# Whisper (CLI)

Use `whisper` to transcribe audio locally.

Quick start

- `whisper /path/audio.mp3 --model medium --output_format txt --output_dir .`
- `whisper /path/audio.m4a --task translate --output_format srt`

Notes

- Models download to `~/.cache/whisper` on first run.
- `--model` defaults to `turbo` on this install.
- Use smaller models for speed, larger for accuracy.

Use this skill

Per request

Add a "skill" field with the skill’s ID to your chat completion request. It is applied server-side before your prompt is sent — no extra calls.

{
  "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
  "skill": "imp-1ddab551-c7d0-45c1-b404-5344f2f2eee7",
  "messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "…" }]
}
Always on — no field to send

Install the skill, enable it in your dashboard and (optionally) limit it to specific models. It then applies automatically to every matching request — with no "skill" field to send each time.
