plaud-transcript-skill

An unofficial skill for extracting raw, speaker-attributed transcripts from Plaud AI recordings and generating structured meeting notes. Works with Claude in Cowork, Chat, and Claude Code.

Plaud Note devices produce excellent recordings, but the web app primarily surfaces AI-generated summaries. This skill gives you the full verbatim transcript with speaker labels and timestamps, which you can use to create detailed meeting notes, search for specific discussions, or feed into other workflows.

The Plaud web app at web.plaud.ai uses a REST API under the hood. This skill's Python client talks to that same API using a Bearer token from your logged-in session. No unofficial modifications or hacking required -- it simply makes the same API calls your browser makes.

• A Plaud account with recordings synced to web.plaud.ai
• Python 3.8+
• The requests library (pip install requests)

1. Open web.plaud.ai and log in
2. Open browser DevTools (F12 or Cmd+Option+I on Mac)
3. Go to the Console tab
4. Run: localStorage.getItem('tokenstr')
5. Copy the full value (it starts with bearer eyJ...)

export PLAUD_TOKEN="bearer eyJ..."

For persistence, add it to your shell profile:

echo 'export PLAUD_TOKEN="bearer eyJ..."' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

> Security note: The token is long-lived (~10 months) and grants full access to your Plaud recordings. Treat it like a password. Never commit it to version control.

Copy the skill folder into your Claude skills directory:

cp -r plaud-transcript ~/.claude/skills/plaud-transcript

Once installed, Claude will automatically use this skill when you mention Plaud recordings or ask for meeting transcripts.
