Transcription, recording management, and quote extraction. Use when processing audio/video or generating timestamped transcripts.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Interview transcription and management
Practical workflows for journalists managing interviews from preparation through publication.
## When to activate
- Preparing questions for an interview
- Processing audio/video recordings
- Creating or managing transcripts
- Organizing notes from multiple sources
- Building a source relationship database
- Generating timestamped quotes for fact-checking
- Converting recordings to publishable quotes
## Recording setup for transcription
For pre-interview research, question design, attribution agreements, and consent scripts, use the **interview-prep** skill. The notes here cover only the recording configuration that affects transcription quality.
```python
# Standard recording configuration for clean transcription
RECORDING_SETTINGS = {
'format': 'wav', # Lossless for transcription
'sample_rate': 16000, # Whisper resamples to 16k anyway; 16k saves disk
'channels': 1, # Mono is fine for speech; stereo only if mics are positionally distinct
'backup': True, # Always run a backup recorder
}
# File naming convention
# YYYY-MM-DD_source-lastname_topic.wav

How to install
mdr add jamditis/claude-skills-journalism/interview-transcription@sha256:875638039a3a6f11The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.21f0bb2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
