What it does

Transcribe is an agent skill from gnekt/My-Brain-Is-Full-Crew. Process audio recordings, meeting transcripts, podcasts, or lectures. Runs an intake interview (date, mode, speakers, language) then processes into structured notes with action items, decisions, and glossary. Triggers: EN: "transcribe", "I have a recording", "process this audio", "meeting notes from recording", "summarize the call", "lecture notes", "podcast summary". IT: "trascrivi", "ho una registrazione", "processa questo audio", "note della riunione", "riassumi la call". FR: "transcrire", "j'ai un…

Its SKILL.md is about 5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Transcription, Podcasting and Meeting notes and agendas. The repository describes itself as: Built by a PhD whose memory was failing, whose diet was a mess, and whose anxiety had its own agenda. Most second brain tools ignore the fact that your brain doesn't work in…

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Transcription
  • Tasks that involve Podcasting
  • Tasks that involve Meeting notes and agendas

Example prompts

  • “transcribe”
  • “I have a recording”
  • “process this audio”
  • “/transcribe”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Date & time of the recording (default: today)
  2. Processing mode: Meeting, Lecture Notes, Podcast Summary, Interview Extraction, Voice Journal, or General Transcription
  3. Participants / Speakers: names and roles (if applicable)
  4. Project / area the recording relates to (if any)
  5. Language: detect automatically, or ask if ambiguous
  6. Priority flags: is there anything urgent the user already knows about?
  7. Transcript format: if providing a text file, ask which tool generated it (Whisper, Otter, Google Meet, Zoom, manual, or unknown)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 238ae8c. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    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 loads about 5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 176 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,573 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~176
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5k

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 1,573 words (~4,988 tokens).

“Read Meta/vault-map.md (always this literal path) to resolve folder paths. Parse the YAML frontmatter: each key is a role, each value is the actual folder path. Substitute only the vault-role tokens listed in the table below — do NOT substitute…”
