What it does

Reconcile Docs is an agent skill from Apocrathia/home-assistant-config. Sync docs/ with Home Assistant packages and project reality, and delete satisfied docs/issues and docs/plans in the shipping change. Use after package/layout changes or when asked to update docs.

Its SKILL.md is about 900 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. It works with Home Assistant and Git. The repository describes itself as: Apocrathia's Home Assistant Configuration Files.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/reconcile-docs”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Update human docs
  2. Delete-on-ship
  3. Verify and 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Reconcile Docs loads about 904 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 227 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~904

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 227 words (~904 tokens).

“Bring docs/ in line with the live Homelab config and package layout. Also run the issue/plan delete-on-ship cleanup when acceptance is met.”
