## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

## Documentation

### whisper-cpp (Local Whisper STT for OpenClaw)

This skill sets up local whisper.cpp STT for inbound Telegram voice notes.

### Dependencies

You need build tools (git, cmake, compiler toolchain) + curl and ffmpeg (to decode Telegram OGG/Opus → WAV).

### Install

From this skill directory:

bash scripts/install_whisper_cpp.sh
bash scripts/download_models.sh
bash scripts/install_wrapper.sh
bash scripts/patch_openclaw_audio.sh

Send a Telegram voice note to test.

### Model choice

This setup uses ggml Whisper models stored in ~/.cache/whisper.

Common model names you can download:

tiny, base, small, medium
large-v1, large-v2, large-v3 (bigger/slower, usually more accurate)

By default we download: base + small.

To download specific models:

bash scripts/download_models.sh tiny base small

For the OpenClaw wrapper, you can select:

OPENCLAW_WHISPER_MODEL=small openclaw-whisper-stt /path/to/audio

Default language: auto-detect (OPENCLAW_WHISPER_LANG=auto)
Force a language (example):
OPENCLAW_WHISPER_LANG=en openclaw-whisper-stt /path/to/audio

Models are stored in: ~/.cache/whisper.

### Cleanup (optional)

After install (whisper-cli + libs are in ~/.local/):

bash scripts/cleanup_build.sh

### Troubleshooting

Confirm OpenClaw is using the wrapper:

which openclaw-whisper-stt
openclaw config get tools.media.audio.models

Test the wrapper directly:

openclaw-whisper-stt /path/to/audio.ogg
OPENCLAW_WHISPER_MODEL=small openclaw-whisper-stt /path/to/audio.ogg

Follow gateway logs while sending a Telegram voice note:

openclaw logs --follow

### Files

Wrapper source: bin/openclaw-whisper-stt.sh (linked to ~/.local/bin/openclaw-whisper-stt)
OpenClaw config patcher: scripts/patch_openclaw_audio.sh
