Parse and stringify SRT/WebVTT captions in a Code node or CodeAct action, with subtitle running on the host

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Sandbox Subtitle is an agent skill from nodetool-ai/nodetool. Parse and stringify SRT/WebVTT captions in a Code node or CodeAct action, with subtitle running on the host

Its SKILL.md is about 240 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `package.json`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Transcription. The repository describes itself as: Agent-first Creative Workspace. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Transcription

Example prompts

  • “/sandbox-subtitle”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 339f069. 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 javascript).

    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

Sandbox Subtitle loads about 238 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 80 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~238

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.

Parse and stringify SRT/WebVTT captions in a Code node or CodeAct action, with subtitle running on the host

Captions in the sandbox

Specifier: @nodetool-ai/sandbox-subtitle. Import it at the top of the body.

The published subtitle bundle uses streams the guest refuses, so this pack is a host module. You work with plain cue objects.

parse — SRT or VTT to cues

js
import { parse } from "@nodetool-ai/sandbox-subtitle";

const cues = await parse(inputs.captions);
return { cues };

Each cue is { start, end, text } with times in milliseconds.

stringify — cues to SRT or VTT

js
import { stringify } from "@nodetool-ai/sandbox-subtitle";

const srt = await stringify(inputs.cues, { format: "SRT" });
return { srt };

Pass { format: "WebVTT" } for VTT.

Gotchas

  • Async host calls. Always await.
  • Cue text keeps newlines. Split on \n if you need lines.
