HN Podcast Archive

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed podcast archiving tool that downloads user-selected feed audio, runs local transcription, and writes archive files to a chosen output folder.

Install ffmpeg, whisper, and feedparser from trusted sources, run the script first with --limit and a dedicated output directory, and only schedule the cron-style automation after confirming the feed and disk usage are acceptable.
