What it does

Openrouter Transcribe is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Transcribe audio files via OpenRouter using audio-capable models (Gemini, GPT-4o-audio, etc).

Its SKILL.md is about 590 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/transcribe.sh`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Model routing and gateways and Transcription. It works with OpenRouter and OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Model routing and gateways
  • Tasks that involve Transcription

Example prompts

  • “/openrouter-transcribe”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell
  • A credential in OPENROUTER_API_KEY
  • A credential in YOUR_OPENROUTER_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Converts audio to WAV (mono, 16kHz) using ffmpeg
  2. Base64 encodes the audio
  3. Sends to OpenRouter chat completions with input_audio content
  4. Extracts transcript from response

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/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • clawdbot.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • OPENROUTER_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Openrouter Transcribe loads about 588 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 190 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~588

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 190 words (~588 tokens).

“Transcribe audio files using OpenRouter's chat completions API with input_audio content type. Works with any audio-capable model.”
