What it does

Ha Frontend User Facing Text is an agent skill from home-assistant/frontend. Home Assistant frontend copy, localization, terminology, and user-facing text guidance. Use when adding or reviewing labels, buttons, dialogs, errors, translations, or UI strings.

Its SKILL.md is about 800 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 Frontend & Design, covering Translation and Internationalization. It works with Home Assistant. The repository describes itself as: :lollipop: Frontend for Home Assistant. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing labels
  • Tasks that involve Translation
  • Tasks that involve Internationalization

Example prompts

  • “/ha-frontend-user-facing-text”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0e9b62e. 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 typescript).

    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 Frontend User Facing Text loads about 795 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 396 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~795

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 Frontend User-Facing Text

Use this skill for all user-facing text, translations, labels, buttons, dialog copy, errors, helper text, and review comments about wording.

Localization

  • All user-facing text must be translatable.
  • Add translation keys to src/translations/en.json when introducing new strings.
  • Use the localization system instead of inline user-visible strings.
  • Prefer complete localized strings with placeholders over concatenating translated fragments.
  • Give translators enough context through key naming and placeholders.
ts
this._localize("ui.panel.config.updates.updates_refreshed", {
  count: 5,
});

Voice And Style

  • Use American English.
  • Use a friendly, informational tone.
  • Address users directly with "you" and "your" when appropriate.
  • Be inclusive, objective, and non-discriminatory.
  • Be concise and clear.
  • Use active voice.
  • Avoid jargon where a familiar home automation term works.
  • Always write "Home Assistant" in full. Do not use "HA" or "HASS" in user-facing copy.
  • Spell out terms when possible.
  • Use sentence case for titles, headings, buttons, labels, and UI elements.
  • Use the Oxford comma in lists.
  • Prefer "like" over "e.g." and "for example" over "i.e.".
  • Avoid all caps for emphasis. Use wording, bold, or italics instead.
  • Write for both technical and non-technical users.

Sentence case examples:

  • Use: "Create new automation"
  • Avoid: "Create New Automation"
  • Use: "Device settings"
  • Avoid: "Device Settings"

Terminology

Use "integration" instead of "component" for user-facing product language unless referring to a frontend component in developer context.

Technical product terms are lowercase in prose: automation, entity, device, service.

Delete, Remove, Create, Add

Use "Remove" for actions that can be restored or reapplied:

  • Removing a user's permission.
  • Removing a user from a group.
  • Removing links between items.
  • Removing a widget from a dashboard.
  • Removing an item from a cart.

Use "Delete" for permanent, non-recoverable actions:

  • Deleting a field.
  • Deleting a value in a field.
  • Deleting a task.
  • Deleting a group.
  • Deleting a permission.
  • Deleting a calendar event.

Use "Add" for already-existing items:

  • Adding a permission to a user.
  • Adding a user to a group.
  • Adding links between items.
  • Adding a widget to a dashboard.
  • Adding an item to a cart.

Use "Create" for something made from scratch:

  • Creating a new field.
  • Creating a new task.
  • Creating a new group.
  • Creating a new permission.
  • Creating a new calendar event.

Create pairs with Delete. Add pairs with Remove.

Review Checklist

  • Text is localized.
  • Copy uses sentence case.
  • "Home Assistant" is written in full.
  • Delete/Remove and Create/Add match recoverability and object lifecycle.
  • Placeholders are used instead of string concatenation.
  • The wording is concise and understandable without implementation knowledge.
