What it does

Acp Diagnose is an agent skill from jrhubott/adaptive-cover-pro. Analyze an Adaptive Cover Pro diagnostics JSON file and produce a triage report. Use when the user provides a diagnostics.json download from HA, attaches a diagnostics file, or asks to diagnose an Adaptive Cover Pro issue. Trigger on phrases like "analyze diagnostics", "what does this diagnostics show", "why isn't my cover moving", paired with a JSON file.

Its SKILL.md is about 960 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Home Assistant. The repository describes itself as: Adaptive sun-tracking cover control for Home Assistant: blinds, awnings, and venetian tilts with climate-aware positioning and a priority override pipeline. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user provides a diagnostics.json download from HA
  • Attaches a diagnostics file
  • Asks to diagnose an Adaptive Cover Pro issue
  • Phrases like analyze diagnostics

Example prompts

  • “analyze diagnostics”
  • “what does this diagnostics show”
  • “why isn”
  • “/acp-diagnose”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run the engine. From the repo root, with the dev virtualenv (the package import pulls Home Assistant, which is not on the system…
  2. Narrate each finding. For every line the engine printed, restate it in plain English for the user and include its wiki deep link (the…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c03d682. 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:

    • python

    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

Acp Diagnose loads about 958 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 479 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~958

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.

description
Analyze an Adaptive Cover Pro diagnostics JSON file and produce a triage report. Use when the user provides a diagnostics.json download from HA, attaches a diagnostics file, or asks to diagnose an Adaptive Cover Pro issue. Trigger on phrases like "analyze diagnostics", "what does this diagnostics show", "why isn't my cover moving", paired with a JSON file.

ACP Diagnose

Analyze a diagnostics JSON file downloaded from Home Assistant (Settings → Devices & Services → Adaptive Cover Pro → ⋮ → Download diagnostics) by running the same declarative rules engine that powers the in-product Troubleshoot step, then narrating the findings.

The prose checklist this skill used to carry is gone: the checks now live in the TRIAGE_RULES table in custom_components/adaptive_cover_pro/diagnostics/triage.py, and scripts/triage_json.py runs them offline. The same table drives the in-product troubleshoot step AND this offline triage — so a gap in one is a gap in both, and closing it means adding a rule row, not editing this skill.

How to Execute

When the user provides a diagnostics JSON file (path or attachment):

  1. Run the engine. From the repo root, with the dev virtualenv (the package import pulls Home Assistant, which is not on the system interpreter):

    bash
    venv/bin/python scripts/triage_json.py <path-to-diagnostics.json>

    Add --latest-version <X.Y.Z> when you know the newest release — it enables the STALE_VERSION check (offline it cannot fetch the latest release itself). Add --lang de / --lang fr to render findings in German or French.

  2. Narrate each finding. For every line the engine printed, restate it in plain English for the user and include its wiki deep link (the script prints one per finding). Lead with the criticals (🛑), then warnings (⚠️), then info (ℹ️).

  3. Investigate anything the engine cannot explain. If the user's symptom is not covered by any finding, read the relevant sections of the diagnostics JSON directly (decision_trace, control_status, cover_commands, last_skipped_action, sun_validity, climate_conditions) and reason about it by hand.

    An unexplained symptom is a missing rule row. When you find yourself hand-explaining a class of problem the engine did not flag, that is the signal to add a rule — follow Developer Triage Rules (five edits: one rule row, one English template + en.json leaf, one JSON leaf per language via the acp-translate skill, one test, one wiki section). Offer to file an issue or open that change.

If no file is provided, ask: "Please share the diagnostics JSON (download from HA: Settings → Devices & Services → Adaptive Cover Pro → ⋮ → Download diagnostics)."

Offline seam — what the engine cannot see in a download

The diagnostics download carries neither per-entity capabilities nor the policy-derived axis requirements (both are built live inside the config flow), so two config rules cannot fire offline:

  • COVER_NOT_READY (rule 8a) — a cover reporting no capabilities. Its runtime twin ENTITY_UNAVAILABLE (8b) does fire offline, reading covers[*].available.
  • COVER_FEATURE_MISMATCH (rule 13) — a cover missing an axis its type needs.

And STALE_VERSION (rule 24) fires only when you pass --latest-version. If a user's problem is a capability mismatch or an out-of-date install, check those by hand — the offline run will not raise them.

Output

Present the engine's findings as a short triage report: a one-line summary of the most likely cause and what to change, then the findings grouped by severity with their wiki links, then any hand-investigated notes for symptoms the engine did not cover. Keep it actionable.
