Hey all, I’m a software engineer by trade, and I’ve been experimenting a lot with AI-assisted coding workflows lately (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.). I recently learned about Agent Skills — basically markdown files that teach AI agents about specific domains. They work across a ton of different agents…

New to AI skills. I use Gemini agent with my vscode setup. Do I just install the skill with npx and it gets automatically picked up by Gemini context? Or do I need to do more?

It should work with Gemini. You’d just install it to ~/.gemini/skills instead of ~/.claude/skills.

[image] mmcnees: You’d just install it to ~/.gemini/skills instead of ~/.claude/skills. Sorry for my ignorance :grimacing: .I have a ~/.gemini folder, but no skills subfolder. So I need to run the install from the .gemini folder? And no need to add anything to the homey project folder?

You should be able to create the folder then just download the skill.md file from my GitHub link into it. You could also try asking Gemini to install the skill and give it the link to GitHub.

Would this also work with the just-announced Python SDK? I have had some success using CoPilot with ESP32C6 Matter/Thread, would be great to now develop an app for Homey to match it. I’m tired of learning new languages, been programming since 1965, last one I want to use is python and C#.. Plus le…

This is specifically for the JavaScript SDK but I could take a stab at one for the Python SDK too. I don’t work in Python so I wouldn’t be much help to troubleshoot or test though.

Might be best if I try the JavaScript one first before you spend time on Python. It might get me far enough…

[image] Gerritv: ESP32C6 I have already built an app for those: [image] Espressif ZigBee | Homey Use the ESP32C6 and ESP32H2 example projects in Homey For now, only the ESP32 Range Extender is supported. If you need any others, please let me know.

Thank you , I had seen that. My first portion of the project is to interface to a Canadian style ‘smart’ meter using their blinking LED output. We are in a desert here for useful smart meter interfaces :frowning: Once I get my code working and the device installed in a weather proof housing I will t…

That’s really interesting. Thank you for sharing. I’m going to take a proper look. I’m also a software engineer by trade and also quite new to Homey and keen on the app development side of things. I’ve been using Claude Code heavily to help. I’m seriously impressed with the latest models. I built …
