Speechall command-line tool for fast speech-to-text transcription using multiple providers

v0.1.1

Install and use the speechall CLI tool for speech-to-text transcription. Use when the user wants to: (1) transcribe audio or video files to text, (2) install speechall on macOS or Linux, (3) list available STT models and their capabilities, (4) use speaker diarization, subtitles, or other transcription features from the terminal. Triggers on mentions of speechall, audio transcription CLI, or speech-to-text from the command line.

Purpose & Capability
The name/description match the SKILL.md: it documents installing and using a speechall CLI to transcribe audio via the Speechall API and lists sensible commands and options (transcribe, models, diarization, output formats). The claimed multi-provider support is plausible for a single aggregator API.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md stays within the stated purpose: it only instructs how to install the CLI, set an API key, and run transcription/model-listing commands. It references external endpoints (speechall.com console and GitHub releases) which is expected, but the instructions explicitly require an API key (SPEECHALL_API_KEY) even though the skill metadata did not declare any required env vars — see environment_proportionality.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec in the registry (instruction-only), and the SKILL.md suggests installing via Homebrew or downloading GitHub releases. Those are standard distribution channels; nothing in the instructions calls out obscure or shortener URLs or archive extraction behavior. However, there is no published homepage/source in the metadata to verify the tap or GitHub repo beyond the URLs in the instructions.

Credentials
The SKILL.md requires an API key supplied via SPEECHALL_API_KEY or a flag and points users to speechall.com to create keys, yet the registry metadata lists no required env vars/primary credential. That mismatch is an incoherence: the skill effectively needs a sensitive credential but does not declare it. Also the skill references external provider names (OpenAI, Deepgram, Google, etc.) which might imply additional credentials in some setups — the instructions do not require these, which is plausible but should be explicit.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true, does not include an install spec that writes to disk via the registry, and does not ask to modify other skills or system config. It only instructs the agent/user to install a CLI locally, so no elevated persistent privileges are requested by the skill itself.
What to consider before installing
Things to check before installing or using this skill: - The SKILL.md expects you to provide SPEECHALL_API_KEY, but the skill metadata doesn't list any required credential — treat that as an omission and assume the API key is required. Confirm where you will get the key (speechall.com) and whether you trust that service. - Verify the Homebrew tap and GitHub release URLs referenced in the instructions (Speechall/tap and github.com/Speechall/speechall-cli) before running brew install or downloading binaries. Prefer officially signed releases. - Because the skill communicates with an external transcription service, be cautious about uploading sensitive audio. Review the Speechall service's privacy, retention, and billing policies before sending private data. - Ask the skill publisher to update the registry metadata to declare SPEECHALL_API_KEY as a required credential and to provide a homepage/source link. If you must proceed, create a scoped API key with minimal permissions and be prepared to rotate it if you stop using the service. - If you want higher assurance, test the CLI in an isolated environment (VM or sandbox) and inspect network activity when you first run it.

Like a lobster shell, security has layers — review code before you run it.
