qbit-list

Read-only view of qBittorrent's current torrent list.

When to use

User asks about torrent download status — "what's downloading", "how's qbit looking", "any seeds I should kill", etc.

Env vars

• $QBITTORRENT_URL
• $QBITTORRENT_USERNAME
• $QBITTORRENT_PASSWORD

How

qBittorrent's WebUI requires login → session cookie → API:

COOKIE=$(mktemp)
trap 'rm -f "$COOKIE"' EXIT

curl -sf -c "$COOKIE" \
  -d "username=$QBITTORRENT_USERNAME&password=$QBITTORRENT_PASSWORD" \
  "$QBITTORRENT_URL/api/v2/auth/login" > /dev/null

curl -sf -b "$COOKIE" \
  "$QBITTORRENT_URL/api/v2/torrents/info" \
  | jq 'map({name, state, progress, category, dlspeed, eta})'

Output format for the user

[1] Some.Movie.2025.1080p.BluRay.x265-GROUP
    State: downloading  Progress: 47%
    Category: radarr    Speed: 6.2 MiB/s    ETA: 12m

Rules

• READ-ONLY. No add / pause / delete / re-category from this skill.
• Reference env vars by NAME; never paste values into chat.
• The login cookie is short-lived; don't try to cache it across skill runs.
• If /api/v2/auth/login returns "Fails." or HTTP 403, creds are wrong — say so, don't retry.
