Choosing the Right Skill
| I want to... | Use this skill |
|--------------|----------------|
| Create YAML automations (automations.yaml, blueprints) | ha-yaml |
| Build visual Node-RED flows (drag-and-drop, JSON) | node-red |
| Configure ESP32/ESP8266 device firmware | esphome |
| Develop Python custom components (HACS) | ha-integration |
> Tip: If your request is ambiguous (e.g., "make a motion light"), the skill will ask which platform you prefer.

Quick Start
```bash
# Add the marketplace repository
/plugin marketplace add tonylofgren/aurora-smart-home

How Skills Activate
Skills activate in two ways:
1. Automatic (Contextual)
Just mention keywords naturally - skills load automatically:
| Skill | Triggers on |
|-------|-------------|
| node-red | "node-red" anywhere (even "node-redflΓΆde", "Node-RED-flow") |
| esphome | "ESPHome", "ESP32", "ESP8266", device firmware |
| ha-yaml | "YAML automation", "blueprint", "automations.yaml" |
| ha-integration | "custom integration", "HACS", "custom_components" |
> Language-independent: Product names like "Node-RED" and "ESPHome" work in any language.
2. Explicit (Slash Commands)
Use slash commands when contextual activation misses:
```
/aurora:node-red - Node-RED flows
/aurora:esphome - ESPHome configs
/aurora:ha-yaml - Home Assistant YAML
/aurora:ha-integration - Python custom integrations
```
> Tip: Type /aurora: to see all available commands.

Getting Started with Your First Project
After installation, be explicit about which platform you want. Examples:
```
π¬ "Create an ESPHome config for an ESP32 temperature sensor with OLED display"
β ESPHome skill activates, asks about board, generates complete config
π¬ "Create a Home Assistant automation that turns on lights at sunset"
β HA-YAML skill activates, clarifies format, creates YAML automation
π¬ "Create a Node-RED flow for m
