A starter prompt for Claude Code, what you'll need, and how to reach them.
Build a minimal version of "Open-source customizable AI voice dictation built on Pipecat". Read the original at https://github.com/kstonekuan/tambourine-voice for the exact requirements, then scaffold a Next.js + Tailwind app, implement the smallest valuable slice first, and ship it.

Open the original ↗Tambourine is an open source, fully customizable voice dictation system that lets you control STT/ASR, LLM formatting, and prompts for inserting clean text into any app. I have been building this on the side for a few weeks. What motivated it was wanting a customizable version of Wispr Flow where I could fully control the models, formatting, and behavior of the system, rather than relying on a black box. Tambourine is built directly on top of Pipecat and relies on its modular voice agent framework. The back end is a local Python server that uses Pipecat to stitch together STT and LLM models into a single pipeline. This modularity is what makes it easy to swap providers, experiment with different setups, and maintain fine-grained control over the voice AI. I shared an early version with friends and recently presented it at my local Claude Code meetup. The response was overwhelmingly positive, and I was encouraged to share it more widely. The desktop app is built with Tauri. The front end is written in TypeScript, while the Tauri layer uses Rust to handle low level system integration. This enables the registration of global hotkeys, management of audio devices, and reliable text
