2 things to look at

  • no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
  • 5 stars5 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Workflow

  • Process transcript or audio

Instructions

Step 1: Episode Information Gathering

Collect episode details: show name, episode number, title, duration, host(s), guest(s), episode type (solo/interview/panel), and source material (audio, video, transcript).

Step 2: Transcript Processing

Step 3: Timestamp Creation

PlatformFormatExample
YouTubeHH:MM:SS01:23:45
Apple PodcastsMM:SS23:45
SpotifyMM:SS23:45
Show notes[MM:SS][23:45]

What to timestamp (priority order):

  1. Episode intro (required)
  2. Guest introduction (required)
  3. Major topic shifts (required)
  4. Key insights/quotes (high)
  5. Actionable advice (high)
  6. Resource mentions (medium)
  7. Outro/CTA (required)

Step 4: Key Takeaways

Extract 3-5 takeaways with:

  • Headline summarizing the insight
  • 2-3 sentence explanation
  • Direct quote from episode

Include: Actionable advice, unique insights, memorable quotes, data/statistics Exclude: Small talk, common knowledge, rambling explanations

Step 5: Guest Information

Create guest bio with: name, title, company, website, 2-3 sentence authority statement, and social links (Twitter, LinkedIn, website, book/product).

Extract resources mentioned: books, tools, people, websites/articles.

Step 6: Multi-Platform Output

Generate platform-specific descriptions for:

  • Apple Podcasts (4000 char limit)
  • Spotify (concise with emojis)
  • YouTube (SEO-optimized with hashtags)

See examples/platform-templates.md for full templates.

Step 7: Content Repurposing

Create additional content:

  • Blog post: SEO-optimized written version
  • Social clips: 3 audiogram suggestions with timestamps
  • Social posts: Twitter thread, LinkedIn post, Instagram caption
  • Newsletter: Episode announcement email

See examples/repurposing-templates.md for full templates.

Error Handling

  • No transcript provided: Recommend transcription services (Descript, Otter.ai, Rev).

  • No guest info: Search for guest online; ask for bio and links.
  • Episode too long: Prioritize top 5-7 timestamps; summarize rather than exhaustive.
  • Missing timestamps from source: Estimate based on topic flow; note as approximate.
