## What it does

The skill documents the `spogo` CLI and passes its commands to the agent. Play and pause, next and previous, searching a track, album or playlist, starting a playlist by name or URI, adding a track to the queue, setting volume, listing saved playlists — each of those goes through `spogo`.

The skill advises running `spogo status` first to see what is on. When a search returns something ambiguous, confirm the pick with you before it plays. Volume takes an integer from 0 to 100.

For any of this to work, `spogo` needs Spotify OAuth credentials already configured, and the account has to be Premium. Spotify also has to be open on at least one device — with no active client, the commands do nothing.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add daxaur/openpaw --skill c-music -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**

## What This Skill Does

Enables Claude to control Spotify playback and search music via the `spogo` CLI tool.

## Available CLI Tool: `spogo`

### Common Commands

```bash
# Play/pause toggle
spogo play
spogo pause

# Skip to next or previous track
spogo next
spogo prev

# Search and play a track
spogo search track "Bohemian Rhapsody" --play

# Search an album and play it
spogo search album "Dark Side of the Moon" --play

# Search playlists
spogo search playlist "chill vibes"

# Play a specific playlist by name or URI

```

## Usage Guidelines

- Use `spogo status` first to check what is currently playing
- When searching, confirm the result with the user before playing if ambiguous
- Volume is a 0–100 integer scale
