Automated summary

Manage clips and soundbites from meeting transcripts using the Fireflies API.

Strengths

  • Quickly create, list, and retrieve highlight clips
  • Filter by transcript, limit, and ownership (mine/team)
  • Flexible output formats (JSON, table, plain text)

Limitations

  • Requires a Fireflies API key
  • Only handles clips, not full transcripts
  • Depends on the external Fireflies service
When to use it

When you need to extract key moments from a meeting as reusable clips.

When not to use it

If you need to analyze the entire transcript or work offline.

Security analysis

Caution
Quality score90/100

The skill relies on the third-party 'fireflies-api' npm package, introducing supply chain risk. While the commands are limited to non-destructive API calls, the Bash execution context could potentially access sensitive environment variables.

Findings
  • •Uses Bash to execute npm exec --yes, which auto-downloads a package from npm; potential supply chain risk.
  • •Instructions require setting an API key, which could be exposed if the tool or environment is compromised.

Examples

# List recent bites
npm exec --yes --package=fireflies-api -- fireflies-api bites list --limit 10

# List bites from a specific transcript
npm exec --yes --package=fireflies-api -- fireflies-api bites list --transcript "transcript_123"

# Get a specific bite
npm exec --yes --package=fireflies-api -- fireflies-api bites get "bite_456"

# Create a new bite
npm exec --yes --package=fireflies-api -- fireflies-api bites create --transcript "transcript_123" --start 120 --end 180 --name "Key Decision"

Instructions

  1. Verify API key is set:

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

  2. For creating bites, ensure start and end times are within the transcript duration.

  3. Suggest meaningful names for bites to make them easier to find later.

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-bites-clip-management-mma3jrcl/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-bites-clip-management-mma3jrcl' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/fireflies-bites-clip-management-mma3jrcl/download' --output '.skill-downloads/fireflies-bites-clip-management-mma3jrcl/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/fireflies-bites-clip-management-mma3jrcl/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/fireflies-bites-clip-management-mma3jrcl/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 bites *)

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.

test -f '.skill-downloads/fireflies-bites-clip-management-mma3jrcl/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/fireflies-bites-clip-management-mma3jrcl/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/ff-bites' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/fireflies-bites-clip-management-mma3jrcl' '.claude/skills/ff-bites'

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-bites-clip-management-mma3jrcl'

openskills read 'fireflies-bites-clip-management-mma3jrcl'

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-bites-clip-management-mma3jrcl/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.
