Voice Notes

What This Skill Does

The Voice Notes skill transforms your unstructured spoken thoughts into a highly organized, searchable local knowledge base. It acts as an intelligent librarian for your voice transcripts, ensuring that every idea, task, or realization captured while on the move is indexed, tagged, and linked to relevant existing information. By maintaining a strict file-based directory structure at ~/voice-notes/, it provides a persistent and private repository that grows with you without ever relying on cloud services or external API calls.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw agent, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ivangdavila/voice-notes

Ensure you have initialized the required directory structure on your system: mkdir -p ~/voice-notes/{transcripts,notes,archive}

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for professionals who process information through speech. Common use cases include:

• Brainstorming sessions: Capture rapid-fire creative ideas while walking or driving, which the agent then organizes into coherent project notes.
• Meeting recaps: Summarize verbal meeting notes into action items and linked documentation.
• Personal Knowledge Management (PKM): Build a scalable "Second Brain" where voice-to-text inputs are automatically linked to previous project tags or research notes.
• Research synthesis: Keep track of academic or professional research by cataloging verbal observations and linking them to existing source material.

Example Prompts

1. "I just finished a brainstorming session about the new marketing campaign. I'm going to send the transcript now; please tag it under 'marketing' and 'q3-planning' and link it to the project roadmap note."
2. "Search my notes for anything related to 'API architecture' and add this new point about authentication to the existing document."
3. "I have a new idea for the library project. Summarize this transcript and create a new linked note if it doesn't overlap with existing project data."

Tips & Limitations

• Tip: Keep your memory.md file updated to help the agent understand your preferred tag hierarchy.
• Tip: Use specific keywords in your voice recordings to help the agent identify relationships between topics more effectively.
• Limitation: The skill is strictly text-based and relies on your platform's existing Speech-to-Text (STT) capabilities. It does not process audio files directly.
• Limitation: The skill is designed for local-first storage. It does not synchronize automatically with cloud note-taking apps.
