# Download Anything Find it. Download it. Any resource, any format. ## Toolkit ```bash # Install all tools at once bash scripts/install-toolkit.sh ``` | Tool | Install | Purpose | |------|---------|---------| | `yt-dlp` | `brew install yt-dlp` | Video/audio from 1800+ sites | | `aria2c` | `brew install aria2` | Multi-thread downloads, torrents | | `gallery-dl` | `pip3 install gallery-dl` | Batch image/media, 170+ sites | | `spotdl` | `pip3 install spotdl` | Spotify playlists → local files | | `wget` | `brew install wget` | Recursive downloads, site mirroring | | `curl` | pre-installed | HTTP requests, API calls | | `ffmpeg` | `brew install ffmpeg` | Media conversion | | `jq` | `brew install jq` | JSON parsing for automation | ## Decision Tree | Want to download... | Tool / Approach | |---------------------|----------------| | YouTube / social media video | `scripts/dl-video.sh URL` (auto-detects Bilibili cookies) | | Audio from any video URL | `scripts/dl-audio.sh URL` | | Spotify playlist/album/track | `spotdl URL` | | Images from gallery/artist page | `scripts/dl-gallery.sh URL` | | A direct file URL (fast) | `scripts/dl-file.sh URL` (aria2, 16 connections) | | A torrent or magnet link | `scripts/dl-torrent.sh "magnet:..."` | | Subtitles for a video | `scripts/dl-subtitle.sh QUERY` | | An ebook or paper | → [references/ebooks.md](references/ebooks.md) | | A movie or TV show | → [references/video.md](references/video.md) | | Music / game soundtracks / OST | → [references/music.md](references/music.md) | | Software or app | → [references/software.md](references/software.md) | | Stock images/video/audio/fonts | → [references/media-assets.md](references/media-assets.md) | | Chinese cloud drive resources | → [references/cloud-search.md](references/cloud-search.md) | | Online courses | → [references/education.md](references/education.md) | | Something else / not sure | → [references/search-techniques.md](references/search-techniques.md) | ## Scripts All in `scripts/`. Each does one thing. Compose as needed. | Script | What it does | Key args | |--------|-------------|----------| | `install-toolkit.sh` | Install all CLI tools | — | | `dl-video.sh URL [QUALITY]` | Download video (auto cookies for Bilibili) | `best`/`1080`/`720`/`480` | | `dl-audio.sh URL [FORMAT]` | Extract audio | `mp3`/`opus`/`flac`/`best` | | `dl-file.sh URL [OUTPUT]` | Fast multi-thread download | 16 connections via aria2 | | `dl-gallery.sh URL [DIR] [ARGS...]` | Batch download images | extra args passed to gallery-dl | | `dl-torrent.sh MAGNET [DIR]` | Download torrent/magnet | via aria2 | | `dl-subtitle.sh QUERY [LANG]` | Search & download subtitles | `en`/`zh`/`ja` etc. | ## Quick One-Liners ```bash # Best quality video yt-dlp -f "bv*+ba/b" "URL" # 1080p video + subtitles yt-dlp -f "bv[height<=1080]+ba/b" --write-subs --sub-langs "en,zh" "URL" # Extract audio as MP3 yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 "URL" # Download YouTube playlist yt-dlp --yes-playlist "URL" # Fast file download (16 connections) aria2c -x16 -s16 -k1M "URL" # Download magnet aria2c --seed-time=0 "magnet:?xt=..." # Batch images from gallery gallery-dl "URL" # Spotify album → local MP3s spotdl "SPOTIFY_URL" # All PDFs from a page wget -r -l1 -A "*.pdf" "URL" # Video metadata as JSON (automation) yt-dlp -j "URL" # Get direct URL without downloading yt-dlp -g "URL" ``` ## Agent Automation Patterns **Video pipeline:** `yt-dlp -j URL` → parse JSON → select format → `yt-dlp -f FORMAT URL -o OUTPUT` **Ebook search:** Search Anna's Archive / Z-Library / 鸠摩搜书 → get download page → extract link → `aria2c` **Bulk media:** `gallery-dl --dump-json URL` → review items → `gallery-dl -d OUTPUT URL` **Music:** `spotdl SPOTIFY_URL` (auto YouTube match + metadata) or `yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 YOUTUBE_URL` ## Domain Instability Many resource sites rotate domains. When a URL fails: 1. Search: `[site name] mirror 2026` or `[站名] 最新地址` 2. Check Reddit/Twitter for community mirror lists 3. Anna's Archive = most resilient ebook meta-search 4. For Chinese cloud search: check 网盘之家导航 for latest links ## References | File | Content | |------|---------| | [ebooks.md](references/ebooks.md) | Ebook sites, academic papers, audiobooks, manga, Chinese books | | [video.md](references/video.md) | Torrent sites, DDL, subtitles, anime, Chinese video | | [music.md](references/music.md) | Free music, download tools, Chinese music, podcasts | | [software.md](references/software.md) | Software archives, package managers, Chinese sites | | [media-assets.md](references/media-assets.md) | Stock images, video, audio, fonts | | [cloud-search.md](references/cloud-search.md) | Chinese cloud drive search (百度/阿里/夸克) | | [education.md](references/education.md) | Free courses and MOOCs | | [tools-reference.md](references/tools-reference.md) | Detailed CLI syntax and advanced flags | | [search-techniques.md](references/search-techniques.md) | Google dorks, search strategies |

Browser automation CLI for AI agents. Use when the user needs to interact with websites, including navigating pages, filling forms, clicking buttons, taking screenshots, extracting data, testing web apps, or automating any browser task. Triggers include requests to "open a website", "fill out a form", "click a button", "take a screenshot", "scrape data from a page", "test this web app", "login to a site", "automate browser actions", or any task requiring programmatic web interaction.

Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, update or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
Alignment conversation starting from a 想法/idea. Co-decides with the user whether the idea should be acted on directly in the current session, or fixed into a formal Task for independent dispatch (one-off or recurring). Handles lightweight 'do it now while we talk', heavyweight 'define precisely, run later or on a schedule', and 'just help me think about this' — all on the same skill. Use when the user arrives via the 想法 panel's 'AI 讨论' button (parameter dictionary in the first message), or says 'let's think this through', 'help me plan this', 'I want to explore X', 'I have an idea', '/task-alignment'. Also use proactively when a user jumps into a complex task without defining scope or success criteria — pause, align, and help them pick the right vessel (this session vs. a task).
