Automated summary

Uploads an audio or video file to Fireflies for automatic transcription via the Fireflies API.

Strengths

  • Simple and clear command with options for title, webhook, and language.
  • Supports many audio and video formats (MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV, WEBM).
  • Asynchronous integration with optional webhook notification.
  • Allows adding attendees and a custom reference ID.

Limitations

  • Requires a publicly accessible URL; no direct local file upload.
  • Transcription is asynchronous; must wait or set up a webhook.
  • Depends on the Fireflies API and requires a valid API key.
When to use it

When you have a publicly accessible audio/video file and need automatic transcription via Fireflies.

When not to use it

If the file is not publicly accessible or if you need instant transcription without delay.

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.
How this analysis is made

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'.

Examples

# Upload audio file

# Upload with webhook notification
npm exec --yes --package=fireflies-api -- fireflies-api audio upload "https://example.com/meeting.mp3" --title "Team Sync" --webhook "https://myapp.com/webhook"

# Upload with language specification

npm exec --yes --package=fireflies-api -- fireflies-api audio upload "https://example.com/meeting.mp3" --title "Client Call" --reference-id "call_2024_001"

Instructions

  1. Verify API key is set:

    test -n "$FIREFLIES_API_KEY" && echo "Ready" || echo "ERROR: Set FIREFLIES_API_KEY"

  2. Ensure the audio URL is publicly accessible.

  3. Suggest adding a title for easier identification.

  4. Transcription is asynchronous - suggest using webhook for notification or polling the transcripts list.

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/fireflies-audio-upload-mm5t8brh/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/fireflies-audio-upload-mm5t8brh' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/fireflies-audio-upload-mm5t8brh/download' --output '.skill-downloads/fireflies-audio-upload-mm5t8brh/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/fireflies-audio-upload-mm5t8brh/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/fireflies-audio-upload-mm5t8brh/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

Tools declared by the author (check availability in your agent): Bash(npm exec --yes --package=fireflies-api -- fireflies-api audio *)

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

Cursor
test -f '.skill-downloads/fireflies-audio-upload-mm5t8brh/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/fireflies-audio-upload-mm5t8brh/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.cursor/skills' && test ! -e '.cursor/skills/ff-audio' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/fireflies-audio-upload-mm5t8brh' '.cursor/skills/ff-audio'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/fireflies-audio-upload-mm5t8brh'

openskills read 'fireflies-audio-upload-mm5t8brh'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/fireflies-audio-upload-mm5t8brh/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
