Instructions

1. Parse $ARGUMENTS to determine the operation (first word) and its parameters:

   • list — no additional arguments needed
   • create — extract --name and optionally --desc from arguments
   • rename — extract --playlist-id and --name
   • delete — extract --playlist-id
   • add-album — extract --playlist-id and --album-id
   • add-track — extract --playlist-id and --track-id
   • remove-track — extract --playlist-id and --track-id
   • If no operation given, show usage: /tidal-playlist <list|create|rename|delete|add-album|add-track|remove-track> [options]

2. Run the appropriate command and parse JSON output:

   • list → format as table with columns ID, Name, Tracks
   • create → confirm: "Playlist created: <name> (ID: <id>)"
   • rename → confirm: "Playlist renamed: <old_name> → <new_name>"
   • delete → confirm: "Playlist <name> (ID: <id>) deleted."
   • add-album → confirm: "<tracks_added> track(s) from album <album> added to playlist <playlist>."
   • add-track → confirm: "Track <track> added to playlist <playlist>."
   • remove-track → confirm: "Track <track> removed from playlist <playlist>."

3. If required arguments are missing for an operation, show a usage hint specific to that operation.

Error Handling

• If exit code is non-zero, read stderr:

  • "Error: Playlist not found" → "Playlist not found (ID: <id>). Use /tidal-playlist list to see your playlists."
  • "Error: Track not found in playlist" → "Track (ID: <id>) is not in this playlist."
  • "Error: Playlist name cannot be empty" → "Please provide a non-empty playlist name."
  • "Error: Unable to connect to Tidal" → "Network error: unable to reach Tidal. Check your internet connection."
  • Any other error → display the raw error message with label "Error:"
