Gettr Transcribe + Summarize (MLX Whisper)

Quick start

# 1. Parse the slug from the URL (just read it — no script needed)
#    https://gettr.com/post/p1abc2def  → slug = p1abc2def
#    https://gettr.com/streaming/p3xyz → slug = p3xyz

# 2. Get the video URL
#    For /post/ URLs: use the extraction script
python3 scripts/extract_gettr_og_video.py "<GETTR_POST_URL>"

#    For /streaming/ URLs: use browser automation directly (extraction script is unreliable)
#    See Step 1 below for browser automation instructions

# 3. Run download + transcription pipeline
bash scripts/run_pipeline.sh "<VIDEO_URL>" "<SLUG>"

To explicitly set the transcription language (recommended for non-English content):

bash scripts/run_pipeline.sh --language zh "<VIDEO_URL>" "<SLUG>"

Common language codes: zh (Chinese), en (English), ja (Japanese), ko (Korean), es (Spanish), fr (French), de (German), ru (Russian).

This outputs:

• ./out/gettr-transcribe-summarize/<slug>/audio.wav
• ./out/gettr-transcribe-summarize/<slug>/audio.vtt

Then proceed to Step 3 (Summarize) to generate the final deliverable.

Workflow (GETTR URL → transcript → summary)

Inputs to confirm

Ask for:

• GETTR post URL
• Output format: bullets only or bullets + timestamped outline
• Summary size: short, medium (default), or detailed
• Language (optional): if the video is non-English and auto-detection fails, ask for the language code (e.g., zh for Chinese)

Notes:

• This skill does not handle authentication-gated GETTR posts.
• This skill does not translate; outputs stay in the video's original language.
• If transcription quality is poor or mixed with English, re-run with explicit --language flag.

Prereqs (local)

• mlx_whisper installed and on PATH
• ffmpeg installed (recommended: brew install ffmpeg)

Step 0 — Parse the slug and pick an output directory

Parse the slug directly from the GETTR URL — just read the last path segment, no script needed:

• https://gettr.com/post/p1abc2def → slug = p1abc2def
• https://gettr.com/streaming/p3xyz789 → slug = p3xyz789

Output directory: ./out/gettr-transcribe-summarize/<slug>/

Directory structure:

• ./out/gettr-transcribe-summarize/<slug>/audio.wav
• ./out/gettr-transcribe-summarize/<slug>/audio.vtt
• ./out/gettr-transcribe-summarize/<slug>/summary.md

Step 1 — Get the video URL

The approach depends on the URL type:

For /post/ URLs — Use the extraction script

Run the extraction script to get the video URL from the post HTML:

python3 scripts/extract_gettr_og_video.py "<GETTR_POST_URL>"

This prints the best candidate video URL (often an HLS .m3u8) to stdout.

If extraction fails, ask the user to provide the .m3u8/MP4 URL directly (common if the post is private/gated or the HTML is dynamic).

For /streaming/ URLs — Use browser automation directly
