description

Discover music, get personalized recommendations, and download high-fidelity audio files. Use when user wants to find new music based on their taste, search for songs/albums/artists, get recommendations similar to artists they like, or download lossless audio (FLAC/Hi-Res) from Qobuz or TIDAL. Trigger phrases include "find music like", "recommend songs", "download album", "lossless", "Hi-Res", "FLAC", "music discovery", "similar artists", "setup music".

MusicMaster

Music discovery (Spotify, Last.fm) and Hi-Res audio downloads (Qobuz, TIDAL) through a unified CLI.

Language

Match user's language: Respond in the same language the user uses.

All commands use bash ${SKILL_PATH}/run.sh <script> [args...], which activates the venv and runs the corresponding Python script. Output is human-readable by default; use --json where supported for structured output.

First-Time Setup

Step 1: Check Dependencies

bash ${SKILL_PATH}/scripts/setup.sh check

Output is key=value pairs. If VENV=missing, run install first.

Step 2: Install

bash ${SKILL_PATH}/scripts/setup.sh install [--with-qobuz] [--with-tidal]

Creates .venv, installs core dependencies (spotipy, pylast, requests, python-dotenv), and optionally installs download backends.

Step 3: Configure Credentials

IMPORTANT: Do NOT ask the user for credentials in chat. Instead:

1. Create .env from template if not exists: cp ${SKILL_PATH}/.env.example ${SKILL_PATH}/.env
2. Tell user to edit ${SKILL_PATH}/.env with their credentials
3. Wait for confirmation, then verify with Step 4

Where to get credentials:

• Spotify: https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard (free)
• Last.fm: https://www.last.fm/api/account/create (free)
• Qobuz: Requires Studio/Sublime subscription
• TIDAL: Run tiddl auth login in venv for OAuth (no .env entry needed)

Step 4: Verify

bash ${SKILL_PATH}/run.sh status

Shows which services are READY, DISABLED, or need setup. Only use services marked READY.

Preflight Check → Fix Table

Check	Fix (macOS)	Fix (Linux)
PYTHON=missing	brew install python3	sudo apt install python3
VENV=missing	bash ${SKILL_PATH}/scripts/setup.sh install	Same
Core deps missing (SPOTIPY, PYLAST, etc.)	bash ${SKILL_PATH}/scripts/setup.sh install --force	Same
ENV_FILE=missing	cp ${SKILL_PATH}/.env.example ${SKILL_PATH}/.env then edit	Same
Spotify: NOT CONFIGURED	Edit .env: set SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID and SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET	Same
Last.fm: NOT CONFIGURED	Edit .env: set LASTFM_API_KEY	Same
Qobuz: NOT CONFIGURED	Edit .env: set QOBUZ_EMAIL and QOBUZ_PASSWORD	Same
TIDAL: NOT CONFIGURED	Run tiddl auth login inside the venv	Same
Spotify/Last.fm/Qobuz: ERROR (validation failed)	Check credentials in .env are correct, re-obtain from dashboard if needed	Same
TIDAL: ERROR (token expired)	Run tiddl auth refresh or tiddl auth login inside the venv	Same

Service Types

Type	Services	Purpose
Discovery	Spotify, Last.fm	Search, recommendations, similar artists
Downloads	Qobuz, TIDAL	High-quality audio (FLAC, Hi-Res)

Degradation Strategy

All 4 services (Spotify, Last.fm, Qobuz, TIDAL) are optional. After running status, apply this table:

Scenario	Strategy
No Last.fm	Skip & continue — Use Spotify only for discovery
No Spotify	Skip & continue — Use Last.fm only for discovery
No discovery services at all	Halt & guide — Tell user at least one discovery service is needed and guide setup
No Qobuz	Auto-fallback — Use TIDAL for downloads
No TIDAL	Auto-fallback — Use Qobuz for downloads
No download services at all	Discovery only — Inform user that downloads are unavailable, continue with discovery features only

When a fallback is used, tell the user which service is being used and why.

Discovery Commands

Last.fm — Similar Artists

bash ${SKILL_PATH}/run.sh lastfm_artists "Radiohead"

Returns a list of similar artists with match scores.

Last.fm — Similar Tracks

bash ${SKILL_PATH}/run.sh lastfm_tracks "Karma Police" "Radiohead"

Arguments: track name, then artist name.

Last.fm — Taste Profile

bash ${SKILL_PATH}/run.sh lastfm_taste

Returns the user's top artists and tracks from listening history.

Spotify — Search

bash ${SKILL_PATH}/run.sh spotify_search "OK Computer"

Searches Spotify catalog for tracks, albums, and artists.

Spotify — User Library

bash ${SKILL_PATH}/run.sh spotify_user tracks|artists

Gets the user's saved tracks or followed artists (requires OAuth).

Spotify — Track/Album Info

bash ${SKILL_PATH}/run.sh spotify_info SPOTIFY_URI_OR_ID

Download Commands

Search Platform Catalog

bash ${SKILL_PATH}/run.sh platform_search "Album Name" -p qobuz|tidal

Searches the download platform's catalog. Returns IDs for use with download command.

Download (async — returns immediately)

bash ${SKILL_PATH}/run.sh platform_download ID -p qobuz|tidal -t album|track

Queues the download in a background process and returns a download_id immediately. The agent is free to continue other work. Use download_status to poll progress.

To block until the download completes (legacy behavior):

bash ${SKILL_PATH}/run.sh platform_download ID -p qobuz -t album --sync

Check Download Status

bash ${SKILL_PATH}/run.sh download_status DOWNLOAD_ID
bash ${SKILL_PATH}/run.sh download_status --all
bash ${SKILL_PATH}/run.sh download_status --active
bash ${SKILL_PATH}/run.sh download_status --json

Poll the status of a specific download or list all downloads. Use --active to show only pending/in_progress tasks. Use --json for structured output.

Open Download Dashboard

bash ${SKILL_PATH}/run.sh download_ui

Opens a web dashboard at http://localhost:8765 showing real-time download status with progress bars. Auto-refreshes every 3 seconds.

Service Management

Disable a Service

bash ${SKILL_PATH}/run.sh disable_service spotify --reason "No account"

Enable a Service

bash ${SKILL_PATH}/run.sh enable_service spotify

Workflow — Music Discovery

1. Run status to check available services
2. Use lastfm_artists or lastfm_tracks to find similar music
3. Use spotify_search to look up specific tracks/albums
4. Present results to user in a clear table format
5. If user wants to download, use platform_search → platform_download

Workflow — Download Hi-Res Audio

Print this checklist at the start, update as you go:

Download Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Check service status
- [ ] Step 2: Search platform catalog
- [ ] Step 3: Present results to user
- [ ] Step 4: Start download
- [ ] Step 5: Monitor progress
- [ ] Step 6: Verify completion
- [ ] Step 7: Report results

1. Run status to confirm download service is READY
2. Search: platform_search "Album Name" -p qobuz
3. Present results with quality info
4. Download: platform_download ID -p qobuz -t album (returns download_id immediately)
5. Tell user download is queued, optionally open download_ui for visual monitoring
6. Poll with download_status DOWNLOAD_ID until completed
7. Report using the completion report template below

Completion Report

After a download finishes, present this report to the user:

MusicMaster Download Complete!

Input: [album/track] - [title] by [artist]
Platform: [Qobuz/TIDAL]
Quality: [Hi-Res 24-bit / FLAC 16-bit / etc.]

Result:
- Track count: [N tracks]
- Total size: [X MB]
- Download path: [/path/to/files]

Files:
- [file1.flac] (XX MB)
- [file2.flac] (XX MB)
- ...

Next Steps:
- Open folder: open "[download path]"
- Download more: "download [another album]"

Gather file paths and sizes from the download_status output and by listing the download directory.

Error Handling

Error	Detection	Resolution
Venv missing	run.sh exits with venv_missing	Run bash ${SKILL_PATH}/scripts/setup.sh install
Service not configured	status shows NOT CONFIGURED	Guide user to edit ${SKILL_PATH}/.env (see Preflight Check -> Fix Table)
Spotify OAuth expired	Spotify commands fail with auth error	Run bash ${SKILL_PATH}/run.sh spotify_auth to re-authorize
TIDAL token expired	status shows ERROR for TIDAL	Run tiddl auth refresh or tiddl auth login in venv
Service disabled by user	status shows DISABLED	Run enable_service if user wants to re-enable
No results	Search returns empty	Try different keywords or check service availability

Important Notes

• Spotify requires OAuth browser flow on first use (spotify_auth script handles this)
• TIDAL auth is managed by tiddl CLI tool, not stored in .env
• Qobuz credentials are stored in .env (sensitive — ensure file is in .gitignore)
• Download paths default to ~/Music/Qobuz and ~/Music/TIDAL
• Quality settings: Qobuz 27=Hi-Res 24-bit (highest), TIDAL HiFi=lossless
