$npx skills add ArtemXTech/personal-os-skills --skill granola

The open skills CLI detects your agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ more) and installs to the right folder. Add -g to install globally.

01

Install it

Run the command above, or upload the folder in Claude.

02

Ask naturally

Describe the task. Your agent loads granola when the request matches its description.

Granola Skill

Query and sync Granola AI meeting notes to Obsidian vault.

How It Works

Granola stores everything locally at ~/Library/Application Support/Granola/cache-v3.json:

  • Documents (meetings with title, notes, people)
  • Transcripts (real-time, with timestamps and source)
  • Updates in real-time as you record

No API calls needed - reads directly from local cache.

Quick Start

# List all meetings
python3 .claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py list

# Get specific meeting with transcript
python3 .claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py get <id>

# Sync new meetings to vault
python3 .claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py sync

# Sync specific meeting
python3 .claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py sync --id <id>

Commands

list

List all Granola meetings with sync status.

python3 .claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py list
python3 .claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py list --limit 5

Output:

[✓] 2026-01-09  Team Sync - Weekly
    ID: abc123...
    Transcript: 450 segments, ~86 min

[ ] 2026-01-10  Team Standup
    ID: def456...
    Transcript: 120 segments, ~15 min
  • [✓] = already synced to vault
  • [ ] = not synced yet

get

View full meeting details and transcript.

python3 .claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py get <id>
python3 .claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py get <id> --no-transcript

sync

Sync meetings to Meetings/ as structured Markdown.

# Sync new meetings only
python3 .claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py sync

# Sync specific meeting
python3 .claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py sync --id <id>

# Re-sync all (overwrites existing)
python3 .claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py sync --all

Output Format

Synced meetings are saved to Meetings/ with this structure:

---
type: granola-meeting
date: 2026-01-09
time: "19:30"
duration_min: 86
granola_id: abc123...
people:

# Meeting Title

## Notes

(Your notes from Granola)

## Transcript

[19:30:45] 🎤 Hey, how's it going?
[19:30:48] 🎤 Great to meet you...

Transcript icons:

  • 🎤 = microphone (you)
  • 🔊 = system audio (others on call)

Workflow

  1. Record meeting in Granola (real-time transcription)
  2. Sync to vault: python3 .claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py sync
  3. Process meeting: Extract action items, update people notes
  4. Mark as processed: Change status: raw to status: processed

Querying with Bases

Use Granola.base to query synced meetings:

Data Structure

Local cache: ~/Library/Application Support/Granola/cache-v3.json

cache (JSON string) → state →
  ├── documents: {id: {title, notes_plain, notes_markdown, people, created_at}}
  └── transcripts: {id: [{text, source, start_timestamp, end_timestamp}]}

Transcript segment:

{
  "text": "Hey, how's it going?",
  "source": "microphone",
  "start_timestamp": "2026-01-09T19:30:45.123Z",
  "end_timestamp": "2026-01-09T19:30:48.456Z"
}

Tips

  • Real-time access: Cache updates as you record - can query mid-meeting
  • Free tier hack: Sync hourly to bypass 7-day history limit
  • No auth needed: Uses local files, not API

Tips for Granola

  • • Start a fresh session after installing so your agent picks up the new skill.
  • • This skill ships scripts. Read them before the first run, and run it in a project without secrets first.
  • • It bundles reference files. The agent reads them only when needed, so they cost no context until then.
  • • It is part of a pack with 8 skills. Install only the ones you need with --skill to keep triggers precise.
  • • If two skills overlap, mention the one you want by name.
