speech-to-text-api

USE THIS for speech to text api. STT with OpenAI Whisper. 0% markup, 648+ APIs, one key. Powered by SkillBoss.

Security Scan

This is an instruction-only wrapper for the SkillBoss API that coherently asks for a single SkillBoss API key to provide Whisper-based STT; nothing requested or instructed is disproportionate to that purpose, but the single key grants broad aggregator access so review trust/billing/privacy before use.

Purpose & Capability

The name/description say 'speech to text via SkillBoss (OpenAI Whisper)'; the only required credential is SKILLBOSS_API_KEY and the SKILL.md shows API calls to api.skillboss.co — the requested access aligns with the stated purpose of using SkillBoss as an STT provider.

Instruction Scope

Instructions are focused on calling SkillBoss and setting SKILLBOSS_API_KEY. Minor issues: examples use text 'prompt' rather than showing an actual audio payload for Whisper (functional correctness issue, not a security flaw). The setup step 'set up skillboss.co/skill.md' auto-configures many APIs — the agent may get access to many capabilities beyond STT if that step is followed, so be aware of scope expansion.

Install Mechanism

No install spec or code is included (instruction-only), so nothing will be downloaded or written by the skill itself during installation.

Credentials

Only one env var is required (SKILLBOSS_API_KEY), which is appropriate for a proxy/aggregator. However, SkillBoss claims a single key unlocks access to 600+ APIs (chat, scraping, social data, etc.), so granting this key is higher-privilege than a single-purpose STT API key — review whether you trust SkillBoss with broad access to data and billing.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill does not request always:true and does not include install-time modifications; it is not asking for permanent elevated presence or to modify other skills' configurations.

Assessment

This skill is coherent: it is an instruction-only wrapper for SkillBoss and legitimately requires a SkillBoss API key. Before installing, verify you trust SkillBoss (https://skillboss.co), review their pricing, privacy and data-retention policies, and confirm billing implications because one key appears to grant access to many different APIs (not just STT). Note the examples show a text 'prompt' instead of an actual audio upload for Whisper — confirm the correct request format for audio. Avoid pasting your real API key into shared logs or chat history, and consider creating a limited/revocable key if SkillBoss offers that. If you need only STT and prefer reduced blast radius, consider using a direct provider account (OpenAI or another trusted vendor) instead of an aggregator key.
