Sink management

peepshow supports auto-sinks — persistent sink definitions in ~/.peepshow/sinks.json that run on every extract. This skill manages that list on the user's behalf.

Detect intent

User says	Run
"list sinks" / "which sinks are active" / "show sinks"	peepshow sinks list
"enable folder sink at /Volumes/Shared" / "add folder sink"	peepshow sinks add folder:/Volumes/Shared
"enable mysql sink"	peepshow sinks add mysql (reminder: sink needs DATABASE_URL in env)
"add custom sink: "	peepshow sinks add-cmd '<command>'
"add X but only for .mp4/.mov files"	peepshow sinks add <spec> --when extension=mp4,mov
"add X for videos under /Videos/"	peepshow sinks add <spec> --when path=/Videos/
"add X for films directed by Kubrick"	peepshow sinks add <spec> --when director=Kubrick
"add X when filename matches vacation"	peepshow sinks add <spec> --when filename='*vacation*'
"remove sink 2" / "disable the mysql one"	First peepshow sinks list, then peepshow sinks remove <n>
"clear all sinks" / "disable all sinks"	peepshow sinks clear
"turn off sinks for this video only"	Tell the user to pass --no-auto-sinks on the next invocation — do not touch the config

Notes

• Always run peepshow sinks list after any mutation to confirm the new state.
• <name> maps to an executable peepshow-sink-<name> on $PATH. Extra colon-separated tokens become positional args (folder:/tmp/shared → peepshow-sink-folder /tmp/shared).
• The sink count is shown live in the Claude Code statusline badge, e.g. [PEEPSHOW|3s] means three auto-sinks are active.
• Sinks receive the full peepshow JSON payload on stdin (including container tags: title, director, producer, copyright, etc.) — mention this when the user is choosing what to persist.
• Conditional matching (--when): extension/filename/path/container/codec + any video metadata tag (director, genre, show, producer, publisher, …). Multiple --when flags AND together; values inside one clause (e.g. ext=mp4,mov) are ORed. Example: peepshow sinks add folder:/cinema --when director=Kubrick --when extension=mp4 = "archive Kubrick mp4s only".

Troubleshooting

• "sink failed (exit N)" during a run → the sink's binary isn't on $PATH (for --sink <name>) or the shell command is wrong (for --sink-cmd). Fix by peepshow sinks remove <n> and re-adding with the correct spec, or by installing the missing binary.
• "no auto-sinks configured" → file doesn't exist yet. Any add command creates it.
