 "title": "Control Spotify playback and playlists with Hermes",
 "page_title": "How to control Spotify playback and playlists with Hermes with Hermes Official Plugins",
 "summary": "Add the Spotify plugin so Hermes can search, play, queue and manage your library and playlists.",
 "who": "A music listener who wants to control playback or manage playlists by asking an agent, with a Spotify Premium account.",
 "problem": "Switching devices, building queues and finding tracks in the Spotify app takes many steps for simple requests.",
 "outcome": "Hermes searches the catalog, controls playback on Spotify Connect devices, edits the queue and updates playlists.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `hermes plugins install spotify`.",
  "Create your own Spotify developer app, since the plugin uses it for login.",
  "Run `hermes spotify login` to complete the loopback PKCE login with your app.",
  "Ask Hermes to search for a track and list your Spotify Connect devices with spotify_search and spotify_devices.",
  "Confirm playback control works; the README says it needs Premium."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the repo NousResearch/hermes-official-plugins, install the spotify plugin and log in with `hermes spotify login` using my own developer app. Ask Hermes to search for <track or artist> with spotify_search and list devices with spotify_devices. Expected output is a search result list and a device list; verify that the device list shows the device you are using.",
