Trello Media Download Skill

Download Trello-hosted images referenced in Markdown files so they are available locally in the vault.

When to Use

• After running the trello-import skill
• When Markdown files reference remote Trello image URLs that should be stored locally

Bundled Script

The downloader script is bundled at scripts/download_media_from_trello.py. Run from the repository root.

Dry run (preview what would be downloaded):

python3 .claude/skills/trello-media-download/scripts/download_media_from_trello.py --root 'TRELLO_IMPORT/Bangkok (She Simmers)' --dry-run

Download and rewrite links:

python3 .claude/skills/trello-media-download/scripts/download_media_from_trello.py --root 'TRELLO_IMPORT/Bangkok (She Simmers)'

Options

Flag	Description
--root PATH	Directory to scan (required, no default)
--pattern GLOB	File pattern under root (default: **/index.md)
--dry-run	List planned downloads without writing files
--overwrite	Re-download files that already exist locally
--timeout SEC	HTTP timeout in seconds (default: 30)

Behavior

• Scan Markdown files for ![alt](url) links pointing to trello.com or trello-attachments.s3.amazonaws.com
• Download each image into the same folder as its Markdown file
• Rewrite remote URLs to local relative paths (./filename.jpg)
• Skip already-downloaded files unless --overwrite is used

Recommended Workflow

1. Run with --dry-run to review planned downloads.
2. Run without --dry-run to download and rewrite for that same --root.
3. Spot-check a few card folders to verify images are present and links are rewritten.
