What it does
Transcribe is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Transcribe audio files to text using local Whisper (Docker). Use when receiving voice messages, audio files (.mp3, .m4a, .ogg, .wav, .webm), or when asked to transcribe audio content.
Its SKILL.md is about 320 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/install.sh`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Transcription and Speech recognition and synthesis. It works with Docker. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.
When your agent uses it
- Receiving voice messages
- Audio files (.mp3
- Asked to transcribe audio content
Example prompts
- “/transcribe”
Requirements
- A Bash shell
- Docker
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Save the audio attachment to a temp file
- Run transcribe
- Include the transcription in your response
- Clean up the temp file
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
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
Transcribe loads about 324 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 100 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 100 words (~324 tokens).
“Local audio transcription using faster-whisper in Docker.”
