Home Assistant Android agent instructions upkeep. An agent skill from home-assistant/android.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Ha Android Skill Maintenance is an agent skill from home-assistant/android. Home Assistant Android agent instructions upkeep. Use when feedback contradicts or is missing from AGENTS.md or a skill, when a recurring review comment has no skill rule, when a skill statement turned stale, or when adding or renaming a skill.

Its SKILL.md is about 670 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 Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files. It works with Android and Home Assistant. The repository describes itself as: Home Assistant Companion for Android. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Feedback contradicts
  • Is missing from AGENTS.md
  • A recurring review comment has no skill rule
  • A skill statement turned stale

Example prompts

  • “/ha-android-skill-maintenance”

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 Skill Maintenance loads about 667 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 349 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~667

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 Skill Maintenance

Use this skill to keep AGENTS.md and the project skills accurate as the codebase and conventions evolve.

When to Propose an Update

Surface a skill update — don't let the learning evaporate — when:

  • The user corrects behavior that a skill should have prevented, or gives guidance no skill covers.
  • The user says a point keeps coming up in reviews, or asks you to mine review history, and no skill states the rule (mechanism over reminder).
  • A skill statement conflicts with the current code: renamed class, removed utility, changed workflow. Verify against the code before proposing the fix.
  • A convention gets decided in a PR discussion that the skills don't reflect yet.

Before proposing, read the skills that own the topic and check for an existing or conflicting rule — search the real directory .agents/skills/, not .claude/skills: that path is a symlink recursive grep won't traverse, so searching it reports false "no rule exists". A new convention that contradicts an existing rule must be surfaced as a conflict, not silently appended.

Propose the update explicitly to the user; never rewrite skills silently as a side effect of other work.

Structure

  • Skills live in .agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md with name and description frontmatter. The description gives one sentence of context then "Use when ..." triggers — never a summary of the skill's content.
  • AGENTS.md holds only always-on content: commands, condensed architecture, core standards, and the skill routing list. Detailed guidance belongs in the matching skill, and the routing list must stay in sync when a skill is added or renamed.
  • Entry points are symlinks: CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, and .junie/guidelines.md all point to AGENTS.md; .claude/skills points to .agents/skills (kept tracked via the !.claude/skills gitignore exception).
  • Keep skills concise (aim under ~800 words). State a rule once in the skill that owns the topic and cross-reference from others instead of duplicating.

Dedicated PR

Updates to AGENTS.md or the skills always ship as their own PR (for example feature/skills-update-<topic>), never mixed into a feature or fix PR. Put the evidence — review comment links, the failing example, the correction — in the PR description, not in the skill body.
