At a glance
Local speech-to-text using faster-whisper. An agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills.
- Tasks that involve Transcription
- SKILL.md covers When to Use, Quick Reference, Model Selection and Setup, plus 8 more sections
- Runs Python and Shell scripts from its folder; calls uv, pip and yt-dlp; reaches download.pytorch.org
- Tasks that involve Speech recognition and synthesis
What it does
Faster Whisper is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Local speech-to-text using faster-whisper. 4-6x faster than OpenAI Whisper with identical accuracy; GPU acceleration enables ~20x realtime transcription. Supports standard and distilled models with word-level timestamps.
Its SKILL.md is about 3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/transcribe.py`, `setup.sh` and `skill.json`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Transcription and Speech recognition and synthesis. It works with Whisper. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Transcription
- Tasks that involve Speech recognition and synthesis
Example prompts
- “/faster-whisper”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A Bash shell
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Python and Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
uvpipyt-dlp
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:
download.pytorch.org
Also links to:
nvidia.comdocs.nvidia.comapps.microsoft.comgithub.comarxiv.orghuggingface.co
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
Faster Whisper loads about 3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 846 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 846 words (~3,047 tokens).
“Local speech-to-text using faster-whisper — a CTranslate2 reimplementation of OpenAI's Whisper that runs 4-6x faster with identical accuracy. With GPU acceleration, expect ~20x realtime transcription (a 10-minute audio file in ~30 seconds).”
