Mood

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

Mood

The user describes their mood, feeling, or what kind of music they want in their own words. The DJ interprets it and picks the best genre.

Instructions

The user said: "$ARGUMENTS"

Based on this, pick the best genre and station, then play it immediately. Do NOT spawn an agent or delegate.

Step 1: Read genres and match mood

Read the genre metadata from sources.yml:

python3 -c "
import sys
try:
    import yaml
    with open('${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/config/sources.yml') as f:
        data = yaml.safe_load(f)
except ImportError:
    sys.exit(1)
for genre, info in data.items():
    print(f'{genre}:')
    for s in info.get('stations', []):
        tags = ', '.join(s.get('tags', []))
        print(f'  - {s[\"name\"]}: {s.get(\"description\", \"\")}')
        print(f'    tags: {tags}')
    print()
"

Using the tags and descriptions, match the user's mood to the best genre.

Step 2: Play it

Pick a specific station name from the matched genre, then:

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

Step 3: Respond

Return a message in EXACTLY this format:

♪ Now playing {genre} — {station name}. {one-liner reason tied to the mood} ♪

• If takeover is true in the JSON output: prefix with Switched over from another session —
• 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.

Keep it to one line. Do not explain your reasoning.
