Description
USE THIS for whisper api. OpenAI Whisper speech-to-text. 0% markup, 648+ APIs, one key. Powered by SkillBoss.
Usage Guidance
This skill is plausible but contains concerning inconsistencies and a vague remote setup step. Before installing or giving an API key: 1) Verify SkillBoss (https://skillboss.co) is a trusted provider — check reviews, privacy policy, and terms for audio data handling. 2) Do not run the 'set up skillboss.co/skill.md' command until you know exactly what it fetches/changes — ask the publisher for the contents of that file or a reproducible manual setup. 3) Test with a low-privilege, limited-quotas API key to avoid unexpected billing; monitor usage and set alerts. 4) Ask the publisher for a correct sample request for Whisper STT (showing how to upload audio/form-data or provide audio bytes), since the examples given use text prompts and are incorrect for STT. 5) Confirm the 0% markup and pricing claims in writing and verify billing behavior during tests. 6) If you need strong privacy guarantees, consider calling the official OpenAI Whisper endpoint directly instead of a third-party aggregator. If you want more confidence, request the publisher to supply a precise, audio-based API example and the exact behavior of the 'set up' step; that information would likely change the assessment.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: modesty-whisper-stt-api
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a standard API wrapper for the SkillBoss Whisper STT service. While it contains instructions for the agent to fetch additional configuration from a remote URL (skillboss.co/skill.md) and includes marketing-heavy steering for the agent to use their ecosystem for other tasks, there is no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or harmful code. The provided Python and curl examples are functional demonstrations of interacting with the service's API endpoint (api.skillboss.co).

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill name/description (Whisper STT via SkillBoss) matches the single required env var SKILLBOSS_API_KEY, which is reasonable. However, the provided examples are inconsistent with speech-to-text usage: the curl and Python examples pass a text 'prompt' instead of audio data or a file upload, which does not match how Whisper STT normally works. Minor numeric mismatches in the doc (648+ vs 687 APIs) increase suspicion about sloppy or autogenerated content.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are mostly limited to calling https://api.skillboss.co/v1/run (expected), but they also instruct the agent to run a vague command 'set up skillboss.co/skill.md' which promises to 'auto-configure' hundreds of APIs. That external 'set up' step is not explained and could cause the agent to fetch/apply remote configuration. The examples and guidance are otherwise within the domain of calling an external API, but the incorrect example payloads and the ambiguous auto-setup step are problematic.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files — nothing is written to disk by the skill itself, which lowers install-time risk.
Credentials
The skill only requests SKILLBOSS_API_KEY as its primary credential. That single credential is proportionate to a third-party API proxy service and matches the declared primaryEnv.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no install means the skill doesn't demand permanent presence. However, the 'set up skillboss.co/skill.md' instruction could lead an agent to perform a remote configuration action that effectively changes agent behavior or adds capabilities; autonomous invocation combined with that remote setup would broaden the blast radius if followed automatically.
How to Use
