Moves platform STT out into a plugin that owns the whole whisper.cpp contract: sidecar, config (a JSON file under DATA_PATH/transcribe/, validated against the server before storing), a thin proxy router, a skill so an agent knows the contract without being told, and a script-mode file-browser task (not agentic — no model turn per audio file). sidecar/transcribe.ts and its test moved unchanged from src/servers/api/stt/ — every constant in it has a reason attached and none of it was touched. The platform-side removal (routes, dead useAudioRecording path, Settings screen, locale keys) lands in a separate, uncommitted change in the platform repo for review. Not yet reachable from the file browser: the platform does not load tasks from a plugin's directory yet (skills/affordances/notifications do). Ships anyway per instructions.

# Transcribe Audio File
|
|
|
|
Sends the audio file to the `transcribe` plugin's own route — `POST /api/transcribe/transcribe` — and
|
|
files the result next to the original.
|
|
|
|
A **script** task, deliberately: the plugin already does its own language detection and transcription
|
|
server-side, so there is nothing here worth a model turn for. Running one per audio file would be a
|
|
model call spent re-deriving what the plugin already returns.
|
|
|
|
## What it does
|
|
|
|
1. Read the audio file at `file_path` and the caller's spoken-language preferences
|
|
(`GET /api/user/settings`).
|
|
2. `POST` the file to `/api/transcribe/transcribe`. The plugin detects the language and transcribes
|
|
faithfully in it — see `plugins/transcribe/skills/transcribe/SKILL.md` for the contract.
|
|
3. Create a sibling directory named `<date>_<slug>`, where `<date>` is today in `YYYYMMDD` and `<slug>`
|
|
is derived from the original file's own name (not a generated title — a script task gets no model
|
|
turn to ask for one).
|
|
4. Move the original audio file into that directory and save the transcription beside it as a
|
|
Markdown file with the same base name.
|
|
|
|
## Before it runs
|
|
|
|
The plugin has to be configured — `PUT /api/transcribe/config` with a reachable whisper.cpp URL. If it
|
|
is not, this fails with that told plainly rather than a generic error.
|
|
|
|
## What it deliberately does not do
|
|
|
|
The worked example this was adapted from (an agentic task) ran its own detect-language pass before
|
|
transcribing, and generated a title from the transcription's contents. Both are dropped here: the
|
|
detect-then-transcribe step is already what the plugin's route does internally, so repeating it would be
|
|
redundant work against the same server. And a generated title needs a model turn, which is exactly what
|
|
this task exists to avoid spending per file.
