Luis Audio Translator

Other

Convert, compress, merge, split, clip, inspect, and extract audio locally with FFmpeg, plus decode supported music-cache formats including pure-Python Ximalaya .xm and optional Kugou/local helper formats. Use when Codex needs to process audio/video files, batch-convert music folders, inspect media metadata, or handle local encrypted/cache audio files.

Luis-audio-translator Skill

Overview

Use this skill for local audio processing through scripts/luis_audio_translator.py. It is portable: it does not contain personal paths, API keys, machine identifiers, or bundled proprietary binaries.

The core script works after download when Python is available and FFmpeg is installed on PATH. Ximalaya .xm decoding is built in and uses only Python. Other encrypted/cache formats may require optional local helper binaries.

When to Use

  • Convert audio formats, including extracting audio from video.
  • Compress audio by bitrate.
  • Merge multiple audio files in order.
  • Split a file into equal-duration parts.
  • Clip a time range from an audio/video file.
  • Inspect duration, codec, bitrate, sample rate, and audio streams.
  • Decode supported local music-cache inputs when the user has configured local helper tools.
  • Convert Kugou special formats with scripts/kugou_audio_converter.py.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.8+.
  • FFmpeg for conversion, merge, split, clip, and video-to-audio.
  • FFprobe for info and duration-aware split.

Resolution order:

  1. Command-line option: --app-dir <engine-dir>.
  2. Environment variables:
    • LUIS_AUDIO_TRANSLATOR_ENGINE_DIR
    • LUIS_AUDIO_TRANSLATOR_FFMPEG
    • LUIS_AUDIO_TRANSLATOR_FFPROBE
    • LUIS_AUDIO_TRANSLATOR_UM
    • LUIS_AUDIO_TRANSLATOR_MUSIC_TOOL
    • LUIS_AUDIO_TRANSLATOR_SILK
    • LUIS_AUDIO_TRANSLATOR_KGG_HELPER
    • LUIS_AUDIO_TRANSLATOR_KUGOU_INFRA_DLL
    • LUIS_AUDIO_TRANSLATOR_KUGOU_DB
  3. System PATH for ffmpeg and ffprobe.

Do not put user-specific paths in SKILL.md. If a machine needs a local engine directory, set an environment variable outside the skill.

How to Run

Resolve paths relative to the directory containing this SKILL.md.

Check dependency status:

python scripts/luis_audio_translator.py diagnose

Convert or extract audio:

python scripts/luis_audio_translator.py convert "input.mp4" --format mp3 --bitrate 192k --output-dir "out"

Compress:

python scripts/luis_audio_translator.py compress "input.wav" --format mp3 --bitrate 96k --output-dir "out"

Merge:

python scripts/luis_audio_translator.py merge "a.mp3" "b.wav" --format mp3 --output-dir "out" --basename "merged"

Split:

python scripts/luis_audio_translator.py split "input.mp3" --segment-seconds 300 --format mp3 --output-dir "out"

Clip:

python scripts/luis_audio_translator.py clip "input.mp3" --start 00:01:20 --duration 45 --format wav --output-dir "out"

Inspect:

python scripts/luis_audio_translator.py info "input.flac"

Decode local cache input:

python scripts/luis_audio_translator.py decrypt "input.ncm" --output-dir "out"

Decode Ximalaya .xm input:

python scripts/luis_audio_translator.py decrypt "input.xm" --output-dir "out"

Convert Kugou special formats:

python scripts/kugou_audio_converter.py diagnose --app-dir "<engine-dir>"
python scripts/kugou_audio_converter.py convert "KugouMusic" --format mp3 --output-dir "out" --recursive --app-dir "<engine-dir>"

Quick Reference

Common output formats: mp3, wav, ogg, flac, m4a, m4r, mp2, aiff, ac3, wma, amr, aac, opus, caf, au, mka, webm.

Kugou special input formats handled by kugou_audio_converter.py: .kgm, .kgma, .kgtemp, .kgm.flac, .kgg.

Ximalaya input handled by luis_audio_translator.py decrypt: .xm.

Special output handling:

  • amr forces 8000 Hz mono.
  • flac uses signed 16-bit sample format.
  • m4r uses an MP4 container.

Read references/core-behavior.md for supported input-extension lists and optional decode helper behavior.

Privacy And Portability

  • The skill does not embed local usernames, absolute install paths, credentials, or machine IDs.
  • The script does not send files or metadata over the network.
  • JSON output may include input/output paths because agents need them to continue workflows.
  • --print-command prints full local paths and should be used only for debugging.

Pitfalls

  • If diagnose reports no FFmpeg, install FFmpeg or set LUIS_AUDIO_TRANSLATOR_FFMPEG.
  • If split fails but convert works, install FFprobe or set LUIS_AUDIO_TRANSLATOR_FFPROBE.
  • Decrypt helpers other than .xm are optional and environment-specific; ordinary conversion and .xm decoding should not depend on them.
  • .kgg conversion needs kgg-helper and a compatible local Kugou infra.dll; KGMusicV3.db is used when available. Run the Kugou converter's diagnose command first.
  • .xm decoding is implemented in pure Python and does not require Node.js, WebAssembly, or external helpers.
  • OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude, and Codex should invoke the script by resolving scripts/luis_audio_translator.py relative to SKILL.md, not by using a machine-specific absolute path.

Verification

  • Run python scripts/luis_audio_translator.py diagnose.
  • Run python -m py_compile scripts/luis_audio_translator.py scripts/kugou_audio_converter.py scripts/xm_audio_decoder.py.
  • Run python scripts/xm_audio_decoder.py --self-test.
  • Generate or provide a short test media file, then run info, convert, merge, and split.
