Search, play, and control Spotify from the terminal efficiently.
The material indicates this is essentially prompt-style guidance for operating locally installed Spotify CLI/TUI tools, with no declared fixed remote endpoint or standalone API key requirement, so overall risk is low. Caution is still warranted because it involves browser cookie import, Spotify account configuration, and local config directory access.
The material says there are no environment variables or API keys, but the README mentions importing Spotify-related browser cookies via `spogo auth import --browser chrome`, and `spotify_player` may use a user `client_id` in config. This means the tool can handle account authentication material; while typical for this category, cookie, client_id, and local config leakage should be guarded against.
The checks show no declared remote endpoint, but the tool’s purpose is Spotify playback/search, so the underlying client will inherently communicate with Spotify services. There is no evidence in the material of exfiltration to unknown or unrelated third-party endpoints, so this appears to be ordinary network use consistent with its stated function.
The system classifies it as prompt-only; the material is primarily usage guidance and does not describe the Skill itself installing, downloading, or executing arbitrary code. While it instructs users to invoke locally installed `spogo`/`spotify_player`, the Skill itself does not appear to add execution privileges based on the provided material.
The README explicitly references the config directory `~/.config/spotify-player` and involves browser cookie import plus reading/writing user configuration (such as `app.toml` and `client_id`). This is local data access aligned with its function, and there is no evidence of broader system access beyond the stated use.
The source is an open-source GitHub repository, and the system marks it as open-source with extremely high community adoption (~377k stars), which are strong risk-lowering signals. The license and maintenance status are not explicit, and the README references two external tools (`spogo` and `spotify_player`), so actual install sources should still be verified, but no clear supply-chain red flags are evident from the current material.

Search for the song "Numb" in terminal Spotify, list the top 5 results, and play the most relevant one.
A list of matching tracks is returned, and the most relevant result starts playing.
Open my Spotify playlist named "Deep Focus" and start playback; if there are duplicates, prefer the one I created.
The target playlist is found and continuous playback begins.
Pause the current track, resume after 10 seconds, then skip to the next song and show the current playback info.
Playback is paused, resumed, skipped forward, and the current track status is displayed.
Use spogo (preferred) for Spotify playback/search. Fall back to spotify_player if needed.
