# AGENTS.md — Build guide for Bluedot ## Project scope Import a consented meeting recording, correct transcript speakers, generate a compact summary and manually approve CRM-style follow-up notes. Catalogue verdict: kinda. The visible meeting recorder loop is buildable, but a credible replacement needs more than the first screen. Bluedot earns its keep through capture, integrations, reliability, so expect a weekend or multi-day build and a narrower personal scope. Use the implementation prompt below to define the deliverable. Complete each phase's acceptance checks before extending the scope. ## Working agreement - Inspect the repository and its existing instructions before choosing paths, dependencies or commands. Keep one coherent stack and explain changes to the proposed architecture. - Plan a vertical slice that accepts a real input and produces the useful output described below. Persist only the state the prompt calls for; respect memory-only and upstream-managed workflows. Use fixtures only when they are clearly labelled. - After scaffolding, document the actual install, development, check and build commands in README and keep them synchronized with the package or project manifest. Do not report commands as successful unless they ran. - Work in small steps. At handoff, list implemented flows, checks actually performed, remaining blockers, and any credentials or provider setup the owner must supply. - Do not publish, spend money, contact customers, delete source data or run irreversible migrations without the project owner's authorization. ## Prerequisites - Runtime and tools: Python, FastAPI, SQLite, FFmpeg and a local faster-whisper worker with a React transcript editor. - Before starting: An installed speech model, adequate local disk space and a recording made with participant permission; any optional hosted model needs a separately disclosed API key. ## Stack and architecture - Python, FastAPI, SQLite, FFmpeg and a local faster-whisper worker with a React transcript editor - Data design: Store Meeting, AudioSource, Segment, SpeakerAlias, SummaryRevision and FollowUp; every extracted commitment points to a segment and unspoken owners/dates stay unset. - Setup: An installed speech model, adequate local disk space and a recording made with participant permission; any optional hosted model needs a separately disclosed API key ## Security and data integrity - Keep original timing alongside corrected text. Speech recognition does not itself establish speaker identity; permit manual speaker labels. Show undecodable audio and uncertain passages without inventing words. - Start with uploaded audio; live system recording varies by platform. Audio sent to an optional cloud summarizer is not local-only, and speaker recognition accuracy is not guaranteed. - Keep secrets outside client bundles and exported projects; document what leaves the device and make retention/deletion controls visible. ## Agent implementation rules - Project rule — domain: Store Meeting, AudioSource, Segment, SpeakerAlias, SummaryRevision and FollowUp; every extracted commitment points to a segment and unspoken owners/dates stay unset. - Project rule — scope and recovery: Start with uploaded audio; live system recording varies by platform. Audio sent to an optional cloud summarizer is not local-only, and speaker recognition accuracy is not guaranteed. - Project rule — acceptance: Use a recording saying 'someone should follow up'; the output must leave the owner unknown, link the quote and preserve the corrected speaker labels after regeneration. - Project rule — delivery: document real setup commands and permissions; do not claim a build, accuracy level, performance result or security certification that has not been demonstrated. ## Optional agent skills and references - Recommended skill: [modern-python](https://github.com/trailofbits/skills/blob/main/plugins/modern-python/skills/modern-python/SKILL.md) — structure the Python worker or explicitly optional read-only utility with pinned dependencies, typed boundaries and clear failure handling. Follow the maintainer's installation instructions and match its requirements to the chosen runtime. - Recommended skill: [web-design-guidelines](https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-skills/blob/main/skills/web-design-guidelines/SKILL.md) — review keyboard access, focus, validation, error recovery and the readable work/review interface or HTML report. Follow the maintainer's installation instructions and match its requirements to the chosen runtime. Read the linked SKILL.md and its dependencies before adding a skill. Select only the skills matching this project's runtime and task; their documentation does not supply API access, credentials or approval to perform external actions. Pin the reviewed revision where the tool supports it. Follow the chosen agent's documented project-level installation mechanism. ## Distribution ideas These are optional planning notes. Obtain the owner's approval before publishing or contacting anyone. - Demonstrate this working slice using synthetic or explicitly authorized non-sensitive examples: Import a consented meeting recording, correct transcript speakers, generate a compact summary and manually approve CRM-style follow-up notes. - Share a synthetic example export and the acceptance walkthrough; keep real customer, health, financial and source data private: Use a recording saying 'someone should follow up'; the output must leave the owner unknown, link the quote and preserve the corrected speaker labels after regeneration. - State the limits before asking someone to replace their existing tool: Start with uploaded audio; live system recording varies by platform. Audio sent to an optional cloud summarizer is not local-only, and speaker recognition accuracy is not guaranteed. ## Engineering roadmap 1. Phase 1 — Pin the working slice and create its example input: Import a consented meeting recording, correct transcript speakers, generate a compact summary and manually approve CRM-style follow-up notes. Confirm setup: An installed speech model, adequate local disk space and a recording made with participant permission; any optional hosted model needs a separately disclosed API key. 2. Phase 2 — Implement persistence and write-time invariants before decorating the UI: Store Meeting, AudioSource, Segment, SpeakerAlias, SummaryRevision and FollowUp; every extracted commitment points to a segment and unspoken owners/dates stay unset. 3. Phase 3 — Connect the working view to real saved state. Keep original timing alongside corrected text. Speech recognition does not itself establish speaker identity; permit manual speaker labels. Show undecodable audio and uncertain passages without inventing words. 4. Phase 4 — Expose the app-specific limits and recovery path in context: Start with uploaded audio; live system recording varies by platform. Audio sent to an optional cloud summarizer is not local-only, and speaker recognition accuracy is not guaranteed. 5. Phase 5 — Walk through this concrete acceptance case and preserve its exported evidence: Use a recording saying 'someone should follow up'; the output must leave the owner unknown, link the quote and preserve the corrected speaker labels after regeneration. Finish the README and backup/restore instructions; report unfinished capabilities explicitly. ## Paid-product capabilities outside this build - cross-call team analytics - meeting-bot auto-join - live multi-speaker accuracy - calendar and CRM integrations ## Implementation prompt Build the following focused alternative to Bluedot. This is a deliberately limited personal or small-team substitute, not parity with the paid service. WORKING SLICE Import a consented meeting recording, correct transcript speakers, generate a compact summary and manually approve CRM-style follow-up notes. SETUP AND ARCHITECTURE Use Python, FastAPI, SQLite, FFmpeg and a local faster-whisper worker with a React transcript editor. Prerequisites: An installed speech model, adequate local disk space and a recording made with participant permission; any optional hosted model needs a separately disclosed API key. Before integrating anything, record actual versions and permissions, plus model files or provider limits only where used, in the README; make unavailable dependencies visible rather than simulating success. DOMAIN MODEL AND INVARIANTS Store Meeting, AudioSource, Segment, SpeakerAlias, SummaryRevision and FollowUp; every extracted commitment points to a segment and unspoken owners/dates stay unset. IMPLEMENTATION CONTRACT Keep original timing alongside corrected text. Speech recognition does not itself establish speaker identity; permit manual speaker labels. Show undecodable audio and uncertain passages without inventing words. Provide an input/setup view, the main work view, and a review/export view appropriate to this workflow. Preserve the last saved state if a job or save fails. Include empty, loading, permission-denied, partial and retryable-error states. Log identifiers and error categories without secret values or unnecessary private content. APP-SPECIFIC BOUNDARY AND RECOVERY Start with uploaded audio; live system recording varies by platform. Audio sent to an optional cloud summarizer is not local-only, and speaker recognition accuracy is not guaranteed. ACCEPTANCE SCENARIO Use a recording saying 'someone should follow up'; the output must leave the owner unknown, link the quote and preserve the corrected speaker labels after regeneration. Also reopen the app after an interrupted operation, confirm the saved record/export remains inspectable, and document the recovery action. These are implementation acceptance requirements, not a claim that this guide has been tested. DELIVERY Deliver a runnable repository with migrations or project-format versioning, a non-sensitive example, environment/permission setup, the exact manual acceptance steps, and a backup/export-and-restore walkthrough. Implement the working slice before optional integrations; list any deferred paid-product capabilities honestly. Do not add capabilities outside the working slice just to resemble the original product. PROJECT RULES FOR AGENTS.md Keep the domain invariants above executable at the write boundary. Propose scope changes before adding providers or permissions. Never fabricate source evidence, publish results, identity matches or successful delivery. Preserve user originals and require an explicit confirmation for destructive changes or external publication. ## Completion evidence Demonstrate the prompt's acceptance scenarios against the scoped workflow. Include setup from a clean checkout and failure recovery. Check persistence across restart and export/restore only for the state the prompt says to store; for memory-only tools, confirm that temporary content is discarded as specified. Record actual results and remaining limitations. A detailed plan alone does not establish a working replacement.
