Discover Skills

Browse, download, and install skills for your AI assistant

Only install skills from trusted sources—ideally ones you created yourself or from the official repository. Skills can execute bash commands, read/write files, and make network requests. A malicious skill could lead to data exfiltration, unauthorized system access, or other security risks.

Managing Skills

Reload Skills

After manually creating or modifying skills:

service: extended_openai_conversation.reload_skills

When to reload:

• After manually creating a new skill
• After editing SKILL.md files
• After modifying skill metadata

You don’t need to reload after using download_skill service—it reloads automatically.

Security Considerations

Before installing any skill, audit it thoroughly:

• Review all files: Check SKILL.md, scripts under scripts/, and any other bundled files. Look for unexpected network calls, unusual file access patterns, or operations that don’t match the skill’s stated purpose.
• Be cautious with external sources: Skills that fetch data from external URLs carry additional risk—even a trustworthy skill can be compromised if its external dependencies change over time.
• Watch for tool misuse: Skills can invoke HA services, run bash commands, and access the filesystem. Verify that a skill only uses the capabilities it claims to need.
• Treat it like installing software: Apply the same caution you would when installing any program on your system, especially for skills that have access to sensitive data or critical automations.
