At a glance

Guides creating, updating and reviewing built-in MoviePilot agent skills: file layout, frontmatter, allowed tools and the version bump that syncs changes to users.

  • Works in 8 steps: Understand the Request → Check Existing Skills First → Choose the Skill ID and Path → …
  • Adding a new built-in skill to the MoviePilot repository
  • SKILL.md covers Scope, MoviePilot-Specific Rules, Workflow and Minimal Example, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

This workflow is for built-in skills kept in the MoviePilot repository. The repository's skills/ folder is the source of truth, and bundled skills are copied into config/agent/skills at startup. Because the copy is overwritten only when the version field in SKILL.md changes, updating an existing skill means raising its version, otherwise users may keep the older copy. The folder name must match the frontmatter name, using lowercase letters, digits and hyphens and fewer than 64 characters.

The steps are to work out whether the request is a new skill or an edit, asking one focused question only if the goal is unclear, to check existing skills first and extend one instead of adding a near-duplicate, to choose a short hyphen-case id and path, and to write frontmatter where the description lists concrete trigger scenarios. The excerpt is truncated after the frontmatter rules.

When your agent uses it

  • Adding a new built-in skill to the MoviePilot repository
  • Editing an existing built-in skill and bumping its version
  • Reviewing a MoviePilot skill's frontmatter and trigger description

Example prompts

  • “Create a MoviePilot skill that retries failed transfers.”
  • “Update the moviepilot-api skill and bump its version so users get the change.”
  • “Review skills/transfer-failed-retry/SKILL.md for frontmatter problems.”

Requirements

  • A checkout of the MoviePilot repository
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): read_file, write_file, edit_file, apply_patch, execute_command

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Understand the Request
  2. Check Existing Skills First
  3. Choose the Skill ID and Path
  4. Write Frontmatter Correctly
  5. Write the Body
  6. Add Supporting Files Only When They Help
  7. Implement the Skill
  8. Validate Before Finishing

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 28e1cb3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • read_file
    • write_file
    • edit_file
    • apply_patch
    • execute_command

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Create MoviePilot Skill loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 656 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~113
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use this skill when the user asks to create, scaffold, update, or review a MoviePilot agent skill. This includes adding a new built-in skill under the repository `skills/` directory, editing an existing built-in skill, writing `SKILL.md` frontmatter and workflow instructions, choosing `allowed-tools`, adding helper scripts when needed, and bumping the built-in skill `version` so changes can sync into `config/agent/skills`.

Create MoviePilot Skill

This skill guides you through creating or updating a built-in MoviePilot agent skill in this repository.

Scope

Use this workflow for repository built-in skills:

  • Create or update files under skills/<skill-id>/
  • Commit the skill as part of the MoviePilot repository
  • Do not place the implementation only in config/agent/skills unless the user explicitly asks for a local override instead of a built-in skill

MoviePilot-Specific Rules

  • The repository root skills/ directory is the bundled source of truth for built-in skills.
  • On agent startup, bundled skills are synced into config/agent/skills.
  • Sync overwrite depends on the version field in SKILL.md. If you update an existing built-in skill, increment version, or users may continue using an older copied version.
  • Keep the folder name and frontmatter name identical. Use lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens only.
  • Prefer extending an existing skill instead of creating an overlapping duplicate.

Workflow

Step 1: Understand the Request
  • Determine whether the user wants a new skill or a change to an existing one.
  • Extract the target task, likely trigger phrases, needed tools, and whether helper scripts are necessary.
  • If the goal is still ambiguous after reading the request and local context, ask one focused clarification question. Otherwise proceed with a reasonable default.
Step 2: Check Existing Skills First
  • Inspect the repository skills/ directory before creating anything new.
  • If an existing skill already covers most of the workflow, update it instead of adding a near-duplicate.
  • Reuse the repository style: concise YAML frontmatter, trigger-rich description, and procedural body sections.
Step 3: Choose the Skill ID and Path
  • New built-in skill path: skills/<skill-id>/SKILL.md
  • Keep <skill-id> short, hyphen-case, and under 64 characters.
  • Use a verb-led or domain-led name that makes the trigger obvious, such as transfer-failed-retry, moviepilot-api, or create-moviepilot-skill.
Step 4: Write Frontmatter Correctly

Use this shape:

markdown
---
name: create-moviepilot-skill
version: 1
description: >-
  Explain what the skill does and exactly when to use it.
allowed-tools: read_file write_file edit_file execute_command
---

Rules:

  • description is the primary trigger surface. Put concrete "when to use" scenarios there.
  • Include version for built-in skills. Increment it whenever you ship a new built-in revision.
  • Add allowed-tools when the workflow depends on a small, well-defined tool set.
  • Add compatibility only when environment constraints actually matter.
Step 5: Write the Body

The body should contain:

  • A short purpose statement
  • MoviePilot-specific rules or guardrails
  • A step-by-step workflow
  • Concrete examples of matching user requests
  • References to supporting files when they exist

Prefer:

  • Imperative instructions
  • Concrete file paths
  • Examples aligned with actual MoviePilot conventions

Avoid:

  • Generic theory that does not change execution
  • Large duplicated documentation
  • Extra files like README.md or CHANGELOG.md inside the skill directory
Show full SKILL.md (249 more words)Show less
Step 6: Add Supporting Files Only When They Help
  • Add scripts/ only when the same deterministic work would otherwise be rewritten repeatedly.
  • Keep helper files inside the same skill directory.
  • Reference helper paths explicitly from SKILL.md.
  • If the skill is instructions-only, keep it to a single SKILL.md.
Step 7: Implement the Skill

For a new built-in skill:

  1. Create skills/<skill-id>/
  2. Create SKILL.md
  3. Add helper scripts only if they are justified

For an existing built-in skill:

  1. Edit skills/<skill-id>/SKILL.md
  2. Increment version
  3. Update helper files in the same directory if needed
Step 8: Validate Before Finishing
  • Re-read the frontmatter and confirm name matches the directory name.
  • Confirm description mentions real trigger scenarios.
  • If you changed an existing built-in skill, confirm version increased.
  • If possible, validate the file can be parsed by the MoviePilot skills loader.
  • Report the final path and note whether the agent needs a restart to sync the latest built-in skill into config/agent/skills.

Minimal Example

User request:

给 MoviePilot agent 加一个处理站点 Cookie 更新的内置技能

Expected outcome:

  • Create or update a directory such as skills/update-site-cookie/
  • Write SKILL.md with a trigger-rich description
  • Include only the tools needed for that workflow
  • Increment version when revising an existing built-in skill

Final Checklist

  • Is the skill under the repository skills/ directory?
  • Does the folder name equal frontmatter name?
  • Does description clearly say when the skill should trigger?
  • Did you avoid duplicating an existing skill unnecessarily?
  • Did you increment version for built-in skill updates?
  • Did you keep the skill lean and procedural?
