podcast-workflow

Use this Claude Code skill to turn scripts into single-voice narration or multi-speaker podcast audio through ElevenLabs, including character-level timing for karaoke-style subtitles. Its cookbook focuses on practical Chinese pronunciation, pacing, emotion tags, chunking, MP3 merging, and browser synchronization issues. An ElevenLabs account and API key are required, and ffmpeg is needed for dialogue assembly and multi-chunk merging.

Send one or more common audio or video files to Claude Code and receive structured Markdown with detected language, estimated duration, topics, 4–15-second timestamped segments, speaker labels, and uncertainty notes. Processing can run in parallel and supports combined or JSON output, but it requires a Gemini API key and uses generic speaker numbers.

This skill turns saved articles or RSS items into a produced Spotify episode: it writes a segmented script, renders Qwen3-TTS with a reference voice, pads chapter silences, creates cover and description assets, and uploads through the authenticated save-to-spotify CLI. It targets Apple Silicon with Python and ffmpeg, supports scheduled runs, and can optionally publish an R2 web feed.

Audiobookshelf organizes a personal audiobook and podcast library on your own server, with multi-user permissions, progress syncing, podcast search and automatic episode downloads, metadata fetching, and daily backups. Content can be streamed through the web app, PWA, and beta mobile clients. Library folder structure and naming conventions matter for accurate detection, and reverse-proxy deployments require WebSocket support.
