Fireflies SDK - Main Hub

Disclaimer: This is an unofficial, community-built open source SDK. It is NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with Fireflies.ai Inc. This project provides a TypeScript SDK and CLI that uses the publicly available Fireflies API.

Use this skill as the main entry point for Fireflies.ai operations. Routes to appropriate subcommands based on the task.

Available Subcommands

Command	Description
`/ff-transcripts`	List, get, analyze transcripts
`/ff-search`	Full-text search across transcripts
`/ff-insights`	Aggregate meeting analytics
`/ff-meetings`	Active meetings, add bot
`/ff-users`	User management
`/ff-bites`	Clips and soundbites
`/ff-ai-apps`	AI app outputs
`/ff-audio`	Upload audio files
`/ff-realtime`	Live transcription streaming
`/ff-export`	Export to markdown/JSON

Quick Examples

# List recent transcripts
npm exec --yes --package=fireflies-api -- fireflies-api transcripts list --limit 5

# Search transcripts
npm exec --yes --package=fireflies-api -- fireflies-api search "budget" --limit 10

# Get current user
npm exec --yes --package=fireflies-api -- fireflies-api users me

# Stream live transcription
npm exec --yes --package=fireflies-api -- fireflies-api realtime <meeting-id>

API Key

The FIREFLIES_API_KEY environment variable must be set before using any command.

Instructions

First, check prerequisites (API key and CLI availability):

test -n "$FIREFLIES_API_KEY" && echo "API key: OK" || echo "ERROR: Set FIREFLIES_API_KEY environment variable"

Run commands using npm exec --yes --package=fireflies-api -- fireflies-api <command>. The -y flag auto-installs the package if not present.
Based on the user's request, route to the appropriate subcommand or suggest a specific /ff-* skill.

CRITICAL Rules

DO NOT:

Run --help commands - this skill documents all available options
Invent options that aren't documented (e.g., --fields does not exist)
Use --from/--to when date shortcuts work (use --last-week not --from 2026-01-19 --to 2026-01-25)
Default to JSON output - use -o table or -o plain for human readability
Pipe to jq/grep to work around missing features - data you need may not exist in output
Try N+1 workarounds (looping get calls) - explain the limitation instead

DO:

Trust this skill documentation - it is authoritative
Use date shortcuts: --last-week, --last-month, --days N, --today, --yesterday
Always add -o table or -o plain unless user asks for JSON
Use --external to filter for meetings with external participants

Choosing the Right Command

User Intent	Best Command	Why
"List my meetings"	`transcripts list --mine`	Quick overview
"Meetings I participated in"	`transcripts list --participant-me`	Includes meetings I didn't organize
"Meetings with external participants"	`transcripts list --external`	Filters by domain
"Show meeting details"	`transcripts get <id>`	Full content for one meeting
"Find what was said about X"	`search "X"`	Efficient cross-transcript search
"Meeting statistics/analytics"	`insights`	Aggregated analytics, no N+1
"External participant analytics"	`insights --external`	Stats for external meetings
"All action items from last week"	`transcripts action-items export --last-week`	Bulk export
"Who talked most in meeting X"	`transcripts speakers <id>`	Speaker analytics

Output Format Guidance:

Default to human-readable formats (-o table or -o plain)
Only use -o json when user explicitly requests JSON output
