flan 7802c2c5b5 State the relationship to the TRaSH Guides outright
The layout here is theirs and the idea of scoring releases by named custom
formats is theirs; the content is not, and could not be -- their guides describe
movies and TV, where quality is a resolution and a bitrate over a runtime, and a
game release has neither. Borrowing the layout without saying so invites the
reading that this is their work, or a fork of it. It is neither, and the people
who did originate it should not have to guess which.

# depot-guides
Guide data for [Depot](https://github.com/sudolulo/depot) — custom formats, quality definitions and
quality profiles for a *games* pipeline, distributed in the repo layout guide-sync tools already
speak, so Depot gets its guide synced the same way Radarr and Sonarr get theirs.
> **Not affiliated with the TRaSH Guides.** This repository borrows their *layout* so that
> Recyclarr and similar tools work against Depot without modification, and it borrows the idea of
> scoring releases by named custom formats — both of which that project originated and deserves the
> credit for. It contains **none of their content**, and none of it would transfer if it did: their
> guides are written for movies and TV, where quality means a resolution and a bitrate over a
> runtime. A game release has no runtime, and its quality axis is which platform the release is
> for. Every definition here is written from scratch for games. For movies and TV, go to the real
> thing: <https://trash-guides.info>.
## How it plugs in
Depot ≥ 0.167.0 answers the Radarr v3 API on its normal port (`customformat`, `qualityprofile`,
`qualitydefinition` — the guide-sync surface; Prowlarr's indexer surface lives untouched beside
it). Point Recyclarr at this repo and at Depot:
```yaml
# settings.yml — add this repo as a guide source (the official guides stay for your real arrs)
resource_providers:
- name: depot-guides
type: trash-guides
clone_url: https://github.com/sudolulo/depot-guides.git
reference: main
```
```yaml
# configs/depot.yml — Depot poses as a Radarr instance
radarr:
depot:
base_url: https://YOUR-DEPOT:8760
api_key: YOUR-DEPOT-API-TOKEN
quality_definition:
type: depot
quality_profiles:
- trash_id: 5ade0fbd9afd4f1346029d08c55b7029 # Deck Ready
- trash_id: af01d5fa4d56625bc1e6fb51579cd8b7 # Archival
- trash_id: ab10102c6bdbbec1fc5613f98bb1f0dd # Console Verified
```
That's the whole configuration: each profile's `formatItems` pulls every custom format in this
repo along with it, priced by the profile's score set.
## What the mapping means
- **Qualities are platform slugs** (`pc`, `switch`, `wii`, …) — platform desirability is a game's
quality axis. Size bands ride the Radarr min/max fields as plain **GB** (games have no
minutes-of-runtime for Radarr's MB/min to divide over).
- **Custom formats** score the *kind* and *provenance* of a release (repacker, scene group,
DRM-free, verified dump set, region), grounded in the release grammar games trackers actually
emit. Junk (rip portals, online-fix swaps, foreign-only repacks) scores low enough that a
profile minimum refuses it.
- **Score sets**: `default` (Deck-first), `archival` (clean files; repacks score down),
`console` (verified dumps gate entry).
- **Regex dialect is Python `re`** (Depot's matcher), not .NET — this guide feeds Depot even
though it travels over the Radarr-shaped protocol.
## Editing
`tools/gen.py` is the single source of truth — edit the catalog there and run
`python3 tools/gen.py` from the repo root; it rewrites `docs/json/depot/**` and `metadata.json`
deterministically (trash_ids are md5 of stable slugs and never churn).
