Easy-Effects-Manager

Bind an Easy Effects preset to autoload when a specific microphone (or output device) becomes active. Lists current PipeWire devices, lets the user pick, and writes the autoload JSON Easy Effects expects.

Back up Easy Effects presets from the live data dir into the user's library. Optionally git-commit and push if the library is configured as a git repo. Use after creating or tweaking a preset to capture it.

Copy a preset from the user's library into the live Easy Effects data dir so it can be loaded. Use after pulling new presets into the library or on a fresh workstation.

List Easy Effects presets — what's loaded right now, what's in the live data dir (installed but not active), and what's in the user's library. Use to figure out what's available before loading, installing, or exporting.

Activate an Easy Effects preset by name. Wraps `easyeffects -l <name>` (or the Flatpak equivalent) and verifies it loaded by reading back the last-loaded preset.

Onboard Easy-Effects-Manager — capture the user's preset library path (and whether it's a git repo) into the user-var store, then scaffold the directory tree. Run once per workstation before using any other skill in this plugin. Idempotent.

Record a short sample from the active input device, compute peak/RMS levels, and recommend gain adjustments. Use to verify a mic preset is producing clean, well-leveled audio for voice dictation or recording.

Open or modify a single value in an installed Easy Effects preset JSON file, then reload it. Useful for quick adjustments (autogain target, threshold, gain) without launching the full GUI. For structural edits, use the GUI.

Opinionated end-to-end setup for clean voice dictation input — confirm Easy Effects is running, ensure a noise-reduction + autogain preset is active, run a level test, and report whether the chain is dictation-ready.
