Media Library Organizer

A Claude Code skill for systematically cleaning, merging, renaming, and verifying media libraries — making them ready for Jellyfin / Emby / Plex auto-scraping.

What It Does

| Step | Description | |------|-------------| | Scan & Analyze | Survey directories, flag junk files, duplicates, misplaced content | | Clean Junk | Remove SMB residuals, .DS_Store, download fragments, empty dirs | | Identify Duplicates | Find same content across folders by title/year/quality matching | | Merge Scattered Episodes | Combine split episodes from different release groups | | Normalize Folder Names | Rename to Title (Year) format for media server recognition | | Verify vs TMDB | Compare local episode counts against TMDB totals | | Report & Confirm | Present findings, wait for user confirmation before deletions |

Workflow

Scan & Analyze → Clean Junk → Identify Duplicates → Merge Scattered Episodes
    → Normalize Folder Names → Verify vs TMDB → Report & Confirm

Installation

Quick Install (Recommended)

npx skills add Innei/media-library-organizer-skill

This automatically installs the skill into your Claude Code environment.

Manual Install

Copy the skill into your Claude Code skills directory:

# Global (all projects)
git clone https://github.com/Innei/media-library-organizer-skill.git ~/.claude/skills/media-library-organizer

# Project-specific
git clone https://github.com/Innei/media-library-organizer-skill.git .claude/skills/media-library-organizer

Then invoke it in Claude Code by telling Claude to organize your media library, or use the slash command:

/media-library-organizer

Standalone Scripts

The scripts/ directory contains standalone bash scripts that can be used independently:

# Scan media directory for issues
./scripts/scan-media.sh /path/to/media

# Check episode completeness
./scripts/check-episodes.sh /path/to/TV/

# Suggest folder name normalization (dry run)
./scripts/normalize-names.sh /path/to/Movie/

Example

Before:

Movie/
  默杀.A.Place.Called.Silence.2024.2160p.HQ.WEB-DL.60fps.H265.10bit.DDP5.1-PTerWEB/
  [白蛇：浮生].White.Snake.Afloat.2024.2160p.120fps.WEB-DL.HEVC.10bit.TrueHD5.1-QHstudIo/
  Zootopia.2016.2160p.DSNP.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.Atmos.DV.H.265-HHWEB/
TV/
  Mobius.S01.2160p.iQIYI.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.HDR.H.265-MWeb/
  Mobius.S01.2025.1080p.WEB-DL.AAC.H264-JKCT/
  [不眠日].Mobius.2025.S01.2160p.WEB-DL.HEVC-QHstudIo/

After:

Movie/
  默杀 (2024)/
  白蛇：浮生 (2024)/
  疯狂动物城 (2016)/
TV/
  不眠日 (2025)/          ← 3 folders merged, best quality kept

Safety

• Never auto-deletes content — always confirms with user first
• Tiered safety system — only truly safe junk (SMB residuals, .DS_Store) is removed without asking
• PT/BT seeding awareness — warns before renaming folders that may be actively seeding
• Dry-run scripts — normalize-names.sh only prints suggested renames, never executes

Docs

Detailed step-by-step instructions for each phase:

• Scan & Analyze
• Clean Junk
• Identify Duplicates
• Merge Scattered Episodes
• Normalize Folder Names
• Verify vs TMDB
• Report & Confirm

Common Pitfalls

| Mistake | Fix | |---------|-----| | Renaming breaks PT/BT seeding | Confirm with user if they're still seeding | | Gap detection misses tail truncation | Must compare against TMDB total count | | macOS grep lacks -P flag | Use egrep -o instead of grep -oP | | Merging without checking overlaps | Always verify no episode overlap before merge | | Guessing Chinese titles from English | Search TMDB for authoritative names |

Requirements

• Bash 4+
• find, du, awk, egrep (standard Unix tools)
• TMDB access for episode verification
• Claude Code (for skill usage)
