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.

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 2d 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.

Spotify

Control the user's Spotify account via the Cogitum Spotify toolset (7 tools). Setup guide: https://cogitum.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.
