What it does

Fireflies is an agent skill from magnus919/agent-skills. Query Fireflies.ai meeting transcripts, meeting notes, summaries, contacts, channels, AI meeting analytics, AskFred, audio uploads, and webhook signatures through its GraphQL API. Use when a user mentions Fireflies, Fireflies.ai, meeting transcripts or notes stored in Fireflies, AskFred, or Fireflies webhooks. Do not use for local audio transcription, calendar management, or meetings that are not Fireflies data.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 14 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.md`, `evals/evals.json` and `references/api-reference.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires Python 3.9+, network access for API calls, and FIREFLIESAPIKEY for non-dry-run API requests.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Webhooks, Transcription and GraphQL. It works with GraphQL. The repository describes itself as: Curated collection of AI agent skills for Hermes and other agent frameworks. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A user mentions Fireflies
  • Meeting transcripts
  • Notes stored in Fireflies
  • Fireflies webhooks

Example prompts

  • “/fireflies”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in FIREFLIES_API_KEY
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires Python 3.9+, network access for API calls, and FIREFLIES_API_KEY for non-dry-run API requests.
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read

Workflow steps

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

  1. Check the command schema: scripts/fireflies --help and the relevant subcommand help.
  2. Set FIREFLIES_API_KEY only for an actual API request. Do not expose or persist it.
  3. Start with read-only discovery, such as scripts/fireflies transcripts list --limit 10 --json.
  4. Use --dry-run --json before each mutation to inspect the exact GraphQL payload.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 22b4723. 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:

    • Bash
    • Read

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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:

    • FIREFLIES_API_KEY

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

  • Compatibility

    Requires Python 3.9+, network access for API calls, and FIREFLIES_API_KEY for non-dry-run API requests.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Fireflies loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 427 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~106
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.3k

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: notes

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

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read

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.

Fireflies.ai

Use scripts/fireflies from this skill directory. It uses the Fireflies GraphQL endpoint directly and emits the API response as JSON. Read-only discovery is safe. Before any state change, confirm the target, scope, and rollback path; then route the change through the CLI's literal --confirm. --dry-run previews a payload only and never authorizes a write.

First Use

  1. Check the command schema: scripts/fireflies --help and the relevant subcommand help.
  2. Set FIREFLIES_API_KEY only for an actual API request. Do not expose or persist it.
  3. Start with read-only discovery, such as scripts/fireflies transcripts list --limit 10 --json.
  4. Use --dry-run --json before each mutation to inspect the exact GraphQL payload.

Safe Mutation Workflow

  1. Identify the Fireflies object ID and present the intended change.
  2. Confirm target, scope, and rollback path with the user. Deletion may not be reversible.
  3. Preview the exact document using --dry-run; this makes no HTTP request.
  4. Run exactly the approved mutation with --confirm.
  5. Return the response without printing credentials.

Examples:

bash
scripts/fireflies meetings rename transcript-id --title "Weekly product review" --dry-run --json
scripts/fireflies meetings rename transcript-id --title "Weekly product review" --confirm --json
scripts/fireflies transcripts delete transcript-id --confirm --json

Reference Routing

Boundaries

The CLI never starts a webhook server, stores API keys, or guesses undocumented GraphQL fields. If an ergonomic command does not cover the needed current operation, use query or mutation with a documented GraphQL document. The generic mutation command still requires --confirm.

Can I use Fireflies 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 magnus919/agent-skills --skill fireflies -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/fireflies, .gemini/skills/fireflies, .github/skills/fireflies and .opencode/skills/fireflies in your project.

What does Fireflies need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Fireflies needs Python for the scripts in its folder and credentials named FIREFLIES_API_KEY. Our summary lists: Python 3; A credential in FIREFLIES_API_KEY. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash, Read. Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires Python 3.9+, network access for API calls, and FIREFLIES_API_KEY for non-dry-run API requests..

Does Fireflies access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Fireflies safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), 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 Fireflies use?

Fireflies is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Fireflies use?

About 1.1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.5k 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 3.2k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

What are the alternatives to Fireflies?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Fireflies: Saleor GraphQL API Change Checklist (saleor/saleor, 23k stars), Ar Io Gateway Operator (ar-io/ar-io-node, 127 stars), Pii Detector (goSprinto/compliance-skills, 133 stars) and Bigcommerce API (qdhenry/Claude-Command-Suite, 1.3k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
