Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Use this skill to fetch subtitle context around a timestamp. This is read‑only: no uploads or modifications.
Users should obtain an API key at: https://www.opensubtitles.com/consumers Required env vars: OPENSUBTITLES_API_KEY OPENSUBTITLES_USER_AGENT (e.g., OpenClaw 1.0) Optional (for downloads): OPENSUBTITLES_USERNAME OPENSUBTITLES_PASSWORD OPENSUBTITLES_TOKEN (if already logged in) OPENSUBTITLES_BASE_URL (hostname from login response, e.g., api.opensubtitles.com)
Scripts live in {baseDir}/scripts/.
{baseDir}/scripts/opensubtitles-api.sh search --query "Show Name" --season 3 --episode 5 --languages en Prefer IDs when available (imdb/tmdb). Use parent IDs for TV episodes. Follow redirects for search (script already uses -L).
{baseDir}/scripts/opensubtitles-api.sh login Note: Login is rate limited (1/sec, 10/min, 30/hour). If you get 401, stop retrying. Use base_url from the response as OPENSUBTITLES_BASE_URL for subsequent requests.
Before downloading, check the local subtitle cache (see below). Only call the download API if the file is not already cached. OPENSUBTITLES_TOKEN=... {baseDir}/scripts/opensubtitles-api.sh download-link --file-id 123
After downloading an .srt file (default window: 10 minutes before timestamp): On Windows, use findstr or PowerShell Select-String to replicate the awk logic (use the shell script as a guide). The agent should pick the best option available on that system. {baseDir}/scripts/subtitle-context.sh ./subtitle.srt 00:12:34,500 Custom window: {baseDir}/scripts/subtitle-context.sh ./subtitle.srt 00:12:34,500 --window-mins 5
Pair with trakt-readonly to identify current episode; when Trakt adds playback progress support, update the Trakt skill to supply a precise timestamp for context‑aware, spoiler‑safe responses.
Store downloaded subtitles under {baseDir}/storage/subtitles/ (create if missing). Use a stable filename like: {baseDir}/storage/subtitles/<file_id>__<language>.srt Check this cache before calling /download to avoid wasting limited daily downloads.
Never log or expose API keys, passwords, or tokens. Only call https://api.opensubtitles.com/api/v1 (or the base_url returned by login). Do not cache download links. Prefer IDs over fuzzy queries for accuracy. Avoid wasting downloads: store downloaded subtitle files locally and check the cache before calling the download API again. If a download is requested, always append the remaining download quota (from the remaining field) in the user response. Subtitle context should include the window from 10 minutes before the timestamp to the timestamp (default), unless the user specifies otherwise. The agent can adjust --window-mins to get more or less context as needed. Only read subtitle files from {baseDir}/storage/subtitles/ to avoid arbitrary file access.
