Our review
Streams live transcription from active Fireflies meetings via WebSocket, displaying speaker and text in real-time.
Strengths
- Real-time transcription output as speech is detected.
- Simple command-line usage with just a meeting ID.
- Integrates with Fireflies API for authenticated access.
- Allows monitoring of meetings without being present.
Limitations
- Requires an active meeting with Fireflies bot already present.
- Some delay due to speech processing is normal.
- Only works with one meeting at a time from command line.
Use this skill when you need to monitor or capture live transcription from an ongoing Fireflies-enabled meeting.
Do not use this skill for past meetings or if you need a permanent transcript record; use the Fireflies API to fetch transcripts instead.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill uses a specific npm package to connect to the Fireflies API WebSocket for live transcription. There is no destructive or exfiltrating instruction, no obfuscation, and the command is limited to the intended purpose. The allowed-tool restricts execution to the named package, minimizing risk.
