What it does

Implement Change is an agent skill from Apocrathia/home-assistant-config. One change lap for Home Assistant Homelab: scope, edit, validate, hand off with a suggested Conventional Commit. Use when implementing a config fix, package change, plan checkbox, or agent-context update.

Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Commit messages and Codebase knowledge for agents. It works with Home Assistant. The repository describes itself as: Apocrathia's Home Assistant Configuration Files.

When your agent uses it

  • Implementing a config fix
  • Agent-context update

Example prompts

  • “/implement-change”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Frame scope
  2. Edit
  3. Validate
  4. Docs ledger
  5. Hand off

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e28308a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Implement Change loads about 811 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 182 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~811

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 182 words (~811 tokens).

“One logical change from request to operator handoff. Edit only in the main checkout (worktrees.md). Do not commit, push, or open PRs unless the operator explicitly asks (operator-owned-git.md).”
