What is late-episode-troubleshooter?

A troubleshooting guide for TV episodes or films that should already be available but were not downloaded.

Use it to confirm release dates, check library and system health, search available releases, choose one, download it, and verify it entered the queue.

It helps distinguish an unreleased item or library problem from a missing search result, then guides the next action.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00164	$0.00707
Opus 5	$0.00082	$0.00353
Sonnet 5	$0.00033	$0.00141
Haiku 4.5	$0.00016	$0.00071

Security

Grade A, and why

late-episode-troubleshooter scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 63 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Late episode / movie troubleshooter (the "poke")

Use this when something that should have downloaded didn't. Read references/decision-tree.md for the full branch logic.

Step-by-step

1. Locate the item and confirm it should exist

TV: sonarr_search_library to get the seriesId, then sonarr_missing_episodes (or sonarr_list_episodes filtered to the season) to find the specific episodeId. Confirm airDate is in the past — an episode that hasn't aired yet has no release, so there's nothing to grab.
Movie: radarr_missing_movies to find the movieId and confirm status is "released" (or a digital release date in the past).

2. Rule out the boring causes first

If there are several late items, run sonarr_health / radarr_health once: no enabled indexers ⇒ search returns nothing; no download client ⇒ grabs fail. Fix or report that before searching. See the library-health-and-diagnostics skill.

3. Interactive search

TV: sonarr_search_releases with the episodeId.
Movie: radarr_search_releases with the movieId.

Results come back sorted by seeders descending. If the list is empty, the release simply isn't available on the configured indexers yet — tell the user, don't grab something wrong.

4. Pick the right release

Apply the interactive-release-search skill. In short: skip rejected: true releases, prefer healthy seeders, and respect the quality the user expects. The top-seeded result is usually right, but not if it's a wrong-quality or rejected one.

5. Grab and verify

Grab with sonarr_grab_release / radarr_grab_release using the chosen guid + indexerId.
Verify with sonarr_queue / radarr_queue that the item now appears with a downloading/queued status. If it's not there or shows an error, surface it.

Confirm before grabbing

State which release you intend to grab (title, quality, size, seeders) and grab it. For a single obvious match you may grab directly, but never grab a rejected release.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
