whisper

OpenAI's general-purpose speech recognition model. Supports 99 languages, transcription, translation to English, and language identification. Six model sizes from tiny (39M params) to large (1550M params). Use for speech-to-text, podcast transcription, or multilingual audio processing. Best for robust, multilingual ASR.

Quality

Content

65%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

Highly actionable with strong executable examples, but verbose with redundant tables and an orphaned reference file, and batch processing lacks validation checkpoints.

Suggestions

Link references/languages.md from the Language support section and move the full language detail there instead of inlining a duplicate list.

Add try/except and per-file verification to the Batch processing loop so failures are caught and reported rather than aborting the run.

Consolidate the model-sizes and performance tables to remove redundancy and tighten the overall token budget.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient with executable snippets and no over-explanation of basics, but redundant tables (model sizes plus a separate performance table) and an inline language list duplicating references/languages.md could be tightened; not score 3 because of this padding.

2 / 3

Actionability

Provides copy-paste-ready, fully executable code and CLI commands across transcription, options, batch, GPU, and faster-whisper usage; not score 2 because examples are complete rather than pseudocode.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Sequences for each task are clear, but the batch-processing loop has no try/except or verification checkpoint, and per rubric guidance batch operations without validation cap this at 2; not score 1 because steps are present and ordered.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Sections are organized, but the body inlines content that should be separate (language list, CLI reference, performance tables) and the existing references/languages.md is never linked/signaled — an orphaned reference; not score 3 because navigation to the bundle is missing and content is largely monolithic.

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, third-person description that states concrete capabilities and provides an explicit 'Use for...' trigger, covering what and when clearly with low conflict risk.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — "transcription, translation to English, and language identification" — plus specific model-size range, matching the 'lists multiple specific concrete actions' anchor.

3 / 3

Completeness

Answers both 'what' (capabilities listed) and 'when' via the explicit "Use for speech-to-text, podcast transcription, or multilingual audio processing" trigger clause.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Natural user phrasing is well covered: "speech-to-text", "podcast transcription", "multilingual audio processing", "speech recognition" — terms a user would actually say.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche (robust multilingual ASR) with distinct triggers unlikely to overlap with other skills; not score 2 because the domain is sharply scoped rather than broadly overlapping.
