At a glance

Search movies/TV, get cast, ratings, streaming info, and personalized recommendations via TMDb API.

  • SKILL.md covers Setup, Quick Commands, Integrations and Genre IDs, plus 1 more section
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls uv; needs TMDB_API_KEY

What it does

Tmdb is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Search movies/TV, get cast, ratings, streaming info, and personalized recommendations via TMDb API.

Its SKILL.md is about 830 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/tmdb.py`).

The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

Example prompts

  • “/tmdb”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in TMDB_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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:

    • uv

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

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

  • Credentials

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

    • TMDB_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Tmdb loads about 829 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 137 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~829

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 137 words (~829 tokens).
