Podcast Chaptering Highlights

Create chapters, highlights, and show notes from podcast audio or transcripts. Use when a user wants chapter markers, highlight clips, or show-note drafts without publishing or distribution actions.

Security Scan

The skill's instructions, required inputs, and referenced resources are consistent with its stated purpose (creating chapters, highlights, and show notes) and it does not request unrelated credentials, installs, or privileges.

Purpose & Capability

Name, description, and required inputs (audio file path or transcript, timestamp format, chapter length) align with the stated purpose of generating chapter markers, highlights, and show notes. No unexpected binaries, env vars, or unrelated permissions are requested.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md and the referenced docs focus on segmentation, highlights, UX, and safety. They explicitly forbid publishing or uploading audio without approval and instruct treating audio as private. No instructions request reading unrelated system files or environment variables.

Install Mechanism

Instruction-only skill with no install spec or code to write to disk. Lowest-risk install footprint — nothing will be downloaded or executed by the skill itself.

Credentials

No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are declared or required. References mention optional transcription or hosting integrations only as user-approved choices, which is proportionate to the functionality.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill does not request always-on presence (always: false) and does not modify system or other-skill configuration. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default on the platform but is not a red flag here given the skill's narrow scope.

Assessment

This skill appears coherent and limited to drafting chapters and highlights. Before installing, confirm you trust the agent with any audio files or transcripts you provide (the skill needs access to those files to work). If you plan to use external transcription or hosting integrations later, be prepared to supply credentials at that time — the skill itself does not request them. Keep sensitive or private content out of inputs unless you understand your platform's file and network access policies, and explicitly deny publishing/uploading actions unless you approve them.

Podcast Chaptering and Highlights

Goal

Produce podcast chapter markers and highlight suggestions with concise show notes.

Best fit

• Use when the user provides audio files or transcripts.
• Use when the user wants chapter timestamps and titles.
• Use when the user needs highlight clip ideas and show notes.

Not fit

• Avoid when the user asks to publish or upload to hosting platforms.
• Avoid when rights or consent are unclear.
• Avoid when audio quality is too poor to segment.

Quick orientation

• references/overview.md for workflow and quality bar.
• references/auth.md for access and token handling.
• references/endpoints.md for optional integrations and templates.
• references/webhooks.md for async event handling.
• references/ux.md for intake questions and output formats.
• references/troubleshooting.md for common issues.
• references/safety.md for safety and privacy guardrails.

Required inputs

• Audio file path or transcript.
• Target chapter format (MM:SS or HH:MM:SS).
• Preferred chapter length range.
• Show description and guest details if available.

Expected output

• Chapter markers with timestamps and titles.
• Highlight clip suggestions with timestamps.
• Show notes draft with key links or topics.
• Optional social post drafts.

Operational notes

• Keep chapters aligned to topic shifts.
• Ensure titles are concise and descriptive.
• Provide drafts only; do not publish or upload.

Security notes

• Treat audio content as private unless told otherwise.
• Avoid sharing raw audio beyond the workspace.

Safe mode

• Analyze and draft chapters, highlights, and notes only.
• No publishing or distribution actions.

Sensitive ops

• Uploading or publishing audio is out of scope.
