Description
Speech-to-text via SkillBoss API Hub (STT, powered by Whisper and more).
Usage Guidance
This skill will upload whatever local file you point it at to api.skillbossai.com using the SKILLBOSS_API_KEY. Only provide an API key you trust and limit its scope if possible. Avoid transcribing sensitive audio (legal calls, private conversations, recordings containing secrets) unless you have reviewed SkillBoss's privacy/retention policy. When using the agent, double-check file paths before invoking the skill (or restrict the agent's permissions) to prevent accidental exfiltration of non-audio or sensitive files. If you need guarantees about deletion/retention or want on-premises processing, consider a different solution or ask the skill owner for privacy details.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: toby-transcribe
Version: 1.0.0
The skill provides a standard interface for speech-to-text transcription via the SkillBoss API Hub. The documentation in SKILL.md contains straightforward Python examples using the requests library to send audio data to a legitimate-appearing API endpoint (api.skillbossai.com). No malicious code, obfuscation, or unauthorized data exfiltration patterns were identified.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description match the runtime instructions: the SKILL.md shows sending base64-encoded audio to SkillBoss's /v1/pilot endpoint for STT. The single required environment variable (SKILLBOSS_API_KEY) is appropriate for a hosted STT API.
Instruction Scope
Instructions explicitly read a local file path and base64-encode it before POSTing to an external API — this is necessary for transcription, but it also means the agent can upload any file path you give it. The SKILL.md does not place limits or give privacy guidance (no mention of retention, redaction, or file-type checks), so there's a risk of unintentionally uploading sensitive content if you or an autonomous agent point it at arbitrary paths.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only. This minimizes on-disk installation risk; nothing is downloaded or executed by an installer as part of the skill package.
Credentials
Only SKILLBOSS_API_KEY is required. That is proportional for a hosted STT service. There are no unrelated credentials or config paths requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable. Autonomous invocation is allowed by platform default but not elevated by this skill. The skill does not request modification of other skills or persistent system-wide changes.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install toby-transcribe - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/toby-transcribe - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
