Security analysis

Caution
Quality score80/100

The skill relies on an external npm package and allows arbitrary arguments to be passed, which could lead to command injection if an attacker controls the input. While not overtly destructive, the combination of third-party code execution and file writing poses a moderate risk.

Findings
  • •Executes a third-party npm package (fireflies-api) which could contain malicious code or vulnerabilities.
  • •Potential shell injection risk if user-supplied arguments are not properly sanitized before being appended to the npm exec command.

Examples

Export transcript to Markdown file
Export the Fireflies transcript with ID 'transcript_123' to a Markdown file named meeting-notes.md.
Export transcript to JSON
Export the Fireflies transcript with ID 'transcript_456' to JSON format and save it as transcript.json.
Export transcript without summary

  • [file] - Output file path (optional, defaults to stdout)

Examples

# Export to markdown file
npm exec --yes --package=fireflies-api -- fireflies-api export "transcript_123" meeting-notes.md

# Export to JSON
npm exec --yes --package=fireflies-api -- fireflies-api export "transcript_123" meeting.json --format json

# Export without timestamps
npm exec --yes --package=fireflies-api -- fireflies-api export "transcript_123" notes.md --no-timestamps

Instructions

  1. Verify API key is set:

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

  2. Ask user for preferred format if not specified.

  3. For file output, confirm the destination path with the user.

  4. Markdown format is human-readable; JSON is for programmatic use.

Usage Tips

Format Selection:

  • Use Markdown (.md) for human-readable documentation (default)
  • Use JSON only when user needs structured data for processing
  • When exporting to stdout, Markdown is easier to read in the terminal
