Agent skills for running a Radarr/Sonarr media stack: API doctrine, quality profiles and upgrade storms, library hygiene, the search-to-import chain, and the grab decisions that make your player transcode.
Use when pointing a coding agent at Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, or a arr companion for the first time or in a fresh session: "connect to Radarr", "talk to Sonarr's API", find the API key, hit /api/v3, check whether a movie or show is already in the library, confirm a title has a file on disk, work out why an API write…
Use when an agent needs to know how THIS media stack is put together before it can safely act: which quality profile id means what, which root folder is for which kind of content, how container paths map to host paths, which download client handles which protocol, and which app is managed by a template sync. Triggers…
Use when nothing is arriving, or arriving too slowly: searches that find no results, releases grabbed but never downloaded, torrents stuck at zero peers or a few KB/s, Usenet posts that fail to repair, downloads that complete but never import, a VPN-wrapped client that stops working after a restart, or requests from…
Use when the library and the app disagree about what should exist: episodes stuck permanently "missing", a season pack re-grabbed every night, "episode file already imported" looping in the queue, a search that returns queued but finds nothing, seasons that re-monitor themselves after a metadata refresh, deleting a…
Use when playback quality is the real complaint but the arr is the real cause: a 4K file that stutters or shows grey glitches in one player but plays fine in another, "why is this transcoding when direct play should work", constant CPU or GPU load during playback, subtitles that force a re-encode, audio that gets…
Use when working on what Radarr or Sonarr is allowed to grab and when it stops: quality profiles, custom formats, cutoffs, upgrade behaviour, or Recyclarr and TRaSH guide templates. Triggers include "it keeps re-downloading the same movie", "endless upgrades", "why won't it grab this release", "it grabbed a worse…
One or two sentences: what this covers, and that it assumes the connection pattern and read-after-write doctrine from arr-connect. Cross-reference siblings by name (arr-context-map, arr-quality-profiles, arr-library-hygiene, arr-downloads, arr-playback) instead of repeating their content.
