description: Print one bonmot from a random Peter Maffay song — a pick-me-up for a long refactor. Takes an optional theme keyword. Needs no repo and no git, so it works anywhere.

You are running `/maffay`. Goal: print **one** bonmot from a random Peter Maffay song.

That is the whole command. It reads nothing, writes nothing, and needs no repo — so it
works anywhere, including outside a rhiza-managed project.

**Do not pick the song yourself.** Asked to choose "at random" you will reach for
*Über sieben Brücken* and *Nessaja* almost every time, and by the third run the command
feels broken. The bundled script owns the choice, and `random.choice` over the
catalogue is uniform where you are not. Run it and relay the output verbatim.

Argument (optional): `$ARGUMENTS` — a theme keyword (`mut`, `sommer`, `nessaja`,
`liebe`, …) or part of a song title, matched case-insensitively. Anything else is
still passed through: the script reports the known themes itself on a miss, which is
more useful than you guessing what the user meant.

## 1. Draw one

`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` resolves at runtime (**keep the quotes**); in a source
checkout it's empty, so fall back to the repo-relative path.

```bash
uv run --python 3.12 --no-project python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/maffay.py" --theme "$ARGUMENTS"
```

Drop `--theme` entirely when `$ARGUMENTS` is empty — an empty theme is not the same
as no theme, and passing `--theme ""` matches everything by accident rather than by
intent.

Exit **1** means the theme matched nothing. The script has already printed the known
themes; show that and stop. Do **not** retry without the filter and pass the result
off as what they asked for, and do **not** invent a song to fill the gap.

`--seed N` makes a draw reproducible and `--list` prints the whole catalogue; both are
there for demos and tests. `--json` gives the same entry as one object if you need the
fields.

## 2. Report

Relay the three lines as printed. Two things not to blur:

- **The quoted line is the song's title line** — the hook, and the only quoted text.
  Do not extend it into a verse from memory. A title is not a protectable work; the
  lyric body is, and this command deliberately does not ship one.
- **`Für uns:` is this repo's gloss, not Maffay's words.** Keep the label. If you drop
  it the joke reads as a lyric, which is exactly the confusion the format prevents.

One bonmot per invocation. If the user wants another, run it again.
