WiseSquid
WiseSquid
A terminal-based Claude Code tool that handles the tedious parts of podcast publishing. Transcription, quote extraction, social assets, audiograms, and guest guides — without a subscription.
Fork it. Configure it. Run it. Built for Substack podcasters who'd rather own their pipeline.
Upload audio and a guest photo. The tool generates an OG image, 3 quote cards, 3 story images, and 3 audiograms — all branded to your podcast, automatically.
Animated waveforms, synced subtitles, your branding. Each audiogram is a ready-to-share video clip featuring your guest's best moments — rendered locally with FFmpeg.
One link. Your guest gets downloadable assets, ready-to-post social copy, and video clips — everything they need to share the episode with their audience.
Every episode launch is the same grind: transcribe the audio, hunt for quotable moments, manually create social graphics, fill out metadata fields, build audiograms, write a guest guide...
That's 2–4 hours per episode you could spend on what actually matters: making your next episode even better.
Most podcast tools are GUIs you pay for. WiseSquid is a terminal tool you own. It splits work by who's better at it.
10 focused commands handle the mechanical work: upload files, call Deepgram, run Playwright, encode audiograms with FFmpeg, push assets to Cloudflare R2. Each command does one thing. Each is independently tested.
Quote selection, guide copy, metadata review — the parts that require taste. The agent reads context, makes calls, asks when uncertain. You stay in the loop on decisions that matter.
One file encodes the full publish workflow. Point Claude Code at a fresh clone and it walks you through config, API keys, and your first episode end-to-end. No documentation to chase down.
The 10 CLIs
Word-level timestamps powered by Deepgram. Accurate enough to pull precise audio clips for audiograms without manual trimming.
Claude surfaces the moments worth sharing — short punchy quotes for graphics, longer clips for audiograms. You pick the winners.
Quote cards, story images, and audiograms with animated waveforms and synced subtitles. Generated locally in under 90 seconds.
Every field Substack accepts, filled out properly. Episode titles, descriptions, tags, slugs — the stuff that drives discoverability.
Beautiful HTML guides hosted on R2 with all the assets and copy your guests need to share their episode. No back-and-forth emails.
Configure your podcast identity once. Every asset — images, audiograms, guides — renders with your colors, fonts, and logo.
