The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈2

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Prefer using the script in scripts/ rather than retyping AppleScript.

    line 25
  2. Distinctive:

    If no matches are found, surface the script's error message to the user.

    line 26
  3. Distinctive:

    If the user needs Apple Music search/playback, ask them to add the album or track to the Library first.

    line 27

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Apple Music Player

Overview

Play a random track from the Music app's local library by artist, album, or playlist, using a bundled script that wraps AppleScript and handles errors.

Quick Start

  • Artist: scripts/play_random_music.sh --artist "JAY-Z"
  • Album: scripts/play_random_music.sh --album "TRON: Ares"
  • Playlist: scripts/play_random_music.sh --playlist "My Favorites"
  • Track: scripts/play_random_music.sh --track "Rock the Boat" --artist "XG"
  • Foreground (optional): append --foreground to bring Music to front.

Behavior Notes

  • Operates on the local Music library only; it does not search Apple Music.
  • Artist, album, and track matching use "contains" so partial names work.
  • Playlist matching requires an exact playlist name.
  • Performance path keeps Music in background by default; use --foreground only when needed.

Workflow

  1. Prefer using the script in scripts/ rather than retyping AppleScript.
  2. If no matches are found, surface the script's error message to the user.
  3. If the user needs Apple Music search/playback, ask them to add the album or track to the Library first.
