/install spotify
Description
Control Spotify playback on macOS. Play/pause, skip tracks, control volume, play artists/albums/playlists. Use when a user asks to play music, control Spotify, change songs, or adjust Spotify volume.
Usage Guidance
Install this if you want an agent to control the local Spotify desktop app on macOS. Be aware it may install or rely on the Homebrew shpotify package, and for generic requests like "play music" you may want to specify Spotify explicitly or ask the agent to confirm the music app first.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: spotify
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is benign. It uses standard macOS tools (`brew` for installing `shpotify` and `osascript` for direct Spotify control) to achieve its stated purpose of controlling Spotify playback. The instructions in SKILL.md are clear, directly related to the skill's functionality, and do not contain any prompt injection attempts or malicious commands beyond the scope of Spotify control.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The artifact consistently describes controlling Spotify playback on macOS, and the documented commands are limited to play, pause, skip, stop, volume, status, and playing Spotify URIs.
Instruction Scope
The description says to use the skill for generic requests like playing music or changing songs, which could invoke Spotify when the user did not explicitly name it; this is a scoping note, not evidence of hidden or unsafe behavior.
Install Mechanism
The install metadata discloses a Homebrew dependency on shpotify to provide the spotify CLI, which is purpose-aligned but requires trusting that external package.
Credentials
The macOS and AppleScript requirements fit the Spotify desktop-control purpose, and there is no evidence of unrelated filesystem, account, credential, or broad data access.
Persistence & Privilege
The bundle contains only SKILL.md, no executable scripts, no persistence mechanism, no privilege escalation, and no background worker behavior.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install spotify - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/spotify - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
