# Bluetooth Control

Bluetooth Control manages paired Bluetooth devices on macOS with the blu CLI. Use it to list devices, connect headphones, speakers, or keyboards, and disconnect by name or MAC address.

**Install:**

```bash
npx degit https://github.com/daxaur/openpaw/tree/main/skills/c-bluetooth ~/.claude/skills/c-bluetooth
```

## README

## What This Skill Does

Manages Bluetooth device connections on macOS using `blu` (blucli). You can list available devices, connect to a device by name or MAC address, and disconnect active devices.

## CLI Tool: `blu`

### Common Commands

```bash
# List all paired/known devices
blu list

# Connect to a device (by name or MAC)
blu connect "AirPods Pro"
blu connect AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF

# Disconnect a device
blu disconnect "AirPods Pro"
blu disconnect AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF

# Check connection status
blu status
```

## Usage Guidelines

1. Run `blu list` first to identify the exact device name or MAC address.
2. Device names are case-sensitive — use the exact name from `blu list`.
3. If connecting by name fails, fall back to MAC address.
4. After connecting, confirm success by checking for a non-error exit code or running `blu status`.

## Notes

- `blu` only manages already-paired devices. New device pairing must be done via macOS System Settings.
- Some commands may require Bluetooth to be enabled in macOS before running.
- If `blu` is not installed: `brew install blucli`
