Description

README (SKILL.md)
AniCatch
Search and download anime torrents from miobt.com.
Prerequisites
Check if uvx is available. If not, install it first:
# macOS / Linux
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
# Or use pipx as fallback
pipx install anicatch && anicatch --search "KEYWORD"
Commands
Browse
--seasons — list all available seasons (current marked with ←)
uvx anicatch --seasons
--season — browse anime airing this season, grouped by day of week
uvx anicatch --season
--season 2 — browse a specific season by index (use --seasons to find the index)
uvx anicatch --season 2
Search
--search "KEYWORD" — search torrents by keyword, prints results to stdout
uvx anicatch --search "Demon Slayer"
uvx anicatch --search "鬼灭之刃"
Download
--download "URL" — download torrent directly from a detail page URL
uvx anicatch --download "https://miobt.com/show-xxx.html"
uvx anicatch --download "https://miobt.com/show-xxx.html" -o ~/Downloads
--search "KEYWORD" --download — search and download
uvx anicatch --search "Demon Slayer" --download --index 0
uvx anicatch --search "Demon Slayer" --download -o ~/Videos
--season --download — download from current season
uvx anicatch --season --download --index 3
Tips
- Results print directly to stdout — read the output, no JSON parsing needed
- English keywords give broader results ("Demon Slayer" over "鬼灭之刃")
- First run downloads ~33 packages into uv cache; subsequent runs are instant
- Downloads use BitTorrent with DHT and public tracker fallback
- When downloading from search results, copy the detail page URL and use
--download "URL" - Use
-o \x3Cdir>to specify a custom download directory
Usage Guidance
Before installing, make sure you are comfortable running uvx/pipx-installed third-party code and using BitTorrent. Approve first-time setup explicitly, keep downloads in a chosen folder, and verify the legality and trustworthiness of any torrents you ask the agent to download.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: anime-download-skill
Version: 0.3.3
The skill instructions in SKILL.md direct the agent to execute a high-risk `curl | sh` command to install the `uv` tool from `astral.sh`. While this is the official installation method for a legitimate utility, executing remote scripts directly in a shell is a significant security risk for automated agents. Additionally, the skill relies on `uvx` to fetch and execute the `anicatch` package from PyPI, which introduces supply chain risks, and facilitates BitTorrent downloads involving unverified peer-to-peer network connections.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose, README, and SKILL.md consistently describe searching and downloading anime torrents from miobt.com; users should notice that this intentionally performs torrent search/download activity.
Instruction Scope
The instructions are ordinary command examples for browse, search, and download workflows, with no hidden prompt override, deceptive role change, or forced autonomous behavior in the provided artifacts.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec or bundled code, but runtime use depends on uvx/pipx fetching the external anicatch package and optionally installing uv via a remote shell installer.
Credentials
Network access to miobt.com, BitTorrent DHT/trackers, and local file writes to user-selected output directories are proportionate to the stated download purpose but should be user-controlled.
Persistence & Privilege
No credentials, tokens, or elevated privileges are requested, but uv/pipx package installs and uv cache entries can persist after use.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install anime-download-skill - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/anime-download-skill - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
