Control Spotify playback on any Linux device via command line, requiring Spotify Premium and an active Spotify session on another device.
Control Spotify playback on any Linux device via command line, requiring Spotify Premium and an active Spotify session on another device.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
A simple command-line interface for controlling Spotify playback from a Raspberry Pi (or any Linux system).

When using this tool on behalf of a user: Always search first before playing. Use spotify search "query" to see results. Verify the match - confirm with the user that the search results match what they were looking for. Then play - once confirmed, use spotify play "exact song name artist" with the correct title/artist from the search results. This avoids playing the wrong song due to Spotify's fuzzy search matching. Example workflow: # User asks: "play voice actor u projected 2" # Step 1: Search first spotify search "voice actor u projected 2" # Results show: "U Projected 2 - Voice Actor, Yarrow.co" # Step 2: Confirm with user that this is the right song # Step 3: Play with exact match spotify play "U Projected 2 Voice Actor"
This CLI controls playback on an existing Spotify session. You need Spotify open on another device (phone, computer, or https://open.spotify.com). The CLI sends commands to that device - audio plays there, not on the Pi. Requires Spotify Premium for playback control.
Open Spotify on your phone/computer and play something, then try again.
Make sure Spotify is open on at least one device and logged into the same account.
Delete ~/.cache-* files and re-authenticate.
