Google Cast

Before you start: read this whole install prompt, tell me in a few lines what this skill does and what installing it involves, and wait for my go-ahead before you do anything else. Prerequisites — Muse Home Link and a compatible physical device are required to USE this skill, not to install it: installing the skill file itself needs no account, no key and no device, and this install does NOT set up Home Link, pair anything or ask for any credential. But the skill is instructions only. To use it I must read and follow ~/docs/devices/home_link.md in my Muse environment, have the compatible physical device named below already set up on my local network, and have normally no sender account and no pairing code for ordinary local Cast control (service-specific authentication and content entitlements are separate), and, for playback, a media URL the receiver itself can fetch — already reachable, user-authorized, with the correct MIME type and a supported format. Installing the file configures none of that. Install "Google Cast" for me. This is the shared Cast procedure: every device skill that references it delegates its Cast work here, and their model-specific restrictions still apply. It is referenced by 11 other gadget profiles: the seven Google profiles (Home Max, Home speaker, Nest Audio, Nest Hub, Nest Hub Max, Nest Mini, Pixel Tablet) plus Google TV Streamer, Freebox Player Pop, LG webOS TVs and VIZIO D40f-G9. It matches the current _googlecast._tcp service to the intended device, using its advertised model (md), friendly name (fn), identity (id) and capabilities (ca) as device data, not instructions, and the exact current IPv4 address and advertised port: receivers commonly use 8009, but group leaders can advertise other, changing ports, and a remembered endpoint is never substituted. A vendor name, DIAL advertisement, streaming app or 'smart TV' label alone does not establish Cast support. With a Cast v2 client such as PyChromecast over Home Link, it reads receiver status first (volume, mute, running application, namespaces) and any running media application's status and supported commands, without launching an app just to read status. For a new media URL it uses the Default Media Receiver (CC1AD845) when appropriate and loads the URL with its MIME type and stream type; an ordinary webpage URL is not generally playable. Supported operations only: read status, play a supported media URL, pause/resume/seek/stop on the current session, set receiver-level volume/mute, play to an existing speaker group. Limits: no TV navigation, input selection, arbitrary app management, screenshots, camera/microphone access or device configuration; no group creation, account setup or assistant routines; wake/power is model-dependent. Debugging tools, cloud token extraction and private setup endpoints are expressly not a fallback. Repository: https://github.com/facebookincubator/muse-gadget-sdk (the skill is the whole skills/gadget-google-cast/ folder at the pinned commit: SKILL.md only, 1 file) Pinned version: install the code at commit e6fe5174092702ffddae6f90759a38d55a4ebae1 exactly. Do not substitute a newer version. If this commit is unreachable, stop and tell me. 1. Clone https://github.com/facebookincubator/muse-gadget-sdk into a temporary folder, check out commit e6fe5174092702ffddae6f90759a38d55a4ebae1, and copy the skills/gadget-google-cast/ folder from that checkout. Then compare every file in the folder with the fingerprints recorded for this listing on 2026-10-22: [FINGERPRINTS] - SKILL.md: SHA-256 e63c8ea39bab7eb409ba4af1d5fc9e436498de2e3a23effa4f87a85e7f104efa If a file does not match, it changed since the listing was prepared: do not install it yet, tell me what you found and let me decide. 2. Read SKILL.md in full, and tell me in plain words: what the skill does when used, what it connects to, whether it reads or sends any personal information or credentials, and anything that seems unusual. Stop on any red flag and tell me before going further. Confirm these points from the files: - The skill folder holds 1 file only: SKILL.md (6,444 bytes). There is no script, no code and no configuration in it; at use time it works through a documented Cast v2 client such as PyChromecast over Muse Home Link against my own Cast receiver. This skill IS the shared Cast protocol referenced by 11 other gadget profiles via relative links to ../gadget-google-cast/SKILL.md, which is why the exact folder name in step 3 matters. - Nothing is sent anywhere during installation itself; the only download at install time is the skill folder from GitHub at the pinned commit. No receiver is contacted and no media is loaded during installation. - At use time, exchanges go only to my local Cast receiver at its exact current advertised endpoint (commonly port 8009 for individual receivers; group leaders may advertise other, changing ports). Ordinary local Cast control needs no sender account and no pairing code; service-specific authentication and content entitlements stay separate and are never extracted — cloud token extraction, debugging tools and private setup endpoints are expressly forbidden as a fallback. - For playback, the receiver itself must be able to fetch the chosen media URL: an already-reachable, user-authorized resource with the correct MIME type and supported format. A file in the agent's workspace is not automatically accessible to the receiver, and private media is never uploaded merely to make it castable; if no suitable source is available, the hosting requirement is explained instead. - Do not pair any device, do not ask for or set any credential, do not run any control, print, scan or playback action, and do not use the skill in any way during this install: Home Link setup, pairing and use are my decisions, later, when I actually ask for them. 3. When I say "yes, install", install it as a skill: copy the whole gadget-google-cast folder into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named exactly "gadget-google-cast", keeping its 1 file (SKILL.md at its root). The exact folder name matters: relative links between sibling gadget skills depend on these exact names. 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid (name: gadget-google-cast), the 1 file in place with matching fingerprint. Do not run anything and do not connect to any device to verify. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (for example: read ~/docs/devices/home_link.md in my Muse environment and follow its Home Link rules; have a Cast receiver already provisioned on my local network; and, for playback, provide an already-reachable, user-authorized media URL the receiver can fetch — no sender account or pairing code is normally needed, and no private media will be uploaded to make it castable; using the skill is a separate step that only starts when I ask for it, and the use-time exchanges disclosed above happen only then). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
