Skills (17)

• ccr-import

  Use when Daniel wants to import call recordings from Cube Call Recorder (CCR) on his Android phone via ADB. Triggers on phrases like "import from cube", "grab the CCR recording", "pull yesterday's call from my phone", "import call recorder file", or any request to fetch an audio file produced by Cub

• denoise-deepfilter

  Use when the user wants to denoise audio using modern ML-based filtering. DeepFilterNet produces cleaner speech than traditional FFT/rnnoise methods — no watery/hollow artifacts. Wraps `deepFilter` binary for podcast/voice cleanup.

• detect-cues

  Use when the user wants automatic cue/chapter timestamps based on acoustic features (onsets, energy spikes, silence boundaries, beat positions, pitch changes) rather than transcript content. Wraps the `aubio` CLI tools to emit a sidecar JSON with timestamps and metadata. Complements `suggest-title-d

• distrokid-prep

  Use when Daniel wants to prep raw audio tracks for DistroKid upload — convert to FLAC, EBU R128 normalize, and group under distrokid/to-upload/<release>/. Triggers on "distrokid prep", "prep for distrokid", "prep these tracks for upload", "normalize and FLAC for distrokid".

• extract-vocals

  Use when the user wants to quickly extract vocals (or isolated instrumentals) from a song or recording. Convenience wrapper around 2-stem `demucs` mode. Fastest stem separation for the common case.

• generate-cues

  Pre-generate the TTS announcement clips ("Sample 1", "Sample 2") that tune-preset and audition-preset stitch into combined comparison files so the user can identify which take is which without context-switching to a UI. Uses edge-tts (Microsoft Edge neural voices) by default; falls back to espeak-ng

• install-deps

  Provision the plugin's tools — system binaries via the host package manager, all Python tools into a plugin-owned uv venv at <data-dir>/venv/. Idempotent doctor — run before onboard or any time a command reports a missing dep. Never touches system Python or fights PEP 668.

• labelled-ab

  Build one listening file that compares two or more versions of a clip (original vs denoised, raw vs EQ'd, model A vs model B) with a spoken label before each version ("Original" ... "Denoised" ...), played through twice so the user can listen again without tracking which file is which. Use when the

• light-edit

  One-command light edit of a solo spoken-word recording (voice note, podcast monologue, MP3/WAV/M4A) to make it fit to share publicly. Cuts "um"/"uh"/"hmm" fillers with the Uhm frame classifier (no ASR), shortens long pauses, applies EQ fitted to the speaker's own voice, compresses gently and normali

• new-workspace

  Provision a new audio-production workspace on disk. Use when the user wants to start a new audio engineering project or podcast production repo. Accepts a workspace name and optional variant (audio-engineering | podcast). Scaffolds the workspace, personalises CLAUDE.md from the user's global memory,

• onboard

  First-run setup for the audio-production plugin. Provisions the persistent user-data directory, registers the user's primary microphone, captures a 3-min sample, profiles it, seeds default EQ presets, and produces 1-min A/B auditions. Run once before using profile-voice, suggest-eq, or apply-preset.

• separate-stems

  Use when the user wants to separate an audio file into vocal and instrumental stems (or 6-stem separation). Wraps `demucs` for isolating drums, bass, vocals, and other instruments. Common uses — karaoke prep, podcast remixing, music production.

• silence-cut-edl

  Use when the user wants the silence-cut decisions as an editable timeline (Kdenlive / Final Cut Pro / Premiere / Shotcut XML) rather than a baked audio file, so they can review and adjust cuts in a video/audio editor before committing. Wraps `auto-editor` with a timeline export target.

• silence-cut

  Use when the user wants to remove silent sections from a recording with real cuts (not just collapsed gaps), producing a tightened audio file. Wraps `auto-editor` for podcast/voice cleanup. Distinct from `truncate-silence` — that collapses internal silences via ffmpeg `silenceremove`; this performs

• time-stretch

  Use when the user wants to speed up or slow down audio while preserving pitch — podcast tightening (1.05–1.15× is common), slow-talker correction, fitting an episode to a target duration, or de-chipmunking a sped-up source. Wraps `rubberband-cli` for high-quality time-stretch; falls back to ffmpeg `

• tune-preset

  Iteratively A/B tune an EQ preset to the user's taste. Each round renders two 15-second variants of the user's mic sample (with side-by-side spectrograms), the user picks A or B (or describes what they want changed), and the skill perturbs the preset accordingly until the user is happy. Then saves t

• vad

  Voice activity detection (VAD) — detect speech regions in an audio file and either emit a timing sidecar (JSON/CSV) or split the file into per-utterance segments. Use when the user wants to chunk long recordings for transcription, trim non-speech regions, find silence boundaries between speakers, or

Slash commands (34)

• /audio-production:add-mic

  Register a new microphone profile in the plugin's user-data directory. Captures mic metadata, extracts a 3-min sample from a source recording, runs voice profiling, and (optionally) seeds default presets bound to this mic.

• /audio-production:apply-chain

  Run a full audio-engineering chain on a file — highpass, EQ, de-essing, compression, optional loudness normalisation — in a single ffmpeg invocation. Use a saved preset or build a chain inline.

• /audio-production:apply-preset

  Apply a saved EQ + dynamics preset to an audio file via ffmpeg. Reads the preset JSON from the plugin's user-data directory, builds a filter chain, and writes a processed copy alongside the input.

• /audio-production:assemble-episode

  Concatenate intro + body + outro (with optional crossfade) into a single episode master (podcast workspace)

• /audio-production:audition-preset

  Apply a saved preset to a 1-minute clip from the bound mic's reference sample (or any audio file) and emit before/after WAVs side-by-side for A/B listening.

• /audio-production:auto-gain

  Quick peak or RMS normalization — lightweight alternative to full EBU R128 loudnorm

• /audio-production:bake-cover-art

  Embed cover art into an existing MP3 without re-encoding the audio

• /audio-production:check-loudness

  Measure an audio file's integrated LUFS, true peak, and loudness range without modifying it

• /audio-production:compress

  Apply dynamic range compression to an audio file via ffmpeg's acompressor. Use for taming peaks and increasing perceived loudness on spoken-word, vocal, or podcast material. Standalone — does not require a saved preset.

• /audio-production:concat-audio

  Concatenate multiple audio files (with optional crossfade) into a single output

• /audio-production:convert-format

  Convert audio between formats (WAV / FLAC / MP3 / Opus / AAC) with explicit bitrate and sample-rate control

• /audio-production:de-ess

  Reduce sibilance ("s" / "sh" harshness) in a voice recording using a band-limited dynamic cut. ffmpeg-only proxy for a true sidechain de-esser — fast and good enough for most podcast and spoken-word material.

• /audio-production:denoise

  Remove background noise from an audio file. Local-first — DeepFilterNet (ML, validated) or ffmpeg afftdn (non-ML, instant). Use before mastering, before applying EQ presets, or whenever a recording has hum, hiss, room noise, or constant background sound that needs reducing.

• /audio-production:export-final

  Encode a mastered WAV to tagged MP3 with embedded cover art, placed in finished/ (podcast workspace)

• /audio-production:extract-sample

  Extract a fixed-duration sample (default 3 minutes) from a longer audio file for profiling. Auto-picks the loudest contiguous window or accepts an explicit start time. Produces a clean WAV at 48 kHz mono PCM.

• /audio-production:generate-cover-art

  Generate cover art (text-to-image or image-to-image) via Fal AI Nano Banana 2

• /audio-production:list-mics

  List all registered microphone profiles in the plugin's user-data directory, with metadata and the presets bound to each.

• /audio-production:list-presets

  List EQ + dynamics presets saved in the plugin's user-data directory. Shows name, use case, when created, and a one-line summary of the filter chain.

• /audio-production:mark-uploaded

• /audio-production:mono-to-stereo

  Convert a mono file to stereo (duplicate, pan, or pseudo-stereo widening)

• /audio-production:new-episode

  Scaffold a new episode folder under episodes/ with standard subfolders and a notes template (podcast workspace)

• /audio-production:normalize

  Normalize an audio file to a target LUFS (default -16, podcast standard) using ffmpeg two-pass loudnorm

• /audio-production:polish

  Full production chain orchestrator — runs (optional denoise) → truncate-silence → EQ preset chain → loudnorm in one invocation. Two modes: clean (default, source is already clean) and noisy (adds DeepFilterNet denoise). Designed as the one-shot finisher for podcast and spoken-word recordings.

• /audio-production:prep-for-transcription

  Prep an audio file for transcription pipelines (Whisper/Gemini) — optional VAD, then mono 16 kHz Opus @ 24 kbps

• /audio-production:profile-voice

  Analyse a mic's reference sample and write a spectral profile (F0, sibilance, mud, resonant peaks) into the plugin's user-data directory. Bound to a specific mic — re-run after changing mic, room, or capture chain.

Use to compact a long recording for podcast assembly or to tighten meandering takes.

• /audio-production:upscale-cover-art

  Upscale a cover art image using Fal AI SeedVR image upscaler

• /audio-production:vad-segment

  Voice-activity-detect an audio file and emit a timing sidecar or per-utterance segment files

Subagents (1)

• audio-engineer

  Autonomous audio processing subagent. Use for multi-step audio chains — e.g. "trim silence, normalize to -16 LUFS, export MP3 with tags" — where each step depends on the previous output.
