meetings won't appear

Known Limitations

No live/in-progress access — notes appear only after Granola generates the AI summary
No per-utterance speaker names — Granola provides source (microphone vs speaker) and optional diarization_label. Export assigns meeting owner to microphone utterances
Note IDs required — use list first to get not_xxxx IDs, then show/export

Integration

transcript-analyzer: After export, run transcript-analyzer on the output file for deeper analysis
Fathom skill: Granola exports use the same frontmatter and transcript format as Fathom exports, so downstream tools work with both

Can I use Granola in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add glebis/claude-skills --skill granola -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/granola, .gemini/skills/granola, .github/skills/granola and .opencode/skills/granola in your project.

What does Granola need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Granola needs Python and a shell for the scripts in its folder, the command-line tools its instructions call (python3) and credentials named GRANOLA_API_KEY. Our summary lists: Python 3; A Bash shell; A credential in GRANOLA_API_KEY.

Does Granola access the network?

SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: public-api.granola.ai; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Granola safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (mentions a .env file), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Granola use?

Granola is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Granola use?

About 874 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 515 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
