Shows

What This Skill Does

The Shows skill transforms OpenClaw into a personalized entertainment management assistant. It serves as a comprehensive tracker for your media consumption, spanning movies and television series. By maintaining organized records in your ~/shows/ workspace, the skill handles the heavy lifting of tracking your progress, watchlist curation, and historical ratings. It moves beyond simple logging by providing proactive alerts regarding upcoming season releases, platform availability, and reminders for abandoned shows. Whether you are catching up on a long-running series or maintaining a list of films for your next movie night, this skill ensures you never lose track of your entertainment journey.

Installation

To integrate the Shows skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ivangdavila/shows Once installed, the agent will automatically initialize the directory structure in ~/shows/ and begin monitoring your input for show-related queries.

Use Cases

This skill is designed for power users who consume content across multiple streaming platforms and struggle to keep track of their progress. It is ideal for families tracking shared watchlists, individuals who frequently lose their place in episodes, and those who want to be notified of new content arrivals before they disappear from services like Netflix or Disney+. By leveraging the metadata stored in completed.md or watchlist.md, you can gain insights into your viewing habits and get intelligent suggestions based on your personal history.

Example Prompts

1. "I'm starting The Sandman on Netflix, can you add it to my watching list?"
2. "What was the last episode of Shogun I watched?"
3. "I have two hours to spare, suggest something from my watchlist that fits a thriller mood."

Tips & Limitations

• Maintain your metadata: For the best results, ensure the Title and Year are accurate as per the item structure.
• Proactive monitoring: Ensure you provide feedback on platform updates; the agent relies on your input to stay current with content shifts.
• Limitations: The skill currently requires manual entry for updates. While it tracks state perfectly, it does not automatically sync with external streaming APIs. Keep your local files clean and updated to prevent the agent from getting confused between shows with similar titles.
