# Consume Movie Skill
Search and extract content from ingested movies. This skill works with content already processed by `/ingest-movie`.
**Key Feature:** Integrates with `/consume-book` to provide book context while watching movie adaptations, and with `/dogpile` for external reviews.
## Quick Start
```bash
cd .pi/skills/consume-movie
# Watch a movie with book context and external reviews
./run.sh watch --movie "abc123" --with-book-context --with-reviews
# Search subtitles with book annotations
./run.sh search "rage" --movie "tywin_tyrion" --with-book-context
# Extract a clip
./run.sh clip --query "You are a Lannister" --output ~/clips/
# Add a note at a timestamp
./run.sh note --movie "movie_id" --timestamp 125.5 --note "Manipulation pattern"
# List available movies (shows which have book context)
./run.sh list
```
## Book-Before-Movie Workflow
The recommended workflow reads the source material before watching:
```bash
# 1. Read the book first
cd .pi/skills/consume-book
./run.sh sync --books-dir ~/library/books
./run.sh search "Paul Atreides" --book dune-id
./run.sh note --book dune-id --char-position 50000 --note "Character motivation"
# 2. Watch the movie with book context
cd .pi/skills/consume-movie
./run.sh watch --movie dune-2021-id --with-book-context --with-reviews
# Book notes are displayed alongside movie scenes
# External reviews from dogpile provide critical analysis
```
## Automatic Book Acquisition
When watching a movie, the skill automatically:
1. **Searches for related books** using the book-movie mapping (e.g., "There Will Be Blood" → "Oil!")
2. **Checks local registry** for existing book content
3. **Searches Readarr** for missing books via `/ingest-book`
4. **Falls back to movie reviews** via `/dogpile` if books unavailable
```bash
# Auto-acquire missing books before watching
./run.sh watch --movie dune-2021-id --acquire-books
# This will:
# 1. Search Readarr for "Dune" by Frank Herbert
# 2. If found: retrieve and extract via /ingest-book + /extractor
# 3. If not found: fetch movie reviews via /dogpile as fallback
```
### Acquisition Pipeline
```
Movie Title → find_related_books() → search Readarr
↓
Found? → /ingest-book retrieve
↓
/extractor → consume-book registry
↓
Not found? → /dogpile movie reviews (fallback)
```
## Commands
### Search Subtitles
```bash
./run.sh search <query> [--movie <movie_id>] [--context <seconds>]
```
Search for text in movie subtitles. Returns matches with timestamps and context.
**Options:**
- `--movie`: Specific movie ID (omit to search all)
- `--context`: Seconds of context before/after (default: 5)
**Output:**
```json
{
"results": [
{
"movie_id": "uuid",
"movie_title": "Game of Thrones S03E10",
"start": 125.5,
"end": 128.0,
"text": "You are a Lannister",
"context_before": "...",
"context_after": "..."
}
]
}
```
### Extract Clip
```bash
./run.sh clip --query <text> --output <dir> [--duration <seconds>]
```
Extract a video clip matching the search query.
**Options:**
- `--query`: Text to search for
- `--output`: Output directory for clip
- `--duration`: Clip duration in seconds (default: 10)
### Add Note
```bash
./run.sh note --movie <movie_id> --timestamp <seconds> --note <text> [--agent <agent_id>]
```
Add Horus note at a specific timestamp.
**Options:**
- `--movie`: Movie ID
- `--timestamp`: Time in seconds
- `--note`: Note text
- `--agent`: Agent ID (default: horus_lupercal)
### List Movies
```bash
./run.sh list [--json]
```
List all ingested movies available for consumption.
### Import from Ingest
```bash
./run.sh sync
```
Sync with `/ingest-movie` to import new transcripts.
## Data Storage
- **Registry**: `~/.pi/consume-movie/registry.json`
- **Notes**: `~/.pi/consume-movie/notes/<agent_id>/notes.jsonl`
- **Clip Cache**: `~/.pi/consume-movie/clips/`
## Integration with /memory
Consumption events and notes are automatically stored in `/memory`:
```bash
# After adding a note, the skill calls:
./memory/run.sh learn \
--problem "Watched Game of Thrones S03E10" \
--solution "Observed manipulation pattern: authority denies approval" \
--category emotional_learning \
--tags manipulation,authority,family_dynamics
```
