At a glance
Transcribes audio files such as mp3, m4a, wav and webm to text with the tai audio_transcribe tool, and lists the available speech-to-text providers.
- Transcribing a meeting recording to text
- SKILL.md covers audio_transcribe, audio_providers and Constraints
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
- Converting a voice memo or speech file into written text
What it does
Two tools are documented. The audio_transcribe tool takes an audio file path, an optional ISO 639-1 language code that is auto-detected when omitted, and an optional provider connector ID that falls back to the default speech-to-text provider. Supported formats are mp3, m4a, wav, webm, mp4, mpeg and mpga, and it is called through the tai tool command line.
The audio_providers tool lists the available speech-to-text providers with their models and connector IDs, optionally filtered by capability, so a provider can be passed on to audio_transcribe. The skill insists on using only the listed parameters, since others are ignored or cause errors.
When your agent uses it
- Transcribing a meeting recording to text
- Converting a voice memo or speech file into written text
- Choosing which speech-to-text provider to use
Example prompts
- “Transcribe /recordings/meeting.m4a to text.”
- “Which speech-to-text providers are available?”
- “Transcribe this Japanese voice memo and set the language to ja.”
Requirements
- The tai command line tool
- A configured speech-to-text provider
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eea1e7e. 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 bash).
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
Yao Audio Transcription loads about 416 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 130 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 130 words (~416 tokens).
“Use these tools to transcribe audio files to text using speech-to-text models.”
