transcribe-refiner

Transform raw auto-generated captions into clean, readable transcripts with zero content loss.

Auto-generated captions (Zoom, YouTube, Teams, etc.) are messy: fragmented sentences, timestamps everywhere, speaker tags on every line, filler words, transcription errors. This skill reconstructs them into coherent, flowing text that can be consumed by humans or downstream skills (like lecture-alchemist).

Zero Content Loss Every substantive statement, technical term, concept, question, and answer from the raw captions MUST appear in the output. Only noise is removed, never content.

Clean and reconstruct raw auto-generated captions (Zoom, YouTube, Teams, Google Meet, Otter.ai, etc.) into readable, coherent transcripts. Use when the user provides raw caption files (.txt, .vtt, .srt), meeting transcripts with timestamps and speaker tags, or asks to clean up/refine a transcript. Handles: timestamp removal, speaker tag normalization, filler word removal, broken sentence reconstruction, transcription error correction, paragraph formation. Preserves every piece of substantive content while removing noise. Trigger phrases: 'clean this transcript', 'refine captions', 'fix this transcript', 'process Zoom captions', 'clean up meeting notes'. Source: prakharmnnit/skills-and-personas.
