# torrentclaw-skill

**Version:** 0.1.16
**License:** MIT
**Homepage:** https://torrentclaw.com

Search and download movies and TV shows from 30+ torrent sources directly from your AI agent. TorrentClaw aggregates torrents from YTS, EZTV, Knaben, Prowlarr, Bitmagnet, Torrentio, DonTorrent, Torrents.csv and more — enriched with TMDB metadata, quality scoring, and multi-language support.

Compatible with **Claude Code**, **OpenClaw**, **Codex CLI**, **Cline**, **Roo Code**, and any tool supporting the [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io) specification.

**Alternative:** For Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf, use the [MCP Server](https://torrentclaw.com/mcp) instead (`npx @torrentclaw/mcp`).

## Features

- Search movies and TV shows across 30+ torrent sources (YTS, EZTV, Knaben, Prowlarr, Bitmagnet, Torrentio, DonTorrent, Torrents.csv, and more)
- Filter by quality (480p–2160p), genre, year, rating, language, audio codec, HDR format, season/episode
- HDR and Dolby Vision filtering (hdr10, dolby_vision) and audio codec filtering (AAC, FLAC, Opus, Atmos)
- Quality scoring (0–100) based on resolution, codec, seeders, source trust
- Multi-language support (11 languages with accent-insensitive search)
- TMDB metadata enrichment: posters, backdrops, genres, cast, director credits
- Detect installed torrent clients (Transmission, aria2) and add magnets directly
- Download .torrent files or copy magnet links
- OS-specific installation guides for torrent clients (Linux, macOS, Windows/WSL)
- API key authentication for higher rate limits (anonymous 30/min, free 120/min, pro 1K/min)
