What it does

Granola Install Auth is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Install and configure Granola AI meeting notes with calendar and audio permissions. Use when setting up Granola for the first time, connecting Google/Outlook calendars, granting macOS Screen Recording permission, or configuring Windows audio capture. Trigger: "install granola", "setup granola", "granola calendar", "granola permissions".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Meeting notes and agendas. It works with macOS. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Setting up Granola for the first time
  • Connecting Google/Outlook calendars
  • Granting macOS Screen Recording permission
  • Configuring Windows audio capture

Example prompts

  • “install granola”
  • “setup granola”
  • “granola calendar”
  • “/granola-install-auth”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(brew:*), Bash(open:*), Bash(pgrep:*), Bash(defaults:*), Bash(ls:*)

Workflow steps

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

  1. Download and Install
  2. Create Account and Authenticate
  3. Grant System Permissions
  4. Connect Calendar
  5. Verify Audio Capture
  6. Configure Preferences

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash(brew:*)
    • Bash(open:*)
    • Bash(pgrep:*)
    • Bash(defaults:*)
    • Bash(ls:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • brew

    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:

    • granola.ai

    Also links to:

    • docs.granola.ai

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Granola Install Auth loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 432 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~90
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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.

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.

Granola Install & Auth

Overview

Install Granola, the AI notepad that captures meeting audio directly from your device (no bot joins the call), transcribes with GPT-4o/Claude, and produces structured notes with action items. Supports Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Slack Huddles, and WebEx.

Prerequisites

  • macOS 12+ or Windows 10+ (iOS/Android for mobile)
  • Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook account
  • Active internet connection for initial auth

Instructions

Step 1 — Download and Install
bash
# macOS via Homebrew
brew install --cask granola

# Or download directly
open "https://www.granola.ai/download"

Windows: download the installer from granola.ai/download and run the .exe.

Step 2 — Create Account and Authenticate
  1. Launch Granola
  2. Click Sign up — authenticate with Google or Microsoft
  3. Granola uses WorkOS for SSO; enterprise users may see their IdP login (Okta, Azure AD)
Step 3 — Grant System Permissions

macOS (critical — both required):

System Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone
  → Enable Granola

System Settings > Privacy & Security > Screen & System Audio Recording
  → Enable Granola

The Screen Recording permission is required because macOS bundles system audio capture under that category — Granola does not record your screen.

Windows: Microphone permissions are granted automatically. Confirm at:

Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone → Granola enabled
Step 4 — Connect Calendar
  1. Granola Settings (avatar bottom-left) > Calendar
  2. Connect Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook
  3. Select which calendars to sync (personal, work, shared)
  4. Granola detects meetings from synced calendars with video/conference links
Step 5 — Verify Audio Capture
bash
# macOS — confirm Granola is running
pgrep -l Granola

# Check installed version
defaults read /Applications/Granola.app/Contents/Info.plist CFBundleShortVersionString 2>/dev/null || echo "Check Granola > About"

Join or start any meeting (Zoom, Meet, Teams). Granola shows a floating notepad when it detects a calendar event with a conferencing link. Verify the live transcription indicator appears.

Step 6 — Configure Preferences
SettingLocationRecommended
Auto-start with calendarPreferences > GeneralOn
Default templatePreferences > TemplatesMatch your meeting type
AI modelUses GPT-4o/ClaudeNo configuration needed
Auto-updatePreferences > GeneralOn
Show full SKILL.md (180 more words)Show less

Output

  • Granola installed and running on login
  • Calendar connected with meeting auto-detection
  • System audio + microphone permissions granted
  • Live transcription verified on a test call

Granola Architecture (How It Works)

Your Device Audio ──→ Granola Desktop App ──→ Granola Cloud (transcription)
                           │                        │
                     Local notepad            GPT-4o / Claude
                     (your typed notes)       (enhance + summarize)
                           │                        │
                           └────── Merged Output ───┘
                                   │
                          Structured meeting notes
                          with action items
  • Audio is transcribed server-side; Granola does not store raw audio after processing
  • Your typed notes are merged with the transcript for context-aware summaries
  • No bot joins your meeting — capture happens via system audio

Examples

env=sandbox; secret_ref=granola-client-v4; scope=meeting-read; destination=approved; synthetic_probe=200; rotation_owner=platform-ops proves setup without exposing a credential.

Next Steps
