Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by spinabot on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Sonoscli AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/spinabot/brigade.git /tmp/brigade
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/brigade/skills/sonoscli .claude/skills/sonoscli

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Sonoscli in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Sonoscli on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Sonoscli is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Sonos CLI

Use sonos to control Sonos speakers on the local network.

Quick start

sonos discover
sonos status --name "Kitchen"
sonos play|pause|stop --name "Kitchen"
sonos volume set 15 --name "Kitchen"

Common tasks

Grouping: sonos group status|join|unjoin|party|solo
Favorites: sonos favorites list|open
Queue: sonos queue list|play|clear
Spotify search (via SMAPI): sonos smapi search --service "Spotify" --category tracks "query"

Notes

If SSDP fails, specify --ip <speaker-ip>.
Spotify Web API search is optional and requires SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID/SECRET.
If there is an error, check the troubleshooting section and offer advice if there is a decent match.

Troubleshooting

`sonos discover` - `no route to host`

On error Error: write udp4 0.0.0.0:64326->239.255.255.250:1900: sendto: no route to host (Command exited with code 1)
- Note that the port number after 0.0.0.0: is ephemeral and will change and the netmask may not match exactly either
- The sendto: no route to host should stay consistent
Advise the user that in direct (no Docker sandbox) mode on Mac OS that Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Local Network will need to be enabled for the top-level host parent process of the Gateway
- node if running via launchd
- Terminal if running the gateway directly in the terminal
- Visual Studio Code if running via terminal in VS Code
An alternative option is to use sandbox (docker container) with network access allowed for that sandbox

`sonos discover` - `bind: operation not permitted`

On error Error: listen udp4 0.0.0.0:0: bind: operation not permitted
Advise the user that they may be running via a the agent or other sandbox that does not permit network access (this can be replicated by running sonos discover within a the agent CLI session with sandbox enabled and not approving the escalation request)

Frequently asked questions

What does the Sonoscli AI skill do?

Control Sonos speakers (discover/status/play/volume/group).

Why use Sonoscli on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Sonoscli is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Sonoscli in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/spinabot/brigade/tree/main/skills/sonoscli. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Sonoscli?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Sonoscli?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Sonoscli with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Sonoscli AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by spinabot under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
