Vibe Skills

AI-powered agents that process your completed sessions on demand using your configured LLM backend (Claude, OpenAI, or a local endpoint).

vibe-distill

Distill

Deduplicates and consolidates extracted items from a session. Uses embedding-based clustering to cut 30–74% redundancy, producing clean knowledge artifacts ordered by actionability.

vibe-minutes

Meeting minutes

Generates structured minutes with attendees, key themes, per-topic narratives, all decisions, and action items with inferred owners — from a single session recording.

vibe-narrate

Narrate

Turns silent segments — 70–90% of coding sessions have no speech — into readable activity timelines using app-switch events and window change history.

vibe-speakers

Speaker ID

Resolves 'Unknown Speaker' labels in your transcript by cross-referencing Teams/Slack window titles, meeting frames, and conversational context.

Privacy and Local Data

VibeLogger is designed as local-first. Session assets and metadata stay on your machine.

FAQ

Is my data uploaded to a cloud service?

No by default. VibeLogger stores all media and session metadata locally under Application Support. Vibe Skills use an LLM you configure (Claude, OpenAI, or a local endpoint) — no data leaves your machine otherwise.

What are Vibe Skills?

Vibe Skills are AI-powered agents that process your completed sessions on demand. Run them from the terminal to distill key moments, generate meeting minutes, narrate silent segments, or resolve speaker identities — all using your configured LLM backend.

What does VibeLogger extract from sessions?

The app automatically identifies structured knowledge items from your transcript: ideas, tasks, decisions, lessons, questions, bugs, insights, and resources. Every item is tagged and full-text searchable.

Permission prompts don't appear after launch.

Open System Settings → Privacy & Security and manually enable Screen Recording, Microphone, and Speech Recognition for VibeLogger. Then relaunch the app.
