Openai Whisper
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
This looks like a straightforward local Whisper transcription helper; the main thing to notice is that it installs and runs an external Whisper CLI package and downloads model files on first use.
This skill appears safe for its stated purpose. Before installing, make sure you trust the Homebrew `openai-whisper` package, expect model downloads to be stored under `~/.cache/whisper`, and remember that transcripts may contain sensitive content from the audio files you choose to process.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
Installing and using the skill will run the locally installed Whisper CLI and may download model files into the user's cache directory.
The skill relies on an external Homebrew package and first-run Whisper model downloads. This is disclosed and purpose-aligned, but users are trusting those external artifacts rather than code included in the skill.
