SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires mmx-cli, faster-whisper, librosa, transformers, torch, and includes references (resource) and scripts (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Agents waste context loading every utility manual when a task only needs one. This Skill acts as a router that matches a request to exactly one nested reference, so only the relevant procedure, scripts, and assets are loaded into working context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Nested Reference Catalog: Routes to self-contained references covering MiniMax media/TTS/vision CLI, local audio transcription and music analysis, image understanding, academic paper fetching and LaTeX writing, journal-inspired music composition, token/cost usage reports, standalone HTML deliverables, Xiaomi MiMo and Zhipu provider discovery, headless Telegram bot provisioning, idle curiosity practice, and read-only preset health checks.
  • Routing Table: A need-to-reference lookup table maps each request type to the exact nested SKILL.md to read.
  • Use Case: When asked to transcribe a voice note, the agent reads only the listen reference for local Whisper transcription instead of loading every utility manual.

Quick Start

Read the routing table in this Skill and load the single nested reference that matches the task at hand.

Frequently Asked Questions about swiss-knife

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I use the swiss-knife utility toolkit?

Match the request to one row in the routing table, then read only that nested reference's SKILL.md for the actual procedure. Do not load every nested reference; each child owns its own scripts and assets.

What tools does the swiss-knife skill route to?

It routes to nested references for MiniMax media/TTS/vision CLI, local Whisper transcription and librosa music analysis, image understanding, academic paper fetching and LaTeX writing, journal-based music composition, token usage reports, HTML deliverables, Xiaomi MiMo and Zhipu provider setup, headless Telegram bots, and preset health checks.

How do I transcribe audio without an API key?

Load the nested listen reference, which runs local Whisper transcription and librosa music analysis on the user's machine. Both run offline with no API key, using bundled Python scripts that auto-install dependencies on first run.

Can I fetch academic papers by DOI or arXiv ID?

Yes, the nested academic-research reference provides a fetch_paper.py script that accepts DOI, arXiv ID, or PMID and walks an open-access ladder from arXiv through Unpaywall, Europe PMC, and CORE to save the PDF and metadata.

When should I not load all nested references at once?

Never load every nested reference by default. The router exists to keep working context small, so read exactly one nested reference that matches the current need and follow its self-contained procedure.
