MediaGo Video Downloader

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Downloading a video from an m3u8/HLS stream, Bilibili or a direct URL
• Setting up the MediaGo skill's connection to a desktop or Docker instance for the first time
• Changing the configured MediaGo address or API key

Example prompts

• “Download this video: https://example.com/stream.m3u8”
• “设置 mediago 地址为 http://localhost:8899”
• “Download this Bilibili video and name it lecture-3.”

Requirements

• A running MediaGo instance, desktop app or Docker
• curl

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Check config / 检查配置: Read ~/.mediago-skill.json. If missing, run the First-time Setup flow above.
2. 2Health check / 健康检查: Verify service is reachable. If not, tell the user MediaGo may not be running and guide them to start it.
3. 3Create task / 创建任务: POST to /api/downloads with startDownload: true.
4. 4Poll progress / 轮询进度: GET /api/downloads/TASK_ID every 3 seconds. Report status to user.
5. 5Report result / 报告结果

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c3c943b. 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

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • curl
  • docker

  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):

  • github.com

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

• Credentials

  Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • API_KEY

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

Context cost

MediaGo Video Downloader loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 462 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~70

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

~1.1k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
