### Consolidated into umbrella skills (2)

_These skills were **absorbed into another skill** during this run — their content still lives, just under a different name. The original directory was moved to `~/.hermes/skills/.archive/` for safety and can be restored via `hermes curator restore <name>` if the consolidation was wrong._

- `ebook-management` → merged into `media-file-management` — Narrow EPUB/PDF metadata skill — its cover retrieval research, source reliability table, and embed script fit naturally under media-file-management's eBooks section
- `youtube-automation` → merged into `media-file-management` — Narrow headless video pipeline — its Reddit sourcing, TTS, yt-dlp, and ffmpeg workflow fits naturally under media-file-management's new YouTube Automation section

## LLM final summary

## Umbrella-building consolidation pass — complete

### Cluster processed: **media-*** (ebook-management, media-file-management, youtube-automation)

**Umbrella:** `media-file-management` — already the broadest skill, covering the ZimaOS media library. It was thin on ebook metadata/cover workflow and completely missing video production.

**Patches made:**
- Expanded description to include ebooks, audiobooks, and YouTube content.
- Added a comprehensive **Cover Retrieval for German/Austrian Books** subsection under eBooks, including the Morawa.at discovery, ranked source reliability table, "DO NOT USE" warnings for Google Books/OpenLibrary on German editions, and the standalone embed script.
- Added a full **YouTube Automation Pipeline** section covering Reddit sourcing, edge-tts narration, yt-dlp background footage, ffmpeg assembly, thumbnail generation, and upload workarounds.
- Updated script/reference paths to point to the new subdirectories (`scripts/ebook-management/`, `references/youtube-automation/`).

**Support files moved into umbrella:**
- `references/ebook-management/cover-retrieval-session-2026-06-01.md` (session-specific research)
- `scripts/ebook-management/embed_cover_epub.py` (reusable script)
- `references/youtube-automation/ffmpeg-recipes.md` (ffmpeg recipes)

**Siblings archived:** `ebook-management`, `youtube-automation`

### Skills left alone (already class-level umbrellas or no cluster)
- `academic-research` — broad research skill with legal, professor profiling, and Austrian source subsections.
- `daily-dose` — single focused PWA skill; no narrow siblings.
- `esp32-desk-dashboard` — single maker-electronics skill with rich references; no cluster.
- `home-assistant` — broad smart-home umbrella with Zigbee, Tuya, WiFi, API subsections.
- `reddit` — standalone social-media research skill; its content for video sourcing was absorbed into the media umbrella, but it serves broader use cases.
- `zimaos-administration` — broad server-admin umbrella with SSH, Docker, Tailscale, audit subsections.
- `zimaos-web-app` — broad web-app development umbrella with CasaOS deployment patterns.
