HiDockSkill-Claude

AI agent skill that teaches Claude Code and OpenClaw how to operate HiDockSkill — syncing recordings from HiDock P1, transcribing with Whisper, and browsing your meeting galaxy.

What This Is

This is an agent skill (not a standalone app). It provides AI agents with the knowledge and wrapper scripts to operate the HiDockSkill CLI on your behalf.

Say "HiDock" and your agent opens the galaxy dashboard. Say "sync HiDock" and it syncs your latest recordings.

Prerequisites

• HiDockSkill installed and built (npm install && npm run build)
• Node.js and npm
• OPENAI_API_KEY set in environment or in HiDockSkill's .env
• HiDock P1 device (for sync/watch — not needed for dashboard)

Installation

Claude Code

git clone https://github.com/build-hidock/HiDockSkill-Claude ~/.claude/skills/hidock-skill

OpenClaw

git clone https://github.com/build-hidock/HiDockSkill-Claude ~/.openclaw/skills/hidock-skill

Or symlink if you already have it cloned:

ln -s /path/to/HiDockSkill-Claude ~/.openclaw/skills/hidock-skill

Set HiDockSkill location

Point the skill to your HiDockSkill install:

export HIDOCK_SKILL_DIR=/path/to/HiDockSkill

Or the skill will auto-detect it if it's in a standard location.

Commands

Say this	What happens
"HiDock"	Opens the galaxy dashboard (no device needed)
"sync HiDock" / "sync my meetings"	Syncs new recordings from device
"check HiDock"	Lists files on device without syncing
"start watching"	Starts USB watcher with auto-sync
"HiDock status"	Shows watcher/sync process status
"stop watching"	Stops the USB watcher

How It Works

1. "HiDock" (bare) — Runs open-galaxy.sh, which starts the galaxy server (if not running) and opens the browser. No device or API key required.

2. Sync/watch commands — The skill first runs detect-device.sh to verify the P1 is connected (instant, never hangs), then check-hidock-ready.sh for pre-flight checks (node, npm, API key), then executes the requested action.

3. Galaxy dashboard — After sync, the web page auto-refreshes from a "Syncing HiDock device" animation to the full galaxy visualization with your meeting notes.
