Overview
Integrate Radarr movie management into chat-based workflows: search/lookup titles, select quality profiles and root folders, add movies (by title/year or TMDB id), trigger searches, and track import progress with optional rich metadata and Plex links.
Key Advantages
1.End-to-end movie request flow from chat: lookup, disambiguation, configuration resolution, add, and progress notifications.
2.Leverages Radarr’s HTTP API directly, covering key operations like listing profiles/roots, searching, and adding/monitoring movies.
3.Optional integrations with TMDB and OMDB to produce rich “movie cards” (poster, trailer, IMDb rating) for a better chat UX.
4.File-based tracking queue and polling dispatcher allow progress updates (including final imported status) to be posted back into the same chat.
5.Config resolution helper (resolve_defaults.py) reduces back-and-forth by using environment defaults and prompting only when necessary for profiles/roots, improving usability in multi-user chats.
Use Cases
- Handling user requests such as “add/request <movie>” in a DM or group chat and automatically adding the chosen movie to Radarr with appropriate profile and root folder.
- Providing a conversational front-end for a self-hosted Radarr/Plex setup where users can request movies without accessing the Radarr UI directly.
- Automating Radarr-based media workflows by wiring cron/queue runners to monitor the skill’s tracking outbox and send periodic status updates.
- Building richer media bots that show movie posters, trailers, and IMDb ratings alongside confirmation that items were added to Radarr.
- Supporting power users/admins who want quick CLI-style control over Radarr (profiles, roots, lookup, add with TMDB id) via OpenClaw skills.

**Judgement:** A solid, well-scoped skill for integrating Radarr into chat and automation workflows, particularly suited to self-hosted media setups where users request/download movies via Radarr/Plex.
**What it does well:**
- Covers the main Radarr operations needed for chat-based movie requests: lookup (by term or TMDB id), listing quality profiles and root folders, adding movies with monitoring and search, and tracking progress to completion.
- Offers a clear recommended chat workflow (lookup → config resolution → optional rich card → add → progress tracking), making it straightforward to integrate into bots and cron runners.
- Optional TMDB/OMDB/Plex integrations allow rich movie cards and Plex playback links, improving end-user experience without being strictly required.
**Key risks / limitations:**
- Requires a correctly configured Radarr instance and environment variables (URL, API key, optional TMDB/OMDB/Plex). Misconfiguration will cause failures that need operational troubleshooting.
- File-based tracking and polling introduce some operational complexity (cron/runner management, filesystem permissions) and potential fragility under heavy usage.
- No built-in rate limiting or access control; if exposed to untrusted users, it could be abused to enqueue many downloads on the Radarr host.
**Recommended scenarios:**
- Self-hosted Radarr/Plex environments where a small group of trusted users want to request movies from within chat (Telegram or similar) and see progress updates until import.
- OpenClaw deployments aiming to provide a “movie request bot” front-end instead of giving users direct access to the Radarr web UI.
- Media automation setups where Radarr workflows (add + monitor + search) need to be triggered programmatically with human-friendly feedback and configuration resolution.
