SAI-local-transcribe
95 / 100 · Low risk
Fine to try.
Atomic SAI skill. Fully-local audio transcription via Whisper (mlx-whisper on Apple Silicon, faster-whisper fallback elsewhere). No audio leaves the machine; no API keys. Accepts a single audio file, a directory, or a podcast-download manifest.json. Writes one .md per input with YAML frontmatter compatible with a rag-index-updater pipeline. Use whenever you need to transcribe audio, run whisper on a file, transcribe all episodes in a folder, or any workflow needs text from audio.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'sai-local-transcribe' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'sai-local-transcribe' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named sai-local-transcribe already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/lutzfinger/SAI-baseversion' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '230c0cbe27ddb69dff12b1fb9dbfff72098be4d8' -- 'skills/local-transcribe' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/local-transcribe' ~/.agents/skills/'sai-local-transcribe' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'sai-local-transcribe' ~/.claude/skills/'sai-local-transcribe' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
