BC home-assistant
Control Home Assistant — lights, switches, climate, scenes, and automations — from your agent. Create and risk-check automations from natural language, validate YAML before deploying, and act on proactive suggestions. Connects over MCP with OAuth 2.0 (Selora Connect) — no long-lived tokens.
As a process C 64/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, consistency
How to improve
- Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- warning
description-no-whendescription does not say WHEN to use the skill (no "use when")
Process rating: all ten parameters 64/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 10 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (home-assistant) differs from the folder (homeassistant-selora)
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 42 steps
- 100Failures and branches. 4 branches, has a failure section
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2023 tokens
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
- low 11 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
