Test compile ESPHome firmware for all devices using Docker and fix any YAML or configuration errors until every device compiles successfully.

  • Works in 5 steps: Compile Each Device → Interpret Results → Fix and Retry on Failure → …
  • The user says /compile
  • SKILL.md covers Device Slugs and Workflow
  • Calls docker and python3

What it does

Compile is an agent skill from jtenniswood/esphome-media-player. Test compile ESPHome firmware for all devices using Docker and fix any YAML or configuration errors until every device compiles successfully. Use when the user says "/compile", "test compile", "compile check", "build test", "check builds", "verify compile", or wants to make sure all devices compile before committing.

Its SKILL.md is about 780 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 DevOps & Cloud, covering Containers. It works with Docker. The repository describes itself as: Touch screen display for showing cover artwork from any Home Assistant media entity.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says /compile
  • Wants to make sure all devices compile before committing

Example prompts

  • “/compile”
  • “test compile”
  • “compile check”
  • “/compile”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Docker

Workflow steps

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

  1. Compile Each Device
  2. Interpret Results
  3. Fix and Retry on Failure
  4. Web UI Asset Note
  5. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8ab172b. 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:

    • docker
    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use docker, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Compile loads about 779 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 332 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~779

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 332 words (~779 tokens).

“Compile ESPHome firmware for every device in the repo using Docker. If a build fails, diagnose the error, fix the source YAML, and re-compile until all devices pass.”
