## 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`
