Play music — start or switch genre/station

1.3 KB, as published. Nobody here has run it

This skill is part of the claude-music plugin. Only invoke when the user explicitly uses the slash command.

Start background music. Optionally specify a genre or station name (e.g. /play jazz, /play groove salad).

Run "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/music-controller.sh" play $ARGUMENTS.

If "status": "playing": ♪ Now playing {genre} — {station} ♪
- If takeover is true: prefix with Switched over from another session{prev_genre ? " (was playing {prev_genre})" : ""} — before the now-playing line
- If genre_reason is "preference": add (resumed from your last session)
- If genre_reason is "default": add (default genre — use /play <genre> to change)
- If genre_reason is "requested": no extra note needed
If error about no audio player: run the install_command (if has_sudo is true) or nosudo_hint (if false) from the JSON, then retry play automatically.
If error about both primary and fallback failing: tell the user and suggest trying /next or a different genre.

Genres: lofi, jazz, classical, ambient, electronic, synthwave, lounge, indie. Also accepts station names (e.g. "groove salad").
