· WORKFLOW TEMPLATES
Each template is a concrete Talkie workflow pattern with a readable recipe page and a JSON file that shows the trigger, variables, steps, and privacy boundary.
Local by default
Capture, files, clipboard, and shell steps start on your Mac.
Composable steps
Dictate, LLM, shell, file, email, webhook, and notification steps can be stacked.
Agent-readable
Templates expose predictable variables for CLI and coding-agent workflows.
· TEMPLATE LIBRARY
Dictate · LLM · Clipboard
Speak a rough prompt, tighten it, and copy the result for Claude or another coding agent.
Best for
prompt cleanup, agent handoff, voice-first coding
Capture and clipboard stay local. The model step can use Claude or Local MLX.
Dictate · LLM · Mail
Talk through a reply and open a polished draft in Mail.app without sending automatically.
Best for
email drafts, follow-ups, review-before-send workflows
The draft opens on your Mac. External LLM use is optional and configurable.
Memo · LLM · Save
Record a messy thought, distill it, and save Markdown into an Obsidian vault alias.
Best for
knowledge capture, local notes, Markdown archives
Files land in your own vault path. Use Local MLX if the distill step should stay on device.
Memo · Compose · Diff
Keep the raw memo and create a tighter second pass beside it for comparison.
Best for
drafting, editing, preserving original phrasing
The original and revision stay side by side in your local library or draft folder.
Capture · CLI · Claude
Capture a thought by voice, pull it later from the terminal, and hand it to an agent.
Best for
agent context, terminal workflows, deferred ideas
The captured idea queues locally. The CLI handoff happens when you choose to run it.
Dictate · Shell · GitHub
Describe a bug while details are fresh, structure it, and open a GitHub issue with gh.
Best for
developer teams, issue triage, reproducible bug reports
Shell execution is allowlisted and reviewable. The GitHub call only runs when configured.
· WHY TEMPLATES HELP
The page explains the workflow in human terms. The JSON gives directories, integration pages, and agent indexes a stable artifact to inspect and cite.
Each template names what stays local and what only leaves the Mac when you configure an outside provider.
Recipes use explicit variables like {{TRANSCRIPT}}, {{TITLE}}, and {{LAST_OUTPUT}} so terminal tools can compose with them.
Coding agents can read the JSON shape before asking Talkie for recent memos, searches, or workflow runs.
