## What the Agent Does

The agent maintains a personal watchlist in persistent memory. When you add a title, it searches TMDB for metadata (release date, type, status). It tracks each item with a status: want to watch, watching, or done. On demand it checks upcoming releases and alerts you when something from your list is coming out within 7 days. You can ask it to recommend what to watch next based on your list, or search for something new by genre or mood.
