Movie Manager

Organizes movie recommendations in Obsidian and generates suggestions based on user profile.

Security Scan

The skill's stated purpose (organizing movie recommendations in an Obsidian vault) matches its instructions, but a few vague instructions (e.g., 'check recent logs or mood') and unspecified external requests warrant caution before installing.

Purpose & Capability

Name, description, README, package.json and SKILL.md are consistent: the skill organizes files in an Obsidian-style vault, maintains watchlist/seen folders and an index, and fetches trailers/posters and streaming info. It does not request unrelated credentials or binaries.

Instruction Scope

Most runtime steps are file-oriented and appropriate for the described purpose (create dirs, write markdown files, update profile). However SKILL.md contains vague instructions like 'May check recent logs or mood to suggest a matching "vibe"' that could be interpreted to read arbitrary user logs or other context outside the vault. The skill also says it will fetch trailers/posters and streaming platforms but does not enumerate which web services or APIs it calls, leaving network behavior unspecified.

Install Mechanism

Instruction-only skill with no install spec or code files to run. No binaries to download or extract were declared, so there is low install-time risk.

Credentials

The skill requests no environment variables or credentials, which is proportionate. Be aware it will read and write files in the user-specified vault paths (MOVIES_ROOT, PROFILE_FILE). It may perform network fetches for trailers/posters/streaming info without declaring API keys — likely via public web requests or scraping.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request elevated or persistent platform privileges. It may create cron reminders via an 'openclaw cron' integration (described in SKILL.md) but does not modify other skills or global agent settings.

What to consider before installing

This skill appears to do what it says (manage movie notes in your Obsidian vault), but review these points before installing: - Examine and control file access: the skill will create and modify files in the MOVIES_ROOT (watchlist/seen/Movies.md and your PROFILE_FILE). Make sure those paths are safe and do not expose sensitive notes. - Clarify the vague 'context' step: ask or inspect how the skill determines 'recent logs or mood' — you should not let it read system logs, email, or other unrelated personal files. Prefer restricting it to the vault folder. - Network behavior: the skill will fetch trailers, posters, and streaming info but does not list which services/APIs it uses. If you care about privacy, request that it use known APIs (e.g., YouTube, TMDb) and/or run the skill in an environment with limited outbound network access. - Cron/reminder integration: the skill can create reminders; confirm what scheduler it uses and what notifications look like so you aren't surprised by outbound messages. - Trust and provenance: source is listed as unknown in the registry metadata despite package.json pointing at a GitHub repo. Verify the author's repository (https://github.com/adnXone/movie-manager) and review code history there before trusting the skill. If you are unsure, run the skill in a sandbox (limited vault copy, restricted network) and inspect created files and network calls before granting broader access.

• Visual Enrichment: Fetches poster URLs and displays them inline for a rich browsing experience.
• Intelligent Organization: Manages watchlist/ and seen/ folders with a centralized Movies.md index.
• Personalized Recommender: Suggests films based on your evolving profile of preferred actors, genres, and themes.
• Double-Feature Logic: Suggests complementary pairs of films for curated marathons.
• Reflective Journaling: Includes prompts after watching to capture thoughts and memories.
• Smart Reminders: Integrated with cron to notify you of upcoming releases.
• WikiLink Integration: Links people and genres within your vault (creates #people stubs when needed).

🛠 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.
