Search Spotify, check what is playing, manage playlists and library items, and control playback on available devices. The skill acts on the connected Spotify account through a command-line tool; playback requires a Premium account and an active device.
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).

See how to installSearches Spotify for tracks and manages playlists and library items through a command-line tool connected to Spotify’s Web API. You can create playlists, add tracks, follow playlists, and check your library. It can also tell you what is playing, queue a track, skip to the next track, or adjust the volume on a supported device.
Use it when you find music in Spotify and want to collect it in a playlist, add a playlist you like to your account, or check and control playback on a device. Track search is available even before account authorization; other account actions require credentials.
First-time use requires a Spotify developer app and credential setup. Playback controls require a Premium account and an active device. The skill does not provide music recommendations, generate songs, or edit audio.

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.
search works before user auth (client-credentials fallback); every other command needs the refresh token.auth (Intents/Authorize.md). The tool persists rotated refresh tokens automatically./me/playlists returns tracks: null on playlist rows (observed) — never assume tracks.total exists; the CLI omits the count when absent.follow-playlist --id <ID> (ID from the URL) and shows in playlists.create-playlist, holding the tracks search resolved, added with add-tracks.now-playing result.next / volume --percent 30 on the active Premium device.No reviews yet.

Find and fetch vendor cybersecurity reports, then compare their findings on topics such as ransomware, breaches, cloud security, and AI. Analyses identify the reports consulted and cite each figure by vendor, year, and report, including where sources disagree.
Compare a component's own design needs with the goals of the larger system through three structured passes. The result identifies conflicts, recommends an appropriate scope, and assesses whether the proposed design fits the whole.
Find quotes that fit a text’s themes, with attribution and a short reason for each suggestion. Add sourced quotes, research thinkers, and organize a quote collection by theme and usage history to avoid repetition.
Create blog illustrations, technical diagrams, comparisons, comics, and icons through workflows tailored to each format. The skill guides composition, color, and model selection, then stages generated images for review before they are used in a project.
Assess the visual quality of images, films, slides, and site captures against a brief and craft criteria. Two vision judges score the work and rank defects, guiding bounded revision; delivery is gated on a passing critique, with human calibration labels recorded separately.
