Play

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

Play Music

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{prevgenre ? " (was playing {prevgenre})" : ""} — 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 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").
