dj - SKILL.md Agent Skill

name: dj description: "DJ — auto-picks the best genre for your session" model: haiku allowed-tools: Bash

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

DJ

Alias for /vibe. Auto-detect the right music based on what's happening in the current session.

Instructions

You have the full conversation context. Pick the best music and play it in ONE step. Do NOT spawn an agent or delegate.

Step 1: Read the room and pick music

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()
" > /dev/null 2>&1

Using the tags and descriptions, match the session context to the best genre. Consider:

What the user has been working on (e.g. debugging, building a feature, reviewing code)
The general mood/pace of the session
Any explicit mood signals from the user

When in doubt, lean towards relaxing genres (lofi, ambient, classical). The user prefers a chill atmosphere. Only pick high-energy genres if the session strongly suggests it.

Step 2: Play it

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

"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/music-controller.sh" play "<station name>"

Step 3: Respond

Return a message in EXACTLY this format:

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

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.
