# Radarr Movie Management Skill
**⚠️ MANDATORY SKILL INVOCATION ⚠️**
**YOU MUST invoke this skill (NOT optional) when the user mentions ANY of these triggers:**
- "add a movie", "search Radarr", "find a film", "add to Radarr"
- "remove a movie", "delete movie", "check if movie exists"
- "add movie collection", "Radarr library", "movie management"
- Any mention of Radarr or managing movies
**Failure to invoke this skill when triggers occur violates your operational requirements.**
Search and add movies to your Radarr library with support for collections, quality profiles, and search-on-add.
## Purpose
This skill enables management of your Radarr movie library:
- Search for movies by name
- Add individual movies or entire collections
- Check if movies already exist
- Remove movies (with optional file deletion)
- View quality profiles and root folders
Operations include both read and write actions. **Always confirm before removing movies with file deletion.**
## Setup
Add credentials to `~/workspace/homelab/.env`:
```bash
RADARR_URL="http://localhost:7878"
RADARR_API_KEY="your-api-key"
RADARR_DEFAULT_QUALITY_PROFILE="1" # Optional (defaults to 1)
```
- `RADARR_URL`: Your Radarr server URL (no trailing slash)
- `RADARR_API_KEY`: API key from Radarr (Settings → General → API Key)
- `RADARR_DEFAULT_QUALITY_PROFILE`: Quality profile ID (optional, run `config` command to see options)
## Commands
All commands return JSON output.
### Search for Movies
```bash
bash scripts/radarr.sh search "Inception"
bash scripts/radarr.sh search "The Matrix"
```
**Output:** Numbered list with TMDB IDs, titles, years, and overview.
### Check if Movie Exists
```bash
bash scripts/radarr.sh exists <tmdbId>
```
**Output:** Boolean indicating if movie is in library.
### Add a Movie
```bash
bash scripts/radarr.sh add <tmdbId> # Searches immediately (default)
bash scripts/radarr.sh add <tmdbId> --no-search # Add without searching
```
### Add Full Collection
```bash
bash scripts/radarr.sh add-collection <collectionTmdbId>
bash scripts/radarr.sh add-collection <collectionTmdbId> --no-search
```
Adds all movies in a collection (e.g., all Lord of the Rings movies).
### Remove a Movie
```bash
bash scripts/radarr.sh remove <tmdbId> # Keep files
bash scripts/radarr.sh remove <tmdbId> --delete-files # Delete files too
```
**Important:** Always ask the user if they want to delete files when removing!
### Get Configuration
```bash
bash scripts/radarr.sh config
```
**Output:** Available root folders and quality profiles with their IDs.
## Workflow
When the user asks about movies:
1. **"Add Inception to Radarr"** → Run `search "Inception"`, present results with TMDB links, then `add <tmdbId>`
2. **"Is Dune in my library?"** → Run `exists <tmdbId>`
3. **"Add all Star Wars movies"** → Search for collection, then `add-collection <collectionId>`
4. **"Remove The Matrix"** → Ask about file deletion, then run `remove <tmdbId>` with appropriate flag
5. **"What quality profiles do I have?"** → Run `config`
### Presenting Search Results
Always include TMDB links when presenting search results:
- Format: `[Title (Year)](https://themoviedb.org/movie/ID)`
- Show numbered list for user selection
- Include year and brief overview
### Adding Movies
1. Search for the movie
2. Present results with TMDB links
3. User picks a number
4. **Collection check:** If movie is part of a collection, ask if they want the whole collection
5. Add movie or collection (searches immediately by default)
## Parameters
### add command
- `<tmdbId>`: TMDB ID of the movie (required)
- `--no-search`: Don't search for movie after adding
### add-collection command
- `<collectionTmdbId>`: TMDB ID of the collection (required)
- `--no-search`: Don't search for movies after adding
### remove command
- `<tmdbId>`: TMDB ID of the movie (required)
- `--delete-files`: Also delete media files (default: keep files)
## Notes
- Requires network access to your Radarr server
- Uses Radarr API v3
- All data operations return JSON
- Quality profile IDs vary by installation — use `config` to discover yours
- The `defaultQualityProfile` from config is used when adding movies
- Collections are TMDB-specific and include related movies (sequels, franchises)
