At a glance

Retries failed MoviePilot video and music transfer records one verified group at a time, keeping retry evidence and re-identifying only legacy records that were actually deleted.

  • Works in 8 steps: Call transfer.history with status=failed… → If the source no longer exists or… → Group records only when identity and… → …
  • Retrying MoviePilot transfers that show as failed for a given list of history IDs
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Reorganizing a failed album or series without mixing up the identification of unrelated files

What it does

This skill handles specific failed transfer history IDs in MoviePilot using only the structured moviepilot_api operations. The agent first fetches the failed history and finds every requested ID, writing down source path and storage, destination, mode, identity, music type, season and episode, status and error, and never touches a record that was not asked for. If the source file is gone or the transfer directory setting is missing, it stops for that record and reports the blocker.

Records are grouped only when their identity and source layout prove they are the same movie, series, recording or album, since a shared parent folder is not proof. Each exact history ID is deleted before the retry, which can instead hand the record to a persistent retry scheduler; if that happens the result is final for the task. Only when a legacy history was truly deleted does the agent recognize the media from the source path, fall back to a narrow search, and call the file transfer with the original source, storage and mode. Accepted retries, retransfers, skipped cases and remaining failures are reported separately, and a queued retry is never presented as a completed transfer.

When your agent uses it

  • Retrying MoviePilot transfers that show as failed for a given list of history IDs
  • Reorganizing a failed album or series without mixing up the identification of unrelated files
  • Reporting which failed transfers were retried, skipped for missing files or still failing

Example prompts

  • “Retry the three failed MoviePilot transfer history IDs I listed in my last message.”
  • “These failed music transfers are all one album folder, so retry them and tell me what is still broken.”
  • “Check why this one failed history record broke and re-run it only if the source file still exists.”

Requirements

  • Access to a MoviePilot instance through the moviepilot_api tool
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): moviepilot_api

Workflow steps

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

  1. Call transfer.history with status=failed and locate every requested ID.
  2. If the source no longer exists or transfer-directory configuration is
  3. Group records only when identity and source layout prove they belong to the
  4. Call transfer.history.delete for each exact history ID before retrying.
  5. If the result says durable retry was accepted or rejected, that result is
  6. Only when the response confirms a legacy history was actually deleted may
  7. Call transfer.file with the original source/storage/mode and the verified
  8. Report accepted durable retries, successful legacy retransfers, skipped

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5b19d31. 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

    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

MoviePilot Failed Transfer Retry loads about 584 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 263 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~584

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.

Transfer Failed Retry

Use structured moviepilot_api operations only.

Required Flow

  1. Call transfer.history with status=failed and locate every requested ID. Record source path/storage, destination, mode, exact identity, music type, season/episode, status, and error. Do not act on a different record.
  2. If the source no longer exists or transfer-directory configuration is missing, stop for that record and report the blocker.
  3. Group records only when identity and source layout prove they belong to the same movie, series, recording, or album. Same parent directory alone is not enough. Recognize once per verified group.
  4. Call transfer.history.delete for each exact history ID before retrying. This operation may submit a durable record to the persistent retry scheduler instead of deleting it.
  5. If the result says durable retry was accepted or rejected, that result is final for the current task. Do not call transfer.file, delete the target, or remove history/retry evidence.
  6. Only when the response confirms a legacy history was actually deleted may you continue. First call media.recognize with the source path. If the result is absent or unreliable, call media.search with narrow filename/tag facts.
  7. Call transfer.file with the original source/storage/mode and the verified source-native identity. Preserve season and music entity fields. For a verified complete album sharing one directory, retry the directory once, not each track as unrelated media.
  8. Report accepted durable retries, successful legacy retransfers, skipped missing/configuration cases, and remaining failures separately.

Never transfer an artist entity. Never reuse one identification across records that do not form a verified group. Never report a queued durable retry as a completed file transfer.
