Our review
Full-text search across meeting transcripts using the Fireflies API.
Strengths
- Fast search across many transcripts with a single API call.
- Relevant filters: questions, tasks, speaker, time period.
- Multiple output formats (plain text, table, JSON) for different needs.
Limitations
- Requires a valid Fireflies API key set as environment variable.
- Does not replace deep analysis of a single transcript.
- Only covers meetings indexed in Fireflies.
When you need to quickly find specific information (decision, question, action item) across meeting history.
When you need to explore the full content of a single meeting or perform offline analysis.
Security analysis
CautionThe skill runs a known npm package (`fireflies-api`) with a fixed command (`search`) and constrained options. While the command itself is read-only and not destructive, the use of `npm exec` to pull and run a third-party package introduces a supply chain risk. The skill does not attempt to exfiltrate the API key or perform destructive actions, but the package could theoretically be malicious. Given the legitimate nature of the Fireflies API, the risk is moderate.
- •Executes third-party npm package via `npm exec`, introducing supply chain risk.
- •Requires `FIREFLIES_API_KEY` environment variable, which could be misused if the package is compromised.
Examples
Search all transcripts for the word 'budget' and show results in a human-readable format with context.Search for 'deadline' but only in questions from the last week, output as a table.Search for 'action item' from the last 30 days, filtered by speaker 'Alice', showing surrounding context.name: ff-search description: Full-text search across meeting transcripts.

Examples
# Basic search
npm exec --yes --package=fireflies-api -- fireflies-api search "budget"
# Search with speaker filter
npm exec --yes --package=fireflies-api -- fireflies-api search "proposal" --speaker "John"
# Search questions from last week
npm exec --yes --package=fireflies-api -- fireflies-api search "deadline" --questions --last-week
# Search with context
npm exec --yes --package=fireflies-api -- fireflies-api search "action item" --context --limit 20
Instructions

Verify API key is set:
test -n "$FIREFLIES_API_KEY" && echo "Ready" || echo "ERROR: Set FIREFLIES_API_KEY" -
Execute the search command with the user's query and any relevant filters.
-
Suggest appropriate filters based on the user's intent (e.g.,
--questionsfor finding Q&A).
Usage Tips
Output Format:
- Use
-o plainfor human-readable output with context - Use
-o tablefor compact tabular view - Only use
-o jsonif user needs structured data
When to Use Search:
- Finding specific content across many transcripts (efficient - single call)
- Finding who said something, questions asked, or action items mentioned
- More efficient than listing transcripts + getting each one
