What it does
Ha Android Committing is an agent skill from home-assistant/android. Home Assistant Android change finalization. Use when finishing a change, preparing to commit, updating the changelog, naming a branch, or opening a pull request.
Its SKILL.md is about 660 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 Pull requests and Changelog and release notes. It works with Android, Home Assistant and Kotlin. The repository describes itself as: Home Assistant Companion for Android. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Finishing a change
- Preparing to commit
- Updating the changelog
- Naming a branch

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

- Tests: ./gradlew test
- If the change adds a feature or changes behavior visibly for end users, add it to app/src/main/kotlin/io/homeassistant/companion/android/ch…
- After adding or updating any dependency (in gradle/libs.versions.toml or module declarations), run ./gradlew alldependencies --write-locks.
- Run the ha-android-review skill over the diff before handing it off.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5eb016f. 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.
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
Ha Android Committing loads about 658 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 344 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

HA Android Committing
Use this skill when finalizing a change and preparing it for commit or a pull request. For evaluating the code itself, use the ha-android-review skill.
Before Committing
- Format:
./gradlew :build-logic:convention:ktlintFormat ktlintFormat - Detekt:
./gradlew detektMain :build-logic:convention:detektMain --continue. Fix findings in the code you touched; never add them to adetekt-baseline*.xml(baselines only shrink as legacy findings get fixed). Refresh baselines with./gradlew detektBaselineMainonly when a rule change or detekt update invalidates them. - Tests:
./gradlew test - If the change adds a feature or changes behavior visibly for end users, add it to
app/src/main/kotlin/io/homeassistant/companion/android/changelog/ChangelogContent.kt. Small bug fixes don't get their own entry — the standing "Bug fixes and dependency updates" entry already covers them. - After adding or updating any dependency (in
gradle/libs.versions.tomlor module declarations), run./gradlew alldependencies --write-locks. - Run the
ha-android-reviewskill over the diff before handing it off.
Branch naming: feature/add-dark-mode, fix/crash-on-rotation.
Pull Requests
- Use
.github/pull_request_template.mdas the PR body. - Keep PRs small — easier to review, faster to merge. Break large changes into logical chunks; a reusable component (a new
HA*composable, a shared utility) deserves its own PR before the feature that uses it. - A PR must not contain changes unrelated to its purpose. Found a bug on the way? Open an issue and a separate PR. Revert incidental edits to files the change doesn't need.
- Pure refactor or code-move PRs must not change behavior — keep copied code as it was and fix pre-existing issues in follow-ups.
- Once a PR is open, merge
maininto the branch instead of rebasing. - Keep the PR description and screenshots up to date as the implementation evolves.
- Tests belong in the same PR as the implementation they cover, including tests moved along with moved logic.
- Features visible in
:appmust be verified on (or hidden from) Automotive and other form factors like Meta Quest. - When the Android Gradle Plugin is updated, refresh the lint baseline with
./gradlew updateLintBaseline. Never grow the baseline to silence an issue introduced by your change — fix the source or delete the unused resource instead.
