What it does

Expert Reset is an agent skill from jtenniswood/esphome-media-player. Reimagine this repository from first principles using the current product and user experience as the target. Use when the user says "/expert-reset", asks how the project should be rebuilt if starting again, wants bold architecture or component-structure recommendations, or wants a research-only reset plan unconstrained by current implementation details.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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 UX design. 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 /expert-reset
  • Asks how the project should be rebuilt if starting again
  • Wants bold architecture
  • Component-structure recommendations

Example prompts

  • “/expert-reset”
  • “/expert-reset”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Establish Current State
  2. Reconstruct the Target Product
  3. Find the Natural Architecture
  4. Compare Current State to the Reset Design
  5. Be Deliberately Bold
  6. Keep It Research-Only

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:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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

Expert Reset loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 819 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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 819 words (~1,882 tokens).

“Review the project as if starting it again today, while preserving the current desired user experience as the product target. The goal is not to make small local improvements. The goal is to describe the architecture, component model, data boundaries…”
