Internet Archive CLI Skill

This skill enables interaction with the Internet Archive (archive.org) using the ia command-line tool from the internetarchive Python package.

Items

An item is the fundamental unit on archive.org - a logical grouping of related files sharing common metadata. An item can be a book, a song, an album, a dataset, a movie, an image or set of images, etc. Each item has a unique identifier across the entire archive.

Every item contains:

• Original uploaded files
• Derivative files (automatically generated by archive.org)
• <identifier>_meta.xml - item-level metadata
• <identifier>_files.xml - file-level metadata

Items must belong to a collection.
