**The Fire-and-Forget Music Player for Developers.**

Yit (YouTube in Terminal) is a lightweight, headless, terminal-based audio player designed for flow states. It allows you to search, queue, and control music directly from your CLI without ever touching a browser or a heavy GUI.

It runs in the background (daemonized), meaning you can close your terminal, switch tabs, or keep coding while the music plays.

---

## 🚀 Features

*   **Daemon Architecture**: The player runs as a detached background process. Your terminal is never blocked.
*   **Instant Search**: Uses `yt-dlp` to fetch metadata in milliseconds.
*   **Smart Queue**: Manage your playlist (`add`, `next`, `back`, `Loop`) with simple commands.
*   **Cross-Platform**: Works natively on **Windows**, **macOS**, and **Linux**.
*   **Agent-Native**: Built from the ground up to be controlled by AI Agents (Vibe Coding).

---

## 📦 Installation

```bash
pip install yit-player
```

### Requirements
Yit uses **[mpv](https://mpv.io/)** as its audio engine.
*   **Windows**: Yit will attempt to auto-install it via `winget` if missing.
*   **macOS**: `brew install mpv`
*   **Linux**: `sudo apt install mpv` (or your distro's equivalent).

## ⚡ Quick Start

### 1. Search & Play
```bash
# Search for a song
yit search "lofi hip hop"

# Auto-play the first result immediately
yit search "daft punk" -p
```

### 2. Control Playback
```bash
yit pause    # (or 'p')
yit resume   # (or 'r')
yit toggle   # Toggle play/pause
yit stop     # Kill the player
```

### 3. Queue Management
```bash
yit add 1    # Add result #1 from your last search to the queue
yit queue    # Show the current playlist
yit next     # Skip track (or 'n')
yit back     # Previous track (or 'b')
yit clear    # Wipe the queue
```

### 4. Looping
```bash
yit loop     # Loop the current track indefinitely
yit unloop   # Return to normal playback
```

### 5. Status
```bash
yit status   # Check if currently Playing/Paused/Looped
```

## 🤖 For AI Agents & Vibe Coding

Yit is designed to be **self-documenting** for AI context.
If you are building an AI agent or using an LLM in your IDE:

1.  **Read context**: Point your agent to [AI_INSTRUCTIONS.md](AI_INSTRUCTIONS.md) (included in the repo).
2.  **Discovery**: Run `yit commands` to get a JSON list of all capabilities.
3.  **State**: Run `yit agent` to get the full player state (Track, Time, Queue) in pure JSON.

**Example Agent Output (`yit agent`):**
```json
{
  "status": "playing",
  "track": {
    "title": "Never Gonna Give You Up",
    "url": "https://..."
  },
  "position": 45.2,
  "duration": 212.0,
  "queue_length": 5
}
```

## 🛠️ Architecture

*   **Client**: Python CLI (`yit`) handles argument parsing and user signals.
*   **Daemon**: A detached `mpv` process handles audio decoding and network streaming.
*   **Communication**: IPC (Inter-Process Communication) via Named Pipes (Windows) or Unix Sockets (Linux/Mac).
*   **Persistence**: `~/.yit/history.json` stores your playback history and queue metadata.
