Arcmira indexes YouTube and podcast transcripts and keeps a catalog of who is mentioned on which show, who sponsors whom, and who recommends what on air. The arcmira MCP server exposes four tools. returns the client reference: every method with its arguments and return fields, worked programs, quirks and error codes. runs a JavaScript program against the client and returns what the program returns; Premium transcripts included. runs the same client plus the monitor writes. tells Arcmira what went wrong. The arcmira CLI has commands with the same names; , and are its reference.

Use this skill when the user asks:

Use Arcmira for the indexed transcript research the user requested. Cite returned passages and keep evidence from other sources distinct. An empty result means this query returned no matches.

When the ask matches one of these, load that skill and follow its worked program:

Anything else (one video's transcript, a topic across shows, who recommends a product on air) follows the procedure below.

MONITORS. A monitor sends alerts for the entities it follows, by email to the account address or by Slack, realtime, hourly or daily. arcmira.monitors.list() lists the user's monitors and monitors.trackers(id) what one follows. Changes run only in arcmira_execute_write; nothing is deleted, and update(id, { paused: true }) pauses. Confirm the monitor and its delivery with the user before a write. create needs name and notify_frequency. Slack needs notify_slack: true and a workspace from arcmira.integrations.slack(): its id as slack_integration_id and default_channel_id as slack_channel_id; with none, the user connects one at https://arcmira.com/dashboard/integrations. addEntities takes up to 90 ids in one call. addName follows an exact name that resolve does not find (a show by its UC id). Topic spellings ("data centers", "datacenters") can be separate ids; follow each. A name may already be followed: list() and trackers(id) show what is, so check them before creating a monitor. A result with attached: false names its reason: entity_not_found, entity_type_not_trackable, tracker_limit_reached, or tracked_in_another_monitor (current_monitor_id names it; attachTrackers moves it once the user agrees). Creating a monitor uses no credits; each alert uses 25 credits from the account's plan, then its on-demand budget.

ID RULE. Filters take verbatim ids only: entity ids look like ent_14, channel ids like UC-DRzaGnL_vtBUpCFH5M0tg (UC plus 22 characters), video ids are 11 characters or a YouTube URL. A name where an id belongs throws id_required before any network call. Resolve first, then query:

const r = await arcmira.resolve("Sam", { context: "the My First Million co-host" });
const e = r.best ?? r.suggested;          // a show: resolve with { type: "channel" }, use e.youtube_channel_id
if (!e) return { ask: r.ask };            // r.ask.options: [{ id, name, type, label }]

RESOLVE ANSWERS ONE OF THREE. best: the name means that row; use it and name it. suggested: no row is certain but one stands out (suggested.reason, suggested.evidence); use it and tell the user you assumed it, quoting the evidence ("Sam Altman, assuming the most mentioned Sam: 4,399 appearances, 11x the next"). ask: several rows fit and none stands out; return ask.options for the user to pick and stop, or check every option id against the data in one program (occurrences or momentum with all the ids) and answer per row, naming each. Resolve the exact name the user said ("ICE", "Mercury"), not a paraphrase, and always pass context with the user's own words about the name when they gave any ("Sam, the My First Million co-host" is resolve("Sam", { context: "the My First Million co-host" })). Context is only words from the user's message, never your own guess: a bare "Theo" is resolve("Theo") with no context, never "Theo Von" or context "the comedian", and its ask goes back to the user. Omit type for a brand (the catalog types some companies as product). A name that resolves to nothing (no best, suggested or ask) is not in the Arcmira index: say so and ask for another spelling or a link; never answer for a different entity without saying so. Always say in the answer which entity you used.

Monitors can follow what a research turn found, and each alert uses 25 credits from the account's plan, then its on-demand budget. The skill sets one up.
