System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents wasted time from "guess-and-check" coding by enforcing a mandatory research protocol after two failed attempts. It ensures a deeper understanding of the problem before further coding, leading to more efficient and effective solutions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mandatory Research Trigger: Automatically initiates research after two coding failures, breaking inefficient loops.
  • Documentation & Source Code Guidance: Directs to official Home Assistant developer documentation, ZowieBox API references, and relevant HA core integration source code.
  • Direct API Testing: Encourages testing ZowieBox API endpoints directly using curl to verify behavior.
  • Problem Understanding: Requires articulating the solution in plain English before resuming coding.
  • Use Case: If a config_flow implementation fails twice, this skill directs you to stop coding, review HA config flow docs, examine config_flow.py in other HA integrations, and only then return to coding with a clear understanding.

Quick Start

Use the ha-zowietek-research skill to investigate why the async_get_system_info API call is consistently failing after two attempts.
