At a glance

Deluge Web JSON-RPC and core RPC reference covering session login, web methods, and commonly used core torrent operations.

  • Works in 4 steps: auth.login(password) → web.get_hosts() → web.connect(host_id) → …
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, Protocols, Session flow and Main Web methods, plus 5 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Deluge API is an agent skill from tympanix/Electorrent. Deluge Web JSON-RPC and core RPC reference covering session login, web methods, and commonly used core torrent operations.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: A remote control client for µTorrent, qBittorrent, rTorrent, Transmission, Synology & Deluge. The licence is GPL-3.0.

Example prompts

  • “/deluge-api”

Workflow steps

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

  1. auth.login(password)
  2. web.get_hosts()
  3. web.connect(host_id)
  4. Use web.* and core.* methods against the connected daemon

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d45444f. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

    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):

    • deluge.readthedocs.io

    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

Deluge API loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 425 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~33
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Deluge Web JSON-RPC and core RPC reference covering session login, web methods, and commonly used core torrent operations.

Skill: Deluge API

Purpose

Use this skill when you need to integrate with Deluge Web or reason about Deluge RPC calls exposed through the Web UI.

Protocols

Web API
  • Endpoint: /json
  • Spec: JSON-RPC v1-style request body
  • Typical request body:
json
{
  "method": "web.update_ui",
  "params": [["name", "progress"], {}],
  "id": 1
}
  • File uploads are sent to /upload
Core daemon RPC

DelugeRPC is the daemon/client wire protocol. Messages are zlib-compressed, rencode-encoded payloads.

  • Request: [[request_id, method, [args], {kwargs}], ...]
  • Response: [message_type, request_id, [return_value]]
  • Error: [message_type, request_id, exception_type, exception_msg, traceback]
  • Event: [message_type, event_name, data]

The Web UI exposes many core methods directly through the JSON endpoint, so callers often use JSON requests with core.*, auth.*, and web.* method names.

Session flow

Typical Web UI flow:

  1. auth.login(password)
  2. web.get_hosts()
  3. web.connect(host_id)
  4. Use web.* and core.* methods against the connected daemon

Main Web methods

MethodParametersPurpose
web.add_hosthost, port, username='', password=''Add daemon to host list
web.edit_hosthost_id, host, port, username='', password=''Edit host entry
web.remove_hosthost_idRemove host entry

Core methods commonly used through Web API

MethodParametersPurpose
core.get_config_values[keys]Read daemon config such as download_location
core.resume_torrent[hashes]Resume torrents
core.pause_torrent[hashes]Pause torrents
core.force_recheck[hashes]Recheck torrents
core.remove_torrent[hash, remove_data]Remove torrent, optionally deleting data
core.queue_up[hashes]Move up in queue
core.queue_down[hashes]Move down in queue
core.queue_top[hashes]Move to top
core.queue_bottom[hashes]Move to bottom

Important request and response details

  • web.connect(host_id) returns the list of methods the daemon supports
  • web.update_ui(keys, filter_dict) returns torrent/UI data keyed by torrent hash
  • web.add_torrents() expects uploaded files to be referenced by temporary path
  • web.download_torrent_from_url() returns the temporary filename to pass into web.add_torrents()
  • web.get_torrent_info() returns name, files_tree, and info_hash

Common options for web.add_torrents

Common per-torrent options include:

  • download_location
  • file_priorities
  • add_paused
  • compact_allocation
  • max_connections
  • max_download_speed
  • max_upload_slots
  • max_upload_speed
  • prioritize_first_last_pieces

Electorrent usage

Electorrent uses:

  • auth.login
  • web.get_hosts
  • web.connect
  • web.update_ui
  • web.download_torrent_from_url
  • web.add_torrents
  • core.get_config_values
  • core.resume_torrent
  • core.pause_torrent
  • core.force_recheck
  • core.remove_torrent
  • core.queue_up, core.queue_down, core.queue_top, core.queue_bottom
