Yaps skills and plugins for AI agents
Voice, transcription, media, translation, and memory tools for your AI agent. Choose one focused skill or install the full set of 14. The tools use the Yaps app on your computer.
Yaps processes selected files with the engine installed on the same computer as the agent's command runner. A remote agent cannot reach your desktop installation through these local skills. Text or files the agent reads can enter that agent's own context.
Get started
- Download or open Yaps on the computer running the agent. Sign in inside Yaps and check your active free trial or Yaps Pro access. Yaps 2.3.124 or newer is needed for credential-safe account checks; Auto Cut needs 2.3.848 or newer.
- Install one skill for the job you want. The portable skills need Node.js 22 or newer on the agent host. They discover the helper inside the installed Yaps app, so no separate Yaps CLI, API key, or
PATHedit is needed. - Ask the agent to use Yaps for a specific task, such as "Transcribe this recording with Yaps". The skill checks the installed app, account, feature, and model before processing.
OpenClaw and ClawHub
Install a focused skill from the Yaps ClawHub publisher:
clawhub install @yaps/yaps-transcription
Replace yaps-transcription with another skill below. Install @yaps/yaps for the general Yaps skill. ClawHub also exposes these skills to Hermes as a community source.
To add the full catalog as one OpenClaw plugin bundle from the Yaps marketplace:
openclaw plugins install yaps-all --marketplace richawo/yaps-plugins --force --accept-capabilities
The bundle contains the same 14 standalone skills plus MCP tools. Review the repository before using --force, which confirms a third-party marketplace source. --accept-capabilities accepts the declared skills and tools.
Hermes Agent
Add Yaps as a skill source, then install the tool you need:
hermes skills tap add richawo/yaps-plugins
hermes skills install richawo/yaps-plugins/yaps-transcription
Start a new Hermes session and ask:
Use Yaps to transcribe this recording. Save the transcript beside the audio file.
Replace yaps-transcription with any skill in the catalog below. Use yapsfor the general skill. Hermes keeps its normal install confirmation andsecurity scan. See Hermes skillsfor updating or removing a skill.
For registered tools as well as skills, follow the native MCP setup.Ready-to-merge configurations cover Hermes and OpenCode. OpenClaw's yaps-allbundle includes the MCP configuration automatically.
Gemini CLI
Install the native extension for all 14 skills and registered media tools:
gemini extensions install https://github.com/richawo/yaps-plugins --ref main
Review and accept Gemini's install prompt, then start a new session. Ask:
Check Yaps, then create subtitles for this interview.
Install Yaps and sign inon the same computer. Gated features need an active free trial or Yaps Pro.The extension is free. Optional memory access needs Local MCP permission inYaps. See the setup guide for connection checks.
Cline
Follow the Cline installation guide to connect Yaps media tools.It uses Cline's normal tool approvals and the Yaps account already signed in onyour computer. Start with:
Check Yaps, then transcribe this recording and save the transcript beside it.
The connection is free. Gated features require an active Yaps free trial or YapsPro. You can also install individual skills using the table below.
OpenCode, Goose, Pi, and more agents
The skills CLI installs the same complete bundlesfor each supported agent. Run this inside the project where you use your agent:
npx skills add richawo/yaps-plugins --skill yaps-transcription --agent opencode
Replace opencode with the value for your agent:
| Agent | --agent value |
|---|---|
| OpenCode | opencode |
| Goose | goose |
| Pi | pi |
| Hermes Agent | hermes-agent |
| OpenClaw | openclaw |
| Gemini CLI | gemini-cli |
| Cline | cline |
| Kilo Code | kilo |
| Qwen Code | qwen-code |
| Mistral Vibe | mistral-vibe |
| Amp | amp |
| GitHub Copilot | github-copilot |
| Cursor | cursor |
| Claude Code | claude-code |
| Codex | codex |
To install all 14 skills, replace --skill yaps-transcription with --skill '*'.Add --global to make them available across projects.To browse before installing, run npx skills add richawo/yaps-plugins --list.
Verified on 24 September 2026: all 14 skills installed into fresh projectfolders for every agent above using [email protected]. All installed files matchedthe published catalog and the runtime modules loaded. Hermes 0.21.5 alsoinstalled all 14 through its own CLI and security scanner.
These checks cover installation and package loading. They do not establishend-to-end task success in every agent or approval in each agent's own marketplace.Each standalone skill includes its runtime and can work independently.
Cursor Marketplace and Grok Bot
The separate Yaps Cursor and Grok Bot plugincontains the same focused skills plus MCP tools. Follow that repository's setupguide for local-computer execution. A public plugin repository is available;a searchable marketplace listing has not yet been verified.

yaps-toolkit is the Claude directory edition. It bundles 11 focused skillswithout image generation, speech synthesis, the general-purpose skill, or thefull media MCP server. The separate yaps-all bundle contains the full toolkit.Publication in this Yaps marketplace does not mean acceptance into Anthropic'sdirectory. Both new packages target local Claude Code; Cowork compatibility hasnot been verified.
Requirements and access
- The Yaps desktop app installed on macOS or Windows (Linux via the official deb/rpm package). Yaps 2.3.124 or newer is required for credential-free account checks.
- A local-capable agent session. No separate Yaps CLI install,
PATHedit, or API key is needed: each plugin or skill discovers the CLI bundled inside the installed Yaps app and verifies it with a bounded, read-only status check before use. - A Yaps free trial or Yaps Pro for the gated features. The plugins detect your account state automatically and explain exactly what to do if something is missing.
How it works
Each skill teaches your agent when and how to run a Yaps workflow through the locally installed Yaps CLI. File access follows your agent's normal permissions for reading inputs and writing results.
yaps-memory additionally ships an MCP server that connects Claude to your private local Markdown vault. It starts read-only; vault writes are opt-in under Yaps → Settings → Agent Access.
Privacy
Processing happens on your device through the Yaps app. See the Yaps privacy policy and terms.
