A connection that lets a coding agent control a user's Spotify account, the music streaming service, including playback, searches, playlists, devices, and saved music.

Use it to play or pause music, search tracks and artists, manage queues and playlists, move playback between devices, and save or remove tracks and albums.

It removes the need to switch between the agent and Spotify for common music tasks, such as finding a song or checking what is playing.

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	$0.00071	$0.01707
Opus 5	$0.00036	$0.00853
Sonnet 5	$0.00014	$0.00341
Haiku 4.5	$0.00007	$0.00171

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 4d ago.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

94% identical to spotify — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Spotify

Control the user's Spotify account via the Hermes Spotify toolset (7 tools). Setup guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/spotify

When to use this skill

The user says something like "play X", "pause", "skip", "queue up X", "what's playing", "search for X", "add to my X playlist", "make a playlist", "save this to my library", etc.

The 7 tools

spotify_playback — play, pause, next, previous, seek, set_repeat, set_shuffle, set_volume, get_state, get_currently_playing, recently_played
spotify_devices — list, transfer
spotify_queue — get, add
spotify_search — search the catalog
spotify_playlists — list, get, create, add_items, remove_items, update_details
spotify_albums — get, tracks
spotify_library — list/save/remove with kind: "tracks"|"albums"

Playback-mutating actions require Spotify Premium; search/library/playlist ops work on Free.

Canonical patterns (minimize tool calls)

"Play <artist/track/album>"

One search, then play by URI. Do NOT loop through search results describing them unless the user asked for options.

spotify_search({"query": "miles davis kind of blue", "types": ["album"], "limit": 1})
→ got album URI spotify:album:1weenld61qoidwYuZ1GESA
spotify_playback({"action": "play", "context_uri": "spotify:album:1weenld61qoidwYuZ1GESA"})

For "play some " (no specific song), prefer types: ["artist"] and play the artist context URI — Spotify handles smart shuffle. If the user says "the song" or "that track", search types: ["track"] and pass uris: [track_uri] to play.

"What's playing?" / "What am I listening to?"

Single call — don't chain get_state after get_currently_playing.

spotify_playback({"action": "get_currently_playing"})

If it returns 204/empty (is_playing: false), tell the user nothing is playing. Don't retry.

"Pause" / "Skip" / "Volume 50"

Direct action, no preflight inspection needed.

spotify_playback({"action": "pause"})
spotify_playback({"action": "next"})
spotify_playback({"action": "set_volume", "volume_percent": 50})

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.
