Transcript Critic
Turn any podcast, talk, or video into a timestamped critical breakdown, all on your own machine
About this skill
Transcript Critic transcribes audio and video locally with whisper.cpp, so your recordings never leave your computer, then writes a structured critical review of what was said. It pulls out timestamped key points, labels the kind of evidence being used, flags logical fallacies, and points to gaps or underdeveloped claims. It works on local files or on links you paste, giving you a fast, honest read on lectures, sermons, interviews, and long videos.
What it does
- Transcribe local audio/video files on-device with whisper.cpp
- Download and transcribe audio from a YouTube or other URL you paste
- Produce a timestamped markdown analysis with summaries, evidence notes, and logical-fallacy flags
- Write the analysis file next to your source media
- Send your recordings, transcripts, or analysis to any external server
- Access credentials, API keys, or files outside the media/repo folder
- Grant itself broad command permissions (only a scoped read rule is added)
