What This Skill Does

The Radarr skill for OpenClaw provides a powerful, natural language interface to manage your movie library. It bridges the gap between searching for cinematic content and automating the technical heavy lifting of media management. With this skill, you can search for movies directly, see detailed information including TMDB links, and add individual movies or entire movie collections to your Radarr library with just a few prompts. It intelligently manages quality profiles based on your custom configuration and ensures that your library stays organized without manual intervention in the Radarr web UI.

Installation

To get started, first install the skill using the OpenClaw hub: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/jordyvandomselaar/radarr. After installation, you must authenticate the agent by creating the configuration file located at ~/.clawdbot/credentials/radarr/config.json. Populate this file with your local Radarr URL, your unique API key, and your preferred default quality profile ID. You can verify your available quality profiles and library root folders by running the bash scripts/radarr.sh config command, which provides the necessary metadata for a seamless setup.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for home theater enthusiasts who want to automate their media acquisition workflow. Common use cases include rapidly searching for a specific film to check its availability, adding a blockbuster release the moment you hear about it, or importing entire sagas or movie collections with a single instruction. It also serves as a utility for library maintenance, allowing you to remove unwanted titles or clean up disk space by deleting files associated with removed movies.

Example Prompts

1. "Search for the movie 'Inception' and tell me if it's available to add to my library."
2. "Find the Marvel Cinematic Universe collection and add all the movies to my Radarr library using the High Quality profile."
3. "I want to remove 'The Room' from my library, but please keep the local files intact."

Tips & Limitations

Always ensure your Radarr instance is reachable at the URL provided in the configuration file. When searching for movies, the skill returns a clickable TMDB link; please verify the year and title before confirming to avoid adding the wrong version of a movie. When removing content, the skill will ask for confirmation regarding file deletion—please respond clearly to prevent accidental data loss. Note that the skill relies on the Radarr API; if the API is unreachable, the skill functions will remain inactive.
