What it does

Organize Files is an agent skill from jxxghp/MoviePilot. Use this skill when the user asks MoviePilot to identify and organize a local or downloaded video/music file, season folder, recording, album directory, or mixed folder that automatic transfer did not handle. If failed transfer history IDs are supplied, use transfer-failed-retry instead.

Its SKILL.md is about 970 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering File organization. The licence is GPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks MoviePilot to identify and organize a local
  • Downloaded video/music file
  • Album directory
  • Mixed folder that automatic transfer did not handle

Example prompts

  • “/organize-files”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): moviepilot_api, execute_command, ask_user_choice, send_message

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

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:

    • moviepilot_api
    • execute_command
    • ask_user_choice
    • send_message

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Organize Files loads about 965 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 427 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~965

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.

Organize Files

Use moviepilot_api for every MoviePilot business operation. Retired file, recognition, transfer, and history tools are not available.

Workflow

  1. Establish scope. If the user provides a path, use it. If they identify a downloader task, use downloader-operation and its fixed scripts/mp-downloader.py helper to discover the instance and call tasks.list. If they only name a configured root, call storage.settings. Use storage.list to inspect the selected directory. Do not process a broad shared root without an explicit, bounded scope.
  2. Classify files into movie, TV, one music recording, one complete album, subtitle/sidecar, or unrelated content. Do not group unrelated media merely because they share a directory.
  3. Call media.recognize with the representative title or path. If uncertain, call media.search; if several exact candidates remain, use ask_user_choice. Never invent or translate an ID.
  4. Preserve the exact media_source + media_id. For TV, verify season detail with media.detail when numbering is ambiguous. For music, a recording is one track, an album is one multi-track directory, and an artist is browse-only.
  5. When duplicate risk matters, call library.exists. If an existing transfer record affects reorganization, inspect transfer.history.
  6. Before a state-changing transfer, summarize the source, target identity, media type, season/music entity, storage, and mode. Continue only when the user's request already authorizes that exact action or after confirmation.
  7. Call transfer.file once per verified unit. For an album, transfer the album directory once only after its supported audio-file count is consistent with the selected album detail.
  8. If requested, call media.scrape after a successful transfer. Report actual tag, cover, and lyrics counts; never assume all lyrics were found.

Structured Calls

  • Directory listing: storage.list with storage/path/paging/sort in body.
  • Recognition: media.recognize with title/path in query.
  • Search: media.search with title/type/source constraints in query.
  • Detail: media.detail with path_params.media_id and identity/type in query.
  • Library check: library.exists with the exact identity in query.
  • Transfer: transfer.file with the manual-transfer request in body.
  • Actual transfer responses include data.items even when the batch reports failure. Inspect every item's state: accepted and retry_wait mean that background work remains; only completed confirms execution and settlement. manual_review requires resolving the task in the transfer queue first; failed and skipped do not mean imported. Do not resubmit an entire batch that already contains accepted or completed items. Preview responses remain planning data and do not contain execution states.
  • Scrape: media.scrape with path_params.storage, file item in body, and exact identity/type fields in query.

Stop and report instead of transferring when the source is missing, directory configuration is absent, identity remains ambiguous, an album appears mixed or incomplete, or the requested target would overwrite unrelated media.
