🛠 Configuration

Variables

• MOVIES_ROOT: Base directory (default: Movies/).
• WATCHLIST_DIR: New discoveries (default: Movies/watchlist/).
• SEEN_DIR: Archived films (default: Movies/seen/).
• INDEX_FILE: Central tracker (default: Movies/Movies.md).
• PROFILE_FILE: The learning brain (default: Movies/Cinematic Profile.md).
• LANG: Language for prompts (default: en).

🚀 Workflow

0. Initialization (Auto-Setup)

On first run, the skill ensures:

1. The MOVIES_ROOT directory exists.
2. watchlist/ and seen/ subdirectories are created.
3. Default Movies.md index and Cinematic Profile.md are initialized.

1. Recommendation ("Find me a movie")

1. Profile Analysis: Consults PROFILE_FILE for preferred actors, genres, and themes.
2. Context Check: May check recent logs or mood to suggest a matching "vibe".
3. Double-Feature: Offers a "Power Duo" of two films with a unique connection.

2. Saving to Watchlist

• Creates a file: {Title} ({Year}) - {Actor1}, {Actor2}.md in WATCHLIST_DIR.
• Populates with ratings, streaming sources, poster, and YouTube trailer.
• If the movie is unreleased, creates an openclaw cron reminder.

3. Archive as Seen & Learning

1. Archive: Moves the file to SEEN_DIR and checks [x] in Movies.md.
2. Reflection: Asks questions like "What was the most surprising moment?" or "Would you watch more from this director?".
3. Evolution: Updates PROFILE_FILE with new actors, directors, or genres discovered.
