At a glance

Local speech-to-text with NVIDIA Parakeet TDT 0.6B v3 (ONNX on CPU).

  • Transcribing audio files
  • SKILL.md covers Installation, API Endpoint, Quick Start and Python / OpenAI SDK, plus 5 more sections
  • Calls docker, curl and git; reaches github.com
  • Converting speech to text

What it does

Parakeet Stt is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Local speech-to-text with NVIDIA Parakeet TDT 0.6B v3 (ONNX on CPU). 30x faster than Whisper, 25 languages, auto-detection, OpenAI-compatible API. Use when transcribing audio files, converting speech to text, or processing voice recordings locally without cloud APIs.

Its SKILL.md is about 770 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Speech recognition and synthesis and Transcription. It works with OpenAI, NVIDIA AI Platform and ONNX. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

When your agent uses it

  • Transcribing audio files
  • Converting speech to text
  • Processing voice recordings locally without cloud APIs

Example prompts

  • “/parakeet-stt”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Docker

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • docker
    • curl
    • git
    • pip
    • uvicorn

    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:

    • github.com

    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

Parakeet Stt loads about 771 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 146 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~771

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 146 words (~771 tokens).

“Local transcription using NVIDIA Parakeet TDT 0.6B v3 with ONNX Runtime. Runs on CPU — no GPU required. ~30x faster than realtime.”
