What it does

Audio Transcribe is an agent skill from iurysza/module-graph. Transcribes local audio into Markdown with Gemini 3.5 Transcribe, including speaker labels and provider timestamps. Use for interviews, meetings, lectures, podcasts, voice notes, and similar recordings.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/package.json`, `scripts/transcribe.test.ts` and `scripts/transcribe.ts`). Compatibility notes: Requires Bun 1.1+, ffmpeg/ffprobe, network access, and a Gemini API key.

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Transcription. The repository describes itself as: A Gradle Plugin for visualizing your project's structure, powered by mermaidjs. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Similar recordings
  • Tasks that involve Transcription

Example prompts

  • “Use the audio-transcribe skill to transcribe local audio into Markdown with Gemini 3.5 Transcribe, including speaker labels and provider timestamps”
  • “/audio-transcribe”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in GEMINI_API_KEY
  • A credential in GOOGLE_API_KEY
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires Bun 1.1+, ffmpeg/ffprobe, network access, and a Gemini API key.

Workflow steps

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

  1. Confirm the input exists and uses a supported format.
  2. Use ffprobe to inspect duration.
  3. Agree on an output path when the user does not provide one.
  4. Warn before an unexpectedly long or costly transcription.
  5. Ask for language hints and domain terms when they are known and likely to improve recognition.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 15b0135. 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 3 files in scripts/ (TypeScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bun

    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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • GOOGLE_API_KEY
    • OPENCODE_GOOGLE_API_KEY
    • GEMINI_API_KEY

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

  • Compatibility

    Requires Bun 1.1+, ffmpeg/ffprobe, network access, and a Gemini API key.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Audio Transcribe loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 521 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Audio Transcription

The bundled CLI normalizes audio, uploads each chunk to Gemini 3.5 Transcribe, and writes one Markdown transcript. Default output uses Gemini's speaker diarization and word-level timestamps.

Setup

Resolve paths relative to this SKILL.md. Do not assume a global skill directory.

bash
bun install --cwd <skill-directory>/scripts --no-save
export GEMINI_API_KEY='...'

GOOGLE_API_KEY and OPENCODE_GOOGLE_API_KEY are fallbacks. Set GEMINI_TRANSCRIBE_MODEL only to select a compatible replacement model. The default is gemini-3.5-transcribe.

Before transcription

  1. Confirm the input exists and uses a supported format.
  2. Use ffprobe to inspect duration.
  3. Agree on an output path when the user does not provide one.
  4. Warn before an unexpectedly long or costly transcription.
  5. Ask for language hints and domain terms when they are known and likely to improve recognition.

Do not upload media without the user's explicit transcription request.

Run

bash
bun run <skill-directory>/scripts/transcribe.ts \
  ./interview.m4a \
  --language en-US \
  --vocabulary "SumUp" \
  --output ./interview-transcript.md

Options:

  • --chunk-minutes N: chunk duration. The default is 30.
  • --language CODE: BCP-47 language hint. Repeat the option for each known language. Omit it for automatic language detection and code-switching.
  • --vocabulary TERM: domain term, acronym, or proper name. Repeat the option for each term. Use it with --smart. Gemini accepts up to 1,000 terms. It normally performs best with a short, targeted list.
  • --smart: return a cleaned transcript. This removes filler words, repetitions, and false starts, but Gemini does not provide speaker labels or timestamps in this mode.
  • --output PATH: exact Markdown output path.
  • --keep: retain normalized audio and chunk files beside the transcript.
  • --help: show usage.

Default verbatim mode requests speaker diarization and word timestamps. Gemini limits those requests to 30 minutes of audio per request, so the CLI splits longer recordings. The live API rejects custom vocabulary with word timestamps, so the CLI fails clearly when --vocabulary is used without --smart. --smart supports chunks up to 60 minutes because it does not request either feature. If Gemini returns a rate-limit delay, the CLI waits for that delay and retries the interaction once.

Supported inputs: MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, FLAC, and WebM.

Output

Default output contains source metadata, duration, model, mode, language hints, custom vocabulary, chunk count, speaker-labelled turns, and timestamps from Gemini's word annotations. The CLI orders annotations by their audio timestamps before it formats turns. The CLI deletes each remote Gemini upload after its transcription request. It warns if that deletion fails.

--smart produces clean text from interaction.output_text. It does not invent timestamps or speaker identity that the API did not return.

Speaker labels identify distinct voices within one Gemini request, not verified people. The CLI adds a heading for each chunk because Gemini can reset labels after a split. Preserve labels such as Speaker 1 when names are uncertain. Do not present inferred identities as facts.

Verification

After transcription:

  1. Confirm that the command succeeded.
  2. Confirm that the Markdown file exists and is non-empty.
  3. Inspect the beginning, one middle section, and the end for missing chunks, speaker changes, or malformed timestamps.
  4. Report the exact path and disclose failed or partial processing.

The CLI does not write a transcript after a failed API request. It removes local normalized audio unless --keep is set. Never print API keys or add private media and generated transcripts to the skill repository.
