What it does

Qbt Hub is an agent skill from OpenMinis/MinisSkills. Manage qBittorrent downloads via WebUI API (v5.0+). Use this skill whenever the user asks to add a torrent or magnet link, check download progress, search/filter tasks, delete tasks, set speed limits, manage tags/categories, or do anything related to qBittorrent. Trigger keywords: qBittorrent, qbt, torrent, magnet, download task, seeding, add torrent, qbt-hub.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/qbt.py`).

The repository describes itself as: Skills collection for Minis. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to add a torrent
  • Check download progress
  • Search/filter tasks
  • Set speed limits

Example prompts

  • “/qbt-hub”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Search for the torrent on sites like torrentkitty.net or thepiratebay.org using browser_use
  2. Extract the magnet link from the page
  3. Run python3 qbt.py add "" --savepath /path --tags "tag1,tag2"

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ae8c5db. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • qbt.wsen.me

    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

Qbt Hub loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 190 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Workflow: Search the web and add a torrent

  1. Search for the torrent on sites like torrentkitty.net or thepiratebay.org using browser_use
  2. Extract the magnet link from the page
  3. Run python3 qbt.py add "<magnet>" --savepath /path --tags "tag1,tag2"

Common patterns

bash
# Check what's currently downloading
python3 qbt.py list --filter downloading

# Find and delete a large task including its files
python3 qbt.py top --n 10 --sort size
python3 qbt.py delete "keyword" --files

# Tag all completed tasks
python3 qbt.py list --filter completed   # find keyword
python3 qbt.py tag "keyword" --tags "done"

# Slow down a task to save bandwidth
python3 qbt.py limit "keyword" --dl 200 --ul 50

Notes

  • keyword matching is case-insensitive fuzzy match on task name
  • Use all as keyword to target every task (e.g. resume all, pause all)
  • delete always prompts for confirmation before executing
  • rename requires an exact single match; use a more specific keyword if multiple tasks match
  • qBittorrent instance: http://qbt.wsen.me (internal network, v5.0.2)
