| name | capture-voice-idea |
| description | Capture a business idea from a voice memo / audio file. Transcribes the recording, preserves the raw transcript, then hands off to capture-idea so the user can optionally generate executive summary, elevator pitch, technical deep-dive, and timeline variants. Use when the user has an audio file or recording of an idea pitch. |
Capture Idea (voice)
Pipeline: audio → transcript → structured idea workspace.
Steps
- Resolve config (workspace path, user context).
- Take the audio file path from the user. Verify it exists and looks like an audio file.
- Transcribe. Prefer the
claude-transcription plugin's skills if installed:
claude-transcription:transcribe-gemini-cleaned — fastest path, removes filler words
claude-transcription:transcribe-gemini-raw — verbatim if the user wants every word preserved
- Fallback: prompt the user to install
claude-transcription or supply an existing transcript.
- Save the raw transcript to a temp path. Show the user a short preview (first ~200 words) before proceeding.
- Hand the transcript to
capture-idea:
- Pass the transcript text as the raw input
- Tag the resulting
idea.md frontmatter with source: voice and audio_file: <original-path>
- Copy the audio file (or symlink) into
<workspace_path>/ideas/<idea-slug>/source-audio.<ext> so the recording stays with the workspace
- Continue through
capture-idea's formatted-variant menu so the user can pick which derived versions to generate.
Notes
- Voice captures often contain digressions and false starts. Prefer the cleaned transcription unless the user explicitly wants raw.
- For long recordings (>30 min), suggest
claude-transcription:truncate-silence first.
- Always preserve the original audio file in the workspace — it's the ultimate source.
