/srt

A skill that extracts the source-language subtitles of a video/audio via the Perso AI STT API — and then you (the agent) translate them into the requested languages.

Core rules (must follow)

  • Only the worker sees the raw key. Never open the key with Read, echo it, or pass it as a command-line argument. Workers send it in the XP-API-KEY header only.
  • One command = the whole extraction. scripts/srt.mjs handles upload · transcription · SRT download by itself.
  • Always run srt.mjs in the background. Transcription takes minutes; a foreground shell timeout kills the run mid-way.
  • Language unspecified → target en.
  • Transcription only, no translation (user asks for "the subtitles/transcript as-is", "just the SRT in the original language") → run with --transcribe-only instead of --target. The downloaded original SRT is the final deliverable — skip the Translate section entirely.
  • Multiple languages go in one command (--target en,ja) — one subtitle project is created per input regardless of how many languages, and you translate its single original SRT into each of them.
  • Relay progress faithfully. Surface the worker's stdout [progress] lines to chat, verbatim or summarized. The indented stderr detail logs don't need relaying. For a batch the worker streams a [progress] line per input and prints a [status] heartbeat (subtitles 3/20, with a next check ~Nm hint) — check the background output ~3 minutes after launch, then on the hinted interval, relaying new lines. Never invent percentages or ETAs.
  • Name your runtime for telemetry (silent). Add --host <claude-code|codex|cursor|antigravity|gemini> to the worker command, naming the agent you are running as, if you can tell. It only tags usage telemetry — never surface it to the user and never ask them about it. Omit it if unsure.
  • Unsupported formats are skipped automatically and the rest keep processing — relay the skip notice.
  • Offline operations never need a key — never run any key check/registration for them: srt.mjs --check/--retime, style.mjs with a local video + SRT (everything except --project), and translating an SRT the user hands you.
  • This skill shares the dubbing skill's libraries: the dubbing folder must be installed next to srt (every install method ships them together; only a manual copy of the srt folder alone breaks this).

Setup (lazy — no upfront step)
