- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## 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 Local API - Secure & Private ASR

Deploy a privacy-first, 100% local speech-to-text service in a deterministic way. This allows OpenClaw to process audio transcriptions safely on your own hardware without ever contacting third-party cloud APIs.

### Key SEO & Security Features

100% Offline & Private: Your voice data, commands, and transcriptions never leave your host system. Zero cloud dependencies.
Highly Accurate: Uses the large-v3-turbo model via faster-whisper, achieving state-of-the-art accuracy even with accents or background noise.
Memory Safe: Operates around ~400-500MB of RAM, making it extremely lightweight for VPS or low-resource edge servers.
OpenAI API Compatible: Exposes a strict /v1/audio/transcriptions endpoint mimicking OpenAI's JSON format. Compatible natively with any software that supports OpenAI's Whisper API.

### Standard Workflow

Install/update runtime:
bash scripts/bootstrap.sh


Start service:
bash scripts/start.sh


Validate service health:
bash scripts/healthcheck.sh


(Optional) Run a smoke transcription test with a local audio file:
bash scripts/smoke-test.sh /path/to/test-speech.mp3

### Repo Location

Default install/update path used by scripts:

~/whisper-local-api

Override with env var before running scripts:

WHISPER_DIR=/custom/path bash scripts/bootstrap.sh

### OpenClaw Integration Notes

After the healthcheck passes, use the secure local endpoint:

URL: http://localhost:9000
Endpoint: /v1/audio/transcriptions

No authentication tokens are passed over the network.

### Safety Rules

Ask before any package-manager operations.
The API securely binds locally to 0.0.0.0. If exposing to the public internet, deploy behind a secure reverse proxy (like Nginx) and enforce HTTPS + Basic Auth.
This service will safely auto-fallback memory allocation modes (float16 -> int8) to prevent CPU crashes.
