What is Shows?
The Shows skill is a specialized toolset designed to bridge the gap between your media consumption and your digital workspace. By leveraging Openclaw Skills, this tool allows users to maintain a detailed, markdown-based database of their viewing habits, including current progress, personal ratings, and abandoned titles. It transforms a simple directory into an intelligent media assistant that remembers exactly where you left off in a series and suggests what to watch next based on your current mood or available time.
This skill is particularly valuable for users who prefer local, privacy-focused data management over proprietary tracking apps. It integrates seamlessly into your workflow, allowing you to log a new episode or check your watchlist without breaking context. By using Openclaw Skills to manage your media, you ensure that your data remains portable and accessible in a standardized Markdown format.
Shows Use Cases
- Logging current episode progress for long-running television series.
- Managing a centralized watchlist with platform-specific metadata.
- Recording personal ratings and reviews for completed movies and shows.
- Tracking viewing history across different family members or housemates.
- Setting up automated alerts for when shows are leaving specific streaming platforms.
How Shows Works
- The user mentions a media action to the AI agent, such as starting a new show or finishing a movie.
- The agent identifies the media type and searches the existing Openclaw Skills workspace in the ~/shows/ directory.
- Data is parsed and updated across specific Markdown files (watching.md, completed.md, etc.) based on the status of the item.
- The agent captures additional metadata such as the streaming platform, current season/episode, and personal notes.
- Proactive triggers monitor the database for stale entries or upcoming release dates to provide contextual reminders.
Shows Setup
To initialize the media tracking environment for Openclaw Skills, create the necessary directory and files in your home folder:
mkdir -p ~/shows
touch ~/shows/watching.md ~/shows/watchlist.md ~/shows/completed.md ~/shows/abandoned.md ~/shows/people.md
Once the file structure is in place, the agent will automatically begin indexing and updating these files based on your conversation history.
Shows Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes data using a structured Markdown approach to ensure human readability and machine parsability:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | Name (Year) format for unique identification |
| Type | Categorized as either 'movie' or 'series' |
| Status | Current state: watching, watchlist, completed, abandoned, or waiting |
| Progress | Season/Episode (e.g., S02E05) or timestamp for movies |
| Platform | The streaming service where the content is hosted (Netflix, HBO, etc.) |
| Rating | Personal score using a 1-5 scale or thumb icons |
Primary files include watching.md for active items and completed.md for historical tracking.
Shows Advanced Features
- Multi-user support via people.md to track progress for different family members.
- Stale content detection that alerts you if a show hasn't been updated in over 30 days.
- Platform transition alerts to notify you when items on your watchlist are leaving a streaming service.
- Intelligent discovery features that suggest content from your watchlist based on your current time constraints.
- Support for detailed release date tracking for upcoming seasons and series finales.
