Verify transcription environment

Cheap end-to-end check that the API keys this plugin depends on are (a) present in the environment and (b) actually accept a request. Reports per-provider status.

Providers checked

Provider	Env var	Used by
AssemblyAI	ASSEMBLYAI_API_KEY	transcribe-assemblyai
OpenRouter (Gemini)	OPENROUTER_API_KEY	gemini-transcription MCP, transcribe-gemini-* skills
Google Gemini (direct)	GEMINI_API_KEY	optional alt path for Gemini skills

How

For each provider, do the cheapest request that proves the key works:

AssemblyAI

curl -sS -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" \
  -H "Authorization: $ASSEMBLYAI_API_KEY" \
  https://api.assemblyai.com/v2/transcript?limit=1

• 200 → key valid
• 401 → key invalid or missing
• non-2xx → report code

OpenRouter

curl -sS -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENROUTER_API_KEY" \
  https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/auth/key

• 200 → key valid
• 401 → invalid

Google Gemini (direct)

curl -sS -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" \
  "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models?key=$GEMINI_API_KEY"

• 200 → key valid

Output

Render a compact status table:

Provider       Env var                 Status
─────────────────────────────────────────────────
AssemblyAI     ASSEMBLYAI_API_KEY      OK (200)
OpenRouter     OPENROUTER_API_KEY      MISSING
Gemini direct  GEMINI_API_KEY          OK (200)

For any MISSING or non-OK row, suggest the fix:

• Missing → "set in ~/.bashrc / ~/.zshrc and reload, or add to ~/.claude/settings.json env"
• 401 → "key is set but rejected; rotate or check for stray whitespace"

Notes

• Do not print the key values themselves, only their presence and the HTTP status.
• If curl is missing, fall back to wget -S -O /dev/null.
• This skill is read-only — no API calls that incur cost beyond the auth ping.
