Audio Transcribe
Transcribe audio using OpenAI, with optional speaker diarization when requested. Prefer the bundled CLI for deterministic, repeatable runs.
Workflow
- Collect inputs: audio file path(s), desired response format (text/json/diarized_json), optional language hint, and any known speaker references.
- Verify
OPENAI_API_KEYis set. If missing, ask the user to set it locally (do not ask them to paste the key). - Run the bundled
transcribe_diarize.pyCLI with sensible defaults (fast text transcription). - Validate the output: transcription quality, speaker labels, and segment boundaries; iterate with a single targeted change if needed.
- Save outputs under
output/transcribe/when working in this repo.
Decision rules
- Default to
gpt-4o-mini-transcribewith--response-format textfor fast transcription. - If the user wants speaker labels or diarization, use
--model gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize --response-format diarized_json. - If audio is longer than ~30 seconds, keep
--chunking-strategy auto. - Prompting is not supported for
gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize.
Output conventions
- Use
output/transcribe/<job-id>/for evaluation runs. - Use
--out-dirfor multiple files to avoid overwriting.
Dependencies (install if missing)
Prefer uv for dependency management.
uv pip install openai
If uv is unavailable:
python3 -m pip install openai
Environment
OPENAI_API_KEYmust be set for live API calls.- If the key is missing, instruct the user to create one in the OpenAI platform UI and export it in their shell.
- Never ask the user to paste the full key in chat.
Skill path (set once)
export CODEX_HOME="${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}"
export TRANSCRIBE_CLI="$CODEX_HOME/skills/transcribe/scripts/transcribe_diarize.py"
User-scoped skills install under $CODEX_HOME/skills (default: ~/.codex/skills).
CLI quick start
Single file (fast text default):
python3 "$TRANSCRIBE_CLI" \
path/to/audio.wav \
--out transcript.txt
Diarization with known speakers (up to 4):
python3 "$TRANSCRIBE_CLI" \
meeting.m4a \
--model gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize \
--known-speaker "Alice=refs/alice.wav" \
--known-speaker "Bob=refs/bob.wav" \
--response-format diarized_json \
--out-dir output/transcribe/meeting
Plain text output (explicit):
python3 "$TRANSCRIBE_CLI" \
interview.mp3 \
--response-format text \
--out interview.txt
Reference map

chatandbuild/xlsx
development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Use this skill any time a spreadsheet file is the primary input or output. This means any task where the user wants to: open, read, edit, or fix an existing .xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, or .tsv file (e.g., adding columns, computing formulas, formatting, charting, cleaning messy data); create a new spreadsheet from scratch or from other data sources; or convert between tabular file formats. Trigger especially when the user references a spreadsheet file by name or path — even casually (like "the xlsx in my downloads") — and wants something done to it or produced from it. Also trigger for cleaning or restructuring messy tabular data files (malformed rows, misplaced headers, junk data) into proper spreadsheets. The deliverable must be a spreadsheet file. Do NOT trigger when the primary deliverable is a Word document, HTML report, standalone Python script, database pipeline, or Google Sheets API integration, even if tabular data is involved.
