  • Transcription is asynchronous; must wait or set up a webhook.
  • Depends on the Fireflies API and requires a valid API key.

When not to use it

Security analysis

Caution
Quality score88/100

The skill instructs running a third-party npm package with automatic confirmation, which could execute untrusted code if the package is compromised, though the package appears legitimate. No inherent data destruction or exfiltration is instructed.

Findings
  • Uses `npm exec --yes` which automatically installs and executes a third-party package without manual review, increasing supply-chain risk if the package is compromised.
  • The command runs in Bash with network access, potentially exposing data if the package behaves unexpectedly.

Examples

Upload meeting recording
Upload https://example.com/meeting.mp3 to Fireflies for transcription with title 'Q4 Planning'.
Upload with webhook
Upload https://example.com/team-sync.mp3 to Fireflies, title 'Team Sync', and send completion notification to https://myapp.com/webhook.
Upload with language and reference
Upload https://example.com/german-meeting.mp3 to Fireflies with title 'German Meeting', language 'de', and reference ID 'call_2024_001'.
