podcast-show-notes-generator_skill

Overview

This skill generates timestamped show notes, concise episode summaries, key takeaways, cleaned transcripts, and multi-platform descriptions for podcast episodes. It turns raw audio or transcripts into publication-ready notes, guest bios, and repurposing assets. Use it to speed up publishing and improve discoverability.

How this skill works

The skill ingests a transcript or audio and cleans the text by adding speaker labels, removing filler words, and marking inaudible parts. It detects topic shifts to create accurate timestamps, extracts 3–5 high-value takeaways with supporting quotes, formats guest information, and outputs platform-specific descriptions and repurposing suggestions. It validates critical items like timestamps and guest names and flags issues such as missing transcripts or poor audio quality.

When to use it

• When you need publication-ready show notes for an episode
• When you want timestamped highlights for listeners or platforms
• When you need a cleaned, speaker-labeled transcript
• When preparing episode descriptions for Apple/Spotify/YouTube
• When repurposing episodes into social posts, audiograms, or a blog post

Best practices

• Provide episode metadata up front: show name, episode number, title, duration, hosts, guests
• Supply a transcript when possible; if only audio is available, run a reliable transcription service first
• Prioritize intro, guest intro, topic shifts, key insights, and CTAs when creating timestamps
• Include 3–5 concise takeaways with a headline, short explanation, and a direct quote
• Verify guest spellings and links before publishing; mark estimated timestamps clearly

Example use cases

• Create timestamped show notes and a cleaned transcript for a guest interview
• Generate Apple/Spotify/YouTube descriptions and hashtags for a new episode
• Produce 3 audiogram suggestions with clip timestamps for social promotion
• Summarize a long panel episode into 5 actionable takeaways and a short blog post
• Prepare a guest bio, resource list, and links to include in episode notes
