# NZBGet Status Checker

This skill provides quick access to NZBGet download status and queue information.  Required env vars: NZBGET_USER, NZBGET_PASS, NZBGET_HOST

## Usage

### Quick Count
Get a simple count of active downloads:
```bash
bash scripts/check_nzbget.sh count
```
Returns: `3` (number of items downloading)

### Full Status Report
Get complete status with speed, queue, and remaining size:
```bash
bash scripts/check_nzbget.sh
```

### Specific Queries

| Query | Command | Output |
|-------|---------|--------|
| How many downloading? | `count` | Number only |
| Current speed? | `speed` | Speed in MB/s |
| What's in queue? | `queue` | First 10 items only |
| Full status | (no args) | Complete report (max 10 items shown) |

**Note:** Queue listings are capped at 10 items to avoid flooding with large queues (400+ items). The script shows "Next 10 of X items" when there are more.

## Examples

**User:** "NZBGet count"
```
3
```

**User:** "What's downloading?"
```
📥 NZBGet Status: Downloading

Active Downloads: 3
Speed: 12.5 MB/s
Remaining: 45.2 GB

Current Queue:
  • Movie.2025.2160p.mkv - 67%
  • TV.Show.S01E05.1080p.mkv - 23%
  • Documentary.4K.mkv - 89%
```

**User:** "NZBGet speed"
```
12.5 MB/s
```

## Response Guidelines

- For "count" or "how many": Use the number directly in a conversational response
- For "speed": Report the current download speed
- For full status: Summarize the key info (count, speed, remaining) and list active items
- If NZBGet is unreachable or no items downloading, say so clearly
- Keep responses concise unless user asks for full details
