Overview

Home Assistant YAML configuration and automation. The most common skill for general HA questions. Covers automations, blueprints, scripts, scenes, template sensors, Lovelace dashboards, Mushroom cards, packages, helpers, presence detection, voice Assist, calendar automation, Jinja2 templates, notification patterns, energy monitoring, Matter devices, automation debugging and traces, dashboard sections view, and trigger-based template entities. Core principle: Never generate YAML without understanding the user's intent. Automation vs blueprint, UI editor vs YAML files, and entity naming conventions must be clarified first. The process involves multiple steps, including intent clarification, reading official reference files, generating YAML, and running a pre-completion checklist. It also warns against common pitfalls such as making assumptions about the user's request, skipping questions for simple requests, and using deprecated keywords like 'service:' and 'data_template:'. The skill emphasizes the importance of understanding the user's intent before generating any YAML configuration for Home Assistant.
