Install in OpenClaw
/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 shpotify through Homebrew, and for generic music requests you may want to explicitly say whether Spotify should be used.
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 activation text includes generic requests like “play music” and “change songs,” which could be broader than Spotify-specific intent, but the behavior is disclosed and limited to local Spotify control.
Install Mechanism
The install metadata discloses a Homebrew install of the shpotify package to provide the spotify CLI; this is purpose-aligned but requires trusting that external package.
Credentials
macOS, AppleScript, optional web search for Spotify URLs, and Spotify desktop control fit the stated purpose; there is no evidence of unrelated filesystem, credential, account, or broad data access.
Persistence & Privilege
The bundle contains only a markdown skill file, no executable scripts, no background worker, no persistence mechanism, and no privilege escalation instructions.
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
