Discovery & Playlist Builder

bash

# Find new music by genre profile
python3 ~/.openclaw/scripts/spotify.py discover

# Expand from specific artist (depth=hops, n=tracks per artist)
python3 ~/.openclaw/scripts/spotify.py discover "Portishead" 3 3

# Related artists
python3 ~/.openclaw/scripts/spotify.py related-artists "The Cure" 10

# Top tracks of any artist
python3 ~/.openclaw/scripts/spotify.py artist-top-tracks "Massive Attack" 5

# Create playlist from top tracks (one command: creates + fills)
python3 ~/.openclaw/scripts/spotify.py make-playlist "Top March 2026" short 20

# Manage playlists
python3 ~/.openclaw/scripts/spotify.py create-playlist "My Playlist" "Description"
python3 ~/.openclaw/scripts/spotify.py add-to-playlist PLAYLIST_ID URI1 URI2

Note: Spotify's recommendations and audio_features APIs are blocked for new developer apps (return 403/404). This skill uses related_artists + artist_top_tracks for discovery instead.

Agent Tips

• Use playlists to list user's playlists with IDs before playing one
• Use now to confirm what's playing after a play command
• Use liked-by-artist to find tracks for a themed playlist
• Chain: related-artists → artist-top-tracks → add-to-playlist for smart playlist building
• genres long gives the most accurate taste profile
