Spotify for Hermes: seven tools (playback, devices, queue, search, playlists, albums, library) over the Spotify Web API, plus `hermes spotify login|status|logout` (loopback PKCE with your own Spotify developer app; Premium needed for playback control). Formerly built into Hermes core; existing users are migrated automatically.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install spotify
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable spotify
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
