Ran its own real formatter end-to-end on a synthetic diarized transcript: correct 62%/38% talk-time math, clean speaker-ID section with sample quotes, then a working rename pass (Speaker 1/2 -> real names) -- genuinely better than a naive baseline render. Full ASR+diarization couldn't be exercised: it needs `uv` (not installed here) plus a free HuggingFace account and a 3-click gated-model consent flow before a ~3GB download even starts, exactly as SKILL.md itself discloses.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 7/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What Scriba does
Transcribes an audio/video meeting into an accurate, speaker-labeled Markdown transcript (Speaker 1/2/3) with embedded per-speaker voice clips, then renames speakers to real names on request. Triggers when the user drops an audio/video file and asks for a transcript, diarization, or 'who said what' (English or Russian).

- How do I install Scriba?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Scriba with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
