Trakt

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Personal history
• List management
• The bundled CLI has no user-scoped operations

Example prompts

• “/trakt”

Requirements

• Python 3
• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires TRAKT_CLIENT_ID, Python 3.8+, and requests. Public discovery reads use an application Client ID; the CLI does not implement OAuth.

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Run trakt --json movie trending --limit 20.
2. 2Unwrap .movie, retaining .watchers as the watch signal.
3. 3Pass an available .movie.ids.tmdb or .movie.ids.imdb to a downstream tool; do not assume a missing ID can be synthesized.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 22b4723. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • jq

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

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • trakt.tv

  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.

• Compatibility

  Requires TRAKT_CLIENT_ID, Python 3.8+, and requests. Public discovery reads use an application Client ID; the CLI does not implement OAuth.

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Trakt loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 748 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~80

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.8k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~3.7k

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

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

name

trakt

description

Discover and compare public Trakt.tv trending, popular, and anticipated movies and shows from the terminal. Do not use this skill for personal history, watchlist, collection, or list management; the bundled CLI has no user-scoped operations. Use `tmdb` for catalog metadata, credits, images, and provider lookups.

compatibility

Requires TRAKT_CLIENT_ID, Python 3.8+, and requests. Public discovery reads use an application Client ID; the CLI does not implement OAuth.
