README

transcript-critic

A [Claude Code Skill](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills) that transcribes audio files or YouTube videos using [whisper.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp) and then generates a structured, critical analysis of the transcript -- all from a single slash command.

Run `/transcribe` followed by a `.vtt` file, an audio file, or a URL (including YouTube and other `yt-dlp` supported sites) and Claude will handle the rest: downloading, converting, transcribing, and producing a detailed markdown summary.
