1. Send voice notification:

   curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8888/notify \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"message": "Running the WORKFLOWNAME workflow in the AudioEditor skill to ACTION"}' \
     > /dev/null 2>&1 &
   

2. Output text notification:

Pipeline Architecture

Audio Input
    |
[Transcribe] Whisper word-level timestamps (insanely-fast-whisper on MPS)
    |
[Analyze] Claude classifies each segment:
    |   KEEP / CUT_FILLER / CUT_FALSE_START / CUT_EDIT_MARKER / CUT_STUTTER / CUT_DEAD_AIR
    |   Distinguishes rhetorical emphasis from accidental repetition
    |
[Edit] ffmpeg executes cuts:
    |   - 40ms qsin crossfades at every edit point
    |   - Room tone extraction and gap filling
    |   - Breath attenuation (50% volume, not removal)
    |
[Polish] (optional) Cleanvoice API final pass:
        - Mouth sound removal
        - Remaining filler detection
        - Loudness normalization

Output: cleaned MP3/WAV

Examples

Example 1: Clean a podcast recording

User: "clean up the audio on this podcast file"
-> Invokes Clean workflow
-> Runs full pipeline: transcribe -> analyze -> edit
-> Outputs cleaned MP3 with filler words, stutters, and dead air removed

Example 2: Preview edits before applying

User: "show me what edits you'd make to this recording"
-> Invokes Clean workflow with --preview flag
-> Transcribes and analyzes, shows proposed edits without modifying audio
-> User reviews edit list, then runs again to apply

Example 3: Aggressive clean with cloud polish

User: "aggressively clean this audio and polish it"
-> Invokes Clean workflow with --aggressive --polish flags
-> Tighter thresholds for filler detection
-> Cleanvoice API pass for mouth sounds and normalization
