Granola Skill
Query and sync Granola AI meeting notes to Obsidian vault.
How It Works
Granola stores everything locally at ~/Library/Application Support/Granola/cache-v3.json:
- Documents (meetings with title, notes, people)
- Transcripts (real-time, with timestamps and source)
- Updates in real-time as you record
No API calls needed - reads directly from local cache.
Quick Start
bash# List all meetings python3 .claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py list # Get specific meeting with transcript python3 .claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py get <id> # Sync new meetings to vault python3 .claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py sync # Sync specific meeting python3 .claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py sync --id <id>

sync
Sync meetings to Meetings/ as structured Markdown.
bash# Sync new meetings only python3 .claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py sync # Sync specific meeting python3 .claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py sync --id <id> # Re-sync all (overwrites existing) python3 .claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py sync --all
Output Format

markdown--- type: granola-meeting date: 2026-01-09 time: "19:30" duration_min: 86 granola_id: abc123... people: - "[[Sarah Chen]]" topics: [] status: raw --- # Meeting Title ## Notes (Your notes from Granola) ## Transcript [19:30:45] 🎤 Hey, how's it going? [19:30:48] 🎤 Great to meet you...
Transcript icons:
- 🎤 = microphone (you)
- 🔊 = system audio (others on call)
Workflow
- Record meeting in Granola (real-time transcription)
- Sync to vault:
python3 .claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py sync - Process meeting: Extract action items, update people notes
- Mark as processed: Change
status: rawtostatus: processed
Querying with Bases
Use Granola.base to query synced meetings:
| View | Filter |
|---|---|
| Recent | Last 7 days |
| Needs Processing | status = raw |
| By Person | Grouped by people field |
Data Structure
Local cache: ~/Library/Application Support/Granola/cache-v3.json
cache (JSON string) → state → ├── documents: {id: {title, notes_plain, notes_markdown, people, created_at}} └── transcripts: {id: [{text, source, start_timestamp, end_timestamp}]}
Transcript segment:
json{ "text": "Hey, how's it going?", "source": "microphone", "start_timestamp": "2026-01-09T19:30:45.123Z", "end_timestamp": "2026-01-09T19:30:48.456Z" }
Tips
- Real-time access: Cache updates as you record - can query mid-meeting
- Free tier hack: Sync hourly to bypass 7-day history limit
- No auth needed: Uses local files, not API
