    About This Skill

    SoundTag AI -Listens & Renames Your Sound Files

    What it does

    This skill solves the problem of messy, auto-generated audio filenames like audio_track_v2_final_99.wav. It analyzes the actual content of sound files and renames them with human-readable, descriptive titles such as ElevenLabs_2024-07-21T15_43_56_George_pre_s50_sb75_se0_b_m2.mp3 → Elevenlabs_George_Voice_Speech.mp3 or Bright_Trumpet_Fanfare.wav or Large_Crowd_Cheering.mp3.

    Supported tools

    • Local ML (AST): Uses the MIT Audio Spectrogram Transformer to classify sounds into 527 categories (Speech, Music, Explosion, etc.) entirely offline.
    • Google Gemini API: Leverages advanced multimodal AI for nuanced descriptions of cinematic SFX, moods, and complex textures.
    • Batch Processing: Supports .wav, .mp3, .ogg, .flac, .aac, .m4a, and more.

    Why use this skill

    Unlike simple prompting, this skill implements a sophisticated two-step workflow. It first attempts a high-speed local classification to save on API costs and privacy. For ambiguous sounds, it provides a structured "improvement pass" using Gemini. It intelligently combines ML labels with hidden hints from the original filename to ensure context is never lost. It handles environment constraints automatically, including specific dependency versions (Torch/Transformers) to fit within sandboxed resource limits.

    Output

    The result is a clean, organized directory where every sound file follows a consistent Title_Case_With_Underscores naming convention, making your sample libraries and field recordings instantly searchable.

    Use Cases

    • Identify specific instruments to rename generic music project tracks
    • Convert cryptic field recording names into descriptive environmental labels
    • Organize voiceover exports by speaker name and performance style
    • Batch-process sound effect libraries using AI-generated content tags

    File Scopes

    describe-rename-sound-files/**

    Requirements: Python 3 (free from python.org - skill downloads it automatically if needed), 500 MB disk space, internet for first-time setup only, or if Gemini overkill solution is selected.

    Works on Mac and Windows. Supports MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, AAC, M4A, OPUS, and WMA. The AI model downloads automatically on first run (~350 MB, one time), then everything runs 100% offline on your computer. No subscriptions, no API keys (except if you want to improve further with the overkill Gemini solution), no cloud — buy once, use forever. Perfect for music producers, sound designers, podcasters, creators, youtubers, game developers, and anyone with a folder full of unreadable audio filenames from Elevenlabs etc.
