A tool for controlling Spotify, a music streaming service, through its web API. It can manage playback, search for tracks, and control the queue.

Use it to play, pause, skip, search for songs, check what is playing, or add tracks to the Spotify queue.

It avoids switching to the Spotify app for routine playback actions and music searches.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add ericwang915/PythonClaw --skill spotify

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ericwang915/PythonClaw

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00062	$0.00733
Opus 5.5	$0.00025	$0.00293
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00012	$0.00147
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00073

Security

Grade A, and why

spotify scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (spotify_ctl.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Spotify

Control Spotify playback via the Spotify Web API.

When to Use

✅ USE this skill when:

"Play some jazz music"
"Skip this song"
"What's currently playing?"
"Search for songs by The Beatles"
"Pause the music"
"Add this song to my queue"

When NOT to Use

❌ DON'T use this skill when:

Downloading or saving music → Spotify API doesn't support downloads
Apple Music or YouTube Music → different APIs/tools
Playing local audio files → use system media player
Music recognition → use specialised tools (Shazam, etc.)

Setup

Create a Spotify app at https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard
Set redirect URI to http://localhost:8888/callback
Get your Client ID and Client Secret
Configure in pythonclaw.json:

"skills": {
  "spotify": {
    "clientId": "your-client-id",
    "clientSecret": "your-client-secret"
  }
}

Run the auth flow once to get a refresh token:

python {skill_path}/spotify_ctl.py auth

Alternative: spotify-player CLI

If you have spotify_player installed (Rust-based TUI):

brew install spotify_player  # macOS

Then use it directly:

spotify_player playback play
spotify_player playback pause
spotify_player search "query"

Commands

Current playback

python {skill_path}/spotify_ctl.py now-playing

Search

python {skill_path}/spotify_ctl.py search "The Beatles" --type track
python {skill_path}/spotify_ctl.py search "Chill Vibes" --type playlist

Playback control

python {skill_path}/spotify_ctl.py play
python {skill_path}/spotify_ctl.py pause
python {skill_path}/spotify_ctl.py next
python {skill_path}/spotify_ctl.py previous

Play a specific track or playlist

python {skill_path}/spotify_ctl.py play --uri spotify:track:4iV5W9uYEdYUVa79Axb7Rh
python {skill_path}/spotify_ctl.py play --uri spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1DXcBWIGoYBM5M

Queue a track

python {skill_path}/spotify_ctl.py queue spotify:track:4iV5W9uYEdYUVa79Axb7Rh

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
