What it does
Acts on the principal's Spotify account via a deterministic CLI (Tools/Spotify.ts): search, playlists, now-playing, library, and playback across devices. USE WHEN spotify, play on spotify, add to my spotify, follow this playlist, save playlist, create a spotify playlist, add tracks, what's playing, my playlists, queue this, skip track, set volume, spotify search, control spotify, my spotify library. NOT FOR music taste or recommendations, generating songs, editing audio (AudioEditor).
Spotify
Acts on the principal's real Spotify account through Tools/Spotify.ts, a deterministic CLI that calls the Spotify Web API directly. No MCP, no server process, no session registration: any session can invoke it via Bash immediately.

Ideal State
- Every requested account change (follow, playlist build, library read, queue, playback) is one
Tools/Spotify.tscall keyed by IDs or URIs, and the account state afterwards matches the request. - Auth is set up once and never repeated by hand: tokens refresh per invocation, and a dead token or redirect mismatch is traced to its real fix (re-run
auth, or fix the dashboard URI). - Playback is attempted only on a Premium account with an active device, so a Free account still gets search, playlists and library.
Intent Routing
| Intent | Trigger | File |
|---|---|---|
| Authorize | "set up spotify", "authorize spotify", "connect spotify", auth broken | Intents/Authorize.md |
| Manage | play / search / playlists / queue / library ops | Intents/Manage.md |
| File | Read when |
|---|---|
Setup.md | first-time install: the developer app, the three .env keys, the proof command |
Tools/ | Spotify.help.md is the full flag reference (same as --help); EnvText.ts is the pure env-file helper Spotify.ts writes tokens with |
Data & Config
This skill reads no files under LIFEOS/USER/. Credentials are env-only: SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID, SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET and SPOTIFY_REFRESH_TOKEN in ~/.claude/.env (names only here, never values). First-time setup, the Spotify developer app and the proof command are in Setup.md. Tokens auto-refresh per invocation; a missing refresh token means run Intents/Authorize.md. With the credentials missing, the tool exits 1 and points at Setup.md.
