    Podcast Generate

    Generate podcast episodes from user-provided content or by searching the web for specified topics. If user uploads a text file/article, creates a dual-host dialogue podcast (or single-host upon request). If no content is provided, searches the web for information about the user-specified topic and generates a podcast. Duration scales with content size (3-20 minutes, ~240 chars/min). Uses z-ai-web-dev-sdk for LLM script generation and TTS audio synthesis. Outputs both a podcast script (Markdown) and a complete audio file (WAV).

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 180 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 3

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Use this skill for any task where a PDF is the primary input or output.

    line 8
  2. Distinctive:

    Use the most reliable available tool:

    line 15
  3. Distinctive:

    Ask before installing dependencies or running OCR over large documents.

    line 27

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 180 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

PDF

Use this skill for any task where a PDF is the primary input or output.

Workflow

  1. Identify the PDF operation: read, extract, OCR, split, merge, rotate, watermark, redact, fill forms, encrypt/decrypt, or create.
  2. Preserve originals. Write outputs with explicit names.
  3. Use the most reliable available tool:
    • pdftotext, pdfinfo, qpdf, or mutool through bash when installed (the built-in read tool does not extract text from a PDF)
    • Python libraries such as pypdf, pdfplumber, PyMuPDF, or reportlab when available
    • OCR tools only for scanned pages
  4. For extraction, report page coverage and note when layout, tables, or OCR quality may affect accuracy.
  5. For generated or modified PDFs, verify page count, text extraction where possible, and file size. For redaction, confirm removed text is not extractable from the output.

Ask before installing dependencies or running OCR over large documents. Do not represent a visually scanned PDF as fully accurate text unless OCR quality has been checked.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
