Export media collection to platform-specific formats (Plex, Jellyfin, MPD, mobile, archival)

Download media from discovered sources with format selection and progress tracking

Assemble media into thematic compilations, concert films, era playlists, and narrative experiences

Discover and rank media sources across platforms for an artist or specific content

Run local speaker diarization for acquired audio/video with WhisperX and pyannote, preserving anonymous speaker clusters in canonical transcript sidecars

Analyze an artist's discography to identify eras, catalog structure, and collection plan

Apply metadata tags, embed artwork, and organize media files with consistent naming

Verify archive integrity with self-verifying SHA-256 checksums, generate VERIFY.md, and optionally create W3C PROV provenance

ffmpeg patterns for extracting audio from video files and transcoding between formats

opustags and ffmpeg patterns for applying metadata to audio and video files

Produce timestamped transcript sidecars for acquired audio/video with hashes, source metadata, speaker labels when available, and explicit degraded plans when STT tooling is missing

Document missing content in media archives with standardized GAP-NOTE markers that guide acquisition and measure completeness

Accept/reject logic and quality scoring heuristics for media content

Analyze collection completeness against canonical discography and generate prioritized gap report

Patterns for acquiring content from Internet Archive and archival sources

Patterns for finding, processing, and embedding cover artwork into media files

W3C PROV-O patterns for tracking media derivation chains and production history
