Best practices for Home Assistant automations, helpers, scripts, and device controls. TRIGGER THIS SKILL WHEN: - Creating or editing HA automations, scripts, or scenes - Writing automation conditions or triggers - Creating template sensors or binary sensors - Using wait_template or wait_for_trigger - Choosing between device triggers and state triggers - Selecting automation modes (single/restart/queued/parallel) - Setting up Zigbee button/remote automations (ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT) - Deciding whether to use a built-in helper vs template sensor SYMPTOMS THAT TRIGGER THIS SKILL: - Agent defaults to Jinja2 templates where native constructs exist - Agent creates template sensors for simple aggregation (sum/min/max/mean) - Agent uses template conditions instead of native state/numeric_state conditions - Agent uses wait_template instead of wait_for_trigger - Agent uses device_id instead of entity_id in triggers/actions - Agent chooses wrong automation mode (e.g., single for motion lights)

Use when user seeks domain-specific expertise shaped by a practitioner's methodology, not just information. The user wants their work approached from a recognized expert's perspective - how would [specific expert] solve this problem, write this code, design this system.

Orchestrate parallel phase execution from plan files. Parses symphony-phases blocks, builds dependency DAG, and executes phases concurrently using Task tool. Supports artifact propagation between phases and automatic dependency resolution using Kahn's algorithm.

Use when user wants to review or reflect on their week. Triggered when intention involves weekly planning, retrospective, or summary. Creates weekly review note and references daily notes.

Create non-generic, high-entropy frontend interfaces using Verbalized Sampling (VS) to break mode collapse and maximize design creativity.

Configure and use automated code quality tools (ruff, mypy, pre-commit) for scientific Python projects. Use when setting up linting, formatting, type checking, or automated quality gates. Ideal for enforcing code style, catching type errors, managing pre-commit hooks, or integrating quality checks in CI/CD pipelines.

Work with labeled multidimensional arrays for scientific data analysis using Xarray. Use when handling climate data, satellite imagery, oceanographic data, or any multidimensional datasets with coordinates and metadata. Ideal for NetCDF/HDF5 files, time series analysis, and large datasets requiring lazy loading with Dask.

Master declarative parameter systems with Param for type-safe configuration. Use this skill when building parameterized classes with automatic validation, creating reactive dependencies with @param.depends, implementing watchers for side effects, auto-generating UIs from parameters, or organizing application configuration with hierarchical parameter structures.

Master quick plotting and interactive visualization with hvPlot. Use this skill when creating basic plots (line, scatter, bar, histogram, box), visualizing pandas DataFrames with minimal code, adding interactivity and hover tools, composing multiple plots in layouts, or generating publication-quality visualizations rapidly.

Master interactive dashboard and application development with Panel and Param. Use this skill when building custom web applications with Python, creating reactive component-based UIs, handling file uploads and real-time data streaming, implementing multi-page applications, or developing enterprise dashboards with templates and theming.

Work with astronomical data using Astropy for FITS file I/O, coordinate transformations, physical units, precise time handling, and catalog operations. Use when processing telescope images, matching celestial catalogs, handling time-series observations, or building photometry/spectroscopy pipelines. Ideal for astronomy research requiring proper unit handling, coordinate frame transformations, and astronomical time scales.

Upload videos to YouTube with title, description, tags. Use for: youtube upload, publish video, share on youtube.

Download YouTube videos with quality presets. Use for: download youtube, yt download, video download, youtube to whatsapp, youtube mp3.

Generate AI music with ElevenLabs Music API. Use for: background music, soundtracks, jingles, theme songs, instrumental tracks, AI music composition.

Browse and visualize Convex database schemas. Use when exploring Convex tables, viewing document structure, understanding database relationships, or creating dashboards.

Language-specific code style guidelines. Use when writing TypeScript, Python, Go, JavaScript, or HTML/CSS code to ensure consistent, idiomatic, and maintainable code following best practices.

Generate and edit draw.io diagrams in XML format with proper font settings, arrow placement, and Japanese text support. Use when creating flowcharts, architecture diagrams, sequence diagrams, or any visual diagrams in .drawio format. Handles font family settings, arrow layering, text sizing, and PNG export validation.
