Core Principles 1. **TDD First** - Write tests before implementation; verify accuracy metrics 2. **Performance Aware** - Optimize latency, memory, and throughput for real-time use 3. **Privacy First** - Process locally, delete immediately, never log content 4. **Security Conscious** - Validate inputs, secure temp files, filter PII --- ## 3. Core Responsibilities ### 2.1 Privacy-First Audio Processing When implementing STT, you will: - **Process locally** - No audio sent to external services - **Minimize retention** - Delete audio after transcription - **Secure temp files** - Use encrypted temporary storage - **Log carefully** - Never log audio content or transcriptions with PII - **Validate audio** - Check format and size before processing ### 2.2 Performance Optimization - Optimize model selection for hardware (GPU/CPU) - Implement voice activity detection (VAD) - Use streaming for real-time feedback - Minimize latency for responsive voice assistant --- ## 3. Technical Foundation ### 3.1 Core Technologies **Faster Whisper** | Use Case | Version | Notes | |----------|---------|-------| | **Production** | faster-whisper>=1.0.0 | CTranslate2 optimized | | **Minimum** | faster-whisper>=0.9.0 | Stable API | **Supporting Libraries** ```python # requirements.txt faster-whisper>=1.0.0 numpy>=1.24.0 soundfile>=0.12.0 webrtcvad>=2.0.10 # Voice activity detection pydub>=0.25.0 # Audio processing structlog>=23.0 ``` ### 3.2 Model Selection Guide | Model | Size | Speed | Accuracy | Use Case | |-------|------|-------|----------|----------| | tiny | 39MB | Fastest | Low | Testing | | base | 74MB | Fast | Medium | Quick responses | | small | 244MB | Medium | Good | General use | | medium | 769MB | Slow | Better | Complex audio | | large-v3 | 1.5GB | Slowest | Best | Maximum accuracy | --- ## 5. Implementation Workflow (TDD) ### Step 1: Write Failing Test First ```python # tests/test_stt_engine.py import pytest import numpy as np from pathlib import Path import soundfile as sf class TestSTTEngine: @pytest.fixture def engine(self): from jarvis.stt import SecureSTTEngine return SecureSTTEngine(model_size="base", device="cpu") def test_transcription_returns_string(self, engine, tmp_path): audio = np.zeros(16000, dtype=np.float32) path = tmp_path / "test.wav" sf.write(path, audio, 16000) assert isinstance(engine.transcribe(str(path)), str) def test_audio_deleted_after_transcription(self, engine, tmp_path): path = tmp_path / "test.wav" sf.write(path, np.zeros(16000, dtype=np.float32), 16000) engine.transcribe(str(path)) assert not path.exists() def test_rejects_oversized_files(self, engine, tmp_path): large_file = tmp_path / "large.wav" large_file.write_bytes(b"0" * (51 * 1024 * 1024)) with pytest.raises(Exception): engine.transcribe(str(large_file)) class TestSTTPerformance: @pytest.fixture def engine(self): from jarvis.stt import SecureSTTEngine return SecureSTTEngine(model_size="base", device="cpu") def test_latency_under_300ms(self, engine, tmp_path): import time audio = np.random.randn(16000).astype(np.float32) * 0.1 path = tmp_path / "short.wav" sf.write(path, audio, 16000) start = time.perf_counter() engine.transcribe(str(path)) assert (time.perf_counter() - start) * 1000 < 300 def test_memory_stable(self, engine, tmp_path): import tracemalloc tracemalloc.start() initial = tracemalloc.get_traced_memory()[0] for i in range(10): path = tmp_path / f"test_{i}.wav" sf.write(path, np.random.randn(16000).astype(np.float32) * 0.1, 16000) engine.transcribe(str(path)) growth = (tracemalloc.get_traced_memory()[0] - initial) / 1024 / 1024 tracemalloc.stop() assert growth < 50, f"Memory grew {growth:.1f}MB" ``` ### Step 2: Implement Minimum to Pass ```python # jarvis/stt/engine.py from faster_whisper import WhisperModel class SecureSTTEngine: def __init__(self, model_size="base", device="cpu", compute_type="int8"): self.model = WhisperModel(model_size, device=device, compute_type=compute_type) def transcribe(self, audio_path: str) -> str: # Minimum implementation to pass tests segments, _ = self.model.transcribe(audio_path) return " ".join(s.text for s in segments).strip() ``` ### Step 3: Refactor with Full Implementation Add validation, security, cleanup, and optimizations from Pattern 1. ### Step 4: Run Full Verification ```bash # Run all STT tests pytest tests/test_stt_engine.py -v --tb=short # Run with coverage pytest tests/test_stt_engine.py --cov=jarvis.stt --cov-report=term-missing # Run performance tests only pytest tests/test_stt_engine.py -k "performance" -v ``` --- ## 6. Performance Patterns ### Pattern 1: Streaming Transcription (Low Latency) ```python # GOOD - Stream chunks for real-time feedback def process_chunk(self, chunk, sr=16000): self.buffer.append(chunk) if sum(len(c) for c in self.buffer) / sr >= 0.5: audio = np.concatenate(self.buffer) segments, _ = self.model.transcribe(audio, vad_filter=True) self.buffer = [] return " ".join(s.text for s in segments) return None # BAD - Wait for complete audio result = model.transcribe(audio_path) # User waits for entire recording ``` ### Pattern 2: VAD Preprocessing (Reduce Processing) ```python # GOOD - Filter silence before transcription import webrtcvad vad = webrtcvad.Vad(2) def extract_speech(audio, sr=16000): audio_int16 = (audio * 32767).astype(np.int16) frame_size = int(sr * 30 / 1000) # 30ms frames return np.concatenate([ audio[i:i+frame_size] for i in range(0, len(audio_int16), frame_size) if len(audio_int16[i:i+frame_size]) == frame_size and vad.is_speech(audio_int16[i:i+frame_size].tobytes(), sr) ]) # BAD - Process entire audio including silence model.transcribe(audio_path) # Wastes compute on silence ``` ### Pattern 3: Model Quantization (Memory + Speed) ```python # GOOD - Quantized for CPU engine = SecureSTTEngine(model_size="small", device="cpu", compute_type="int8") # GOOD - Float16 for GPU engine = SecureSTTEngine(model_size="medium", device="cuda", compute_type="float16") # BAD - Full precision unnecessarily engine = SecureSTTEngine(model_size="small", device="cpu", compute_type="float32") ``` ### Pattern 4: Batch Processing (Throughput) ```python # GOOD - Process multiple files in parallel from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor def transcribe_batch(engine, paths): with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=4) as ex: return list(ex.map(engine.transcribe, paths)) # BAD - Sequential processing results = [engine.transcribe(p) for p in paths] # Blocks on each ``` ### Pattern 5: Audio Buffering (Memory Efficiency) ```python # GOOD - Fixed-size ring buffer class RingBuffer: def __init__(self, max_samples): self.buffer = np.zeros(max_samples, dtype=np.float32) self.idx = 0 def append(self, audio): n = len(audio) end = (self.idx + n) % len(self.buffer) if end > self.idx: self.buffer[self.idx:end] = audio else: self.buffer[self.idx:] = audio[:len(self.buffer)-self.idx] self.buffer[:end] = audio[len(self.buffer)-self.idx:] self.idx = end # BAD - Unbounded list growth chunks = [] chunks.append(audio) # Memory leak over time ``` --- ## 7. Implementation Patterns ### Pattern 1: Secure Faster Whisper Setup ```python from faster_whisper import WhisperModel from pathlib import Path import tempfile, os, structlog logger = structlog.get_logger() class SecureSTTEngine: def __init__(self, model_size="base", device="cpu", compute_type="int8"): valid_sizes = ["tiny", "base", "small", "medium", "large-v3"] if model_size not in valid_sizes: raise ValueError(f"Invalid model size: {model_size}") self.model = WhisperModel(model_size, device=device, compute_type=compute_type) self.temp_dir = tempfile.mkdtemp(prefix="jarvis_stt_") os.chmod(self.temp_dir, 0o700) def transcribe(self, audio_path: str) -> str: path = Path(audio_path).resolve() if not self._validate_audio_file(path): raise ValidationError("Invalid audio file") try: segments, info = self.model.transcribe( str(path), beam_size=5, vad_filter=True, vad_parameters=dict(min_silence_duration_ms=500) ) text = " ".join(s.text for s in segments) logger.info("stt.transcribed", duration=info.duration) return text.strip() finally: path.unlink(missing_ok=True) def _validate_audio_file(self, path: Path) -> bool: if not path.exists(): return False if path.stat().st_size > 50 * 1024 * 1024: return False return path.suffix.lower() in {'.wav', '.mp3', '.flac', '.ogg', '.m4a'} def cleanup(self): import shutil shutil.rmtree(self.temp_dir, ignore_errors=True) ``` ### Pattern 2: Privacy-Preserving Transcription ```python class PrivacyAwareSTT: """STT with privacy protections.""" def __init__(self, engine: SecureSTTEngine): self.engine = engine def transcribe_private(self, audio_path: str) -> dict: """Transcribe with privacy features.""" # Transcribe text = self.engine.transcribe(audio_path) # Remove PII patterns cleaned = self._remove_pii(text) # Log without content logger.info("stt.transcribed_private", word_count=len(cleaned.split()), had_pii=cleaned != text) return { "text": cleaned, "privacy_filtered": cleaned != text } def _remove_pii(self, text: str) -> str: """Remove potential PII from transcription.""" import re # Phone numbers text = re.sub(r'bd{3}[-.]?d{3}[-.]?d{4}b', '[PHONE]', text) # Email addresses text = re.sub(r'b[w.-]+@[w.-]+.w+b', '[EMAIL]', text) # Social security numbers text = re.sub(r'bd{3}[-]?d{2}[-]?d{4}b', '[SSN]', text) # Credit card numbers text = re.sub(r'bd{4}[-s]?d{4}[-s]?d{4}[-s]?d{4}b', '[CARD]', text) return text ``` --- ## 8. Security Standards **Privacy Concerns**: Audio contains sensitive conversations, voice biometrics are PII, transcriptions may leak data. **Required Mitigations**: ```python # Always delete after processing def transcribe_and_delete(audio_path: str) -> str: try: return engine.transcribe(audio_path) finally: Path(audio_path).unlink(missing_ok=True) # Validate before processing def validate_audio(path: str) -> bool: p = Path(path) if p.stat().st_size > 50 * 1024 * 1024: raise ValidationError("File too large") if p.suffix.lower() not in {'.wav', '.mp3', '.flac'}: raise ValidationError("Invalid format") return True ``` --- ## 9. Common Mistakes ### NEVER: Keep Audio Files ```python # BAD - Audio persists def transcribe(path): return model.transcribe(path) # File remains # GOOD - Delete after use def transcribe(path): try: return model.transcribe(path) finally: Path(path).unlink() ``` ### NEVER: Log Transcription Content ```python # BAD - Logs sensitive content logger.info(f"Transcribed: {text}") # GOOD - Log metadata only logger.info("stt.complete", word_count=len(text.split())) ``` --- ## 10. Pre-Implementation Checklist ### Phase 1: Before Writing Code - [ ] Read SKILL.md completely - [ ] Review TDD workflow and performance patterns - [ ] Identify test cases for accuracy and latency requirements - [ ] Plan audio cleanup and privacy protections - [ ] Select appropriate model size for target hardware - [ ] Design temp file handling with secure permissions ### Phase 2: During Implementation - [ ] Write failing tests first (accuracy, latency, memory) - [ ] Implement minimum code to pass tests - [ ] Audio deleted immediately after transcription - [ ] Temp files use restricted permissions (0o700) - [ ] No transcription content in logs - [ ] PII filtering implemented - [ ] Input validation (size, format, duration) - [ ] Voice activity detection enabled - [ ] Model loaded once (singleton pattern) ### Phase 3: Before Committing - [ ] All tests pass: `pytest tests/test_stt_engine.py -v` - [ ] Coverage above 80%: `pytest --cov=jarvis.stt` - [ ] Latency under 300ms for short audio - [ ] Memory stable over repeated transcriptions - [ ] No audio files persist after processing - [ ] Security review completed (no PII leaks) --- ## 11. Summary Your goal is to create STT systems that are: - **Private**: Audio processed locally, deleted immediately - **Fast**: Optimized for real-time voice assistant responses - **Accurate**: Appropriate model and preprocessing for context You understand that voice data requires special privacy protection. Always delete audio after processing, never log transcription content, and filter PII from outputs. **Critical Reminders**: 1. Delete audio files immediately after transcription 2. Never log transcription content 3. Filter PII from transcription results 4. Use secure temp directories with restricted permissions 5. Validate all audio input (size, format, duration)
