This walkthrough shows Fliiq’s self-generating skill capability in action. A user asked for a Spotify playlist, and the agent built the entire integration mid-conversation.

​
The Request

User: Create a chill jazz playlist on my Spotify with 15 tracks

​
What Happened

​
1. Gap Detection

The agent scanned its available skills and found no Spotify integration. It immediately offered to build one: 
Agent: I don't have a Spotify integration skill. I can build one that
       connects to the Spotify Web API for creating playlists, searching
       tracks, and adding tracks. Want me to create it?

​
2. API Research

After getting approval, the agent used web_search and web_fetch to read the Spotify Web API documentation:
  • Endpoint for creating playlists: POST /v1/users/{user_id}/playlists
  • Endpoint for searching tracks: GET /v1/search?type=track
  • Endpoint for adding tracks: POST /v1/playlists/{playlist_id}/tracks
  • Authentication: Bearer token with appropriate scopes

​
3. Template Reference

The agent read the existing web_search skill as a template for the 3-file format, noting the pattern of SKILL.md + fliiq.yaml + main.py.

​
4. Skill Generation

The agent generated three files: SKILL.md — Metadata and usage instructions for the LLM: 
---
name: spotify
description: "Create and manage Spotify playlists using the Spotify Web API."
---

Use this tool to create playlists, add tracks, and search for music on Spotify.

## Available Actions
- create_playlist: Create a new playlist
- search_tracks: Search for tracks to add to playlists
- add_tracks_to_playlist: Add tracks to an existing playlist
fliiq.yaml — Input schema with action-based routing: 
input_schema:
  type: object
  properties:
    action:
      type: string
      enum: ["create_playlist", "search_tracks", "add_tracks_to_playlist"]
    name:
      type: string
      description: "Playlist name"
    query:
      type: string
      description: "Search query for tracks"
    playlist_id:
      type: string
    track_uris:
      type: array
      items:
        type: string
  required:
    - action

credentials:
  - SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID
  - SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET
  - SPOTIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN
main.py — Full async handler with three operations, error handling, and batch support for adding tracks (100 per batch, matching Spotify’s API limit).

​
5. Installation & Usage

The agent installed the skill via the install_skill tool, then immediately:
  1. Called spotify with action: search_tracks, query: "chill jazz" — found 15 tracks
  2. Called spotify with action: create_playlist, name: "Chill Jazz" — created the playlist
  3. Called spotify with action: add_tracks_to_playlist — added all 15 tracks
  4. Returned the playlist URL to the user

​
Credential Setup

The agent prompted the user to set up Spotify credentials:
  1. Create an app at developer.spotify.com/dashboard
  2. Set redirect URI to http://localhost:8888/callback
  3. Get Client ID and Client Secret
  4. Generate an access token with playlist-modify-public and playlist-modify-private scopes
.env
SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID=...
SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET=...
SPOTIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN=...

​
The Skill Today

This self-generated Spotify skill was later promoted to a core skill. It now ships with every Fliiq installation: 
fliiq skill-list
# spotify  (core)  Create and manage Spotify playlists

​
Try It Yourself

fliiq run "Search Spotify for 'lo-fi hip hop' and create a study playlist"
Or ask Fliiq to build a skill for any API you need: 
fliiq run "I need to post messages to my Slack workspace"
# Agent: I don't have a Slack skill. Want me to build one?
