Transcript Analyzer

Overview

Analyze meeting transcripts using AI to automatically extract and categorize:

• Decisions - Explicit agreements or choices made
• Action Items - Tasks assigned to people
• Opinions - Viewpoints expressed but not agreed upon
• Questions - Unresolved questions raised
• Terms - Domain-specific terminology for glossary

Prerequisites

Before first use, install dependencies:

cd ~/.claude/skills/transcript-analyzer/scripts && npm install

Usage

To analyze a transcript:

cd ~/.claude/skills/transcript-analyzer/scripts && npm run cli -- <transcript-file> -o <output.md> [options]

Options

Option	Description
<file>	Transcript file to analyze (first positional arg)
-o, --output <path>	Write markdown to file instead of stdout
--include-transcript	Include full transcript in output [default: off]
--no-extractions	Exclude extractions section
--no-glossary	Exclude glossary section
--glossary <path>	Custom glossary JSON path
--skip-glossary	Don't preload glossary terms
--max-terms <num>	Limit glossary suggestions
--chunk-size <num>	Override chunk size (default: 3000)

Examples

Basic Analysis

cd ~/.claude/skills/transcript-analyzer/scripts && npm run cli -- /path/to/meeting.md -o /path/to/analysis.md

Include Original Transcript

cd ~/.claude/skills/transcript-analyzer/scripts && npm run cli -- /path/to/meeting.md -o /path/to/analysis.md --include-transcript

Extractions Only (No Glossary)

cd ~/.claude/skills/transcript-analyzer/scripts && npm run cli -- /path/to/meeting.md -o /path/to/analysis.md --no-glossary

Analyze Specific Section

To analyze only part of a transcript, extract the section first:

sed -n '50,100p' /path/to/meeting.md > /tmp/section.md
cd ~/.claude/skills/transcript-analyzer/scripts && npm run cli -- /tmp/section.md -o /path/to/section-analysis.md

Output Format

The tool generates markdown with:

1. YAML Frontmatter - Processing metadata:

   • chunks processed
   • extractions count by type
   • new terms discovered
   • model used (llama-3.3-70b via Cerebras)
   • token usage (input/output/total)

2. Extractions - Categorized findings with confidence scores:

   • Each extraction includes speaker (if identified), source snippet, and related terms

3. Glossary - Approved terms from existing glossary + suggested new terms with definitions

The skill uses Cerebras API with the key stored in scripts/.env:
