Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

Homebridge Config UI X exposes a REST API. View full documentation at {HOMEBRIDGE_URL}/swagger.
All API calls require a Bearer token. Obtain it first: # Get auth token TOKEN=$(curl -s -X POST "${HOMEBRIDGE_URL}/api/auth/login" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d "{\"username\":\"${HOMEBRIDGE_USERNAME}\",\"password\":\"${HOMEBRIDGE_PASSWORD}\"}" \ | jq -r '.access_token')
curl -s "${HOMEBRIDGE_URL}/api/accessories" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" | jq Response includes accessory uniqueId, serviceName, type, and current values.
curl -s "${HOMEBRIDGE_URL}/api/accessories/layout" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" | jq
Use PUT to update accessory characteristics: # Turn on a light/switch curl -s -X PUT "${HOMEBRIDGE_URL}/api/accessories/{uniqueId}" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"characteristicType": "On", "value": true}' # Turn off curl -s -X PUT "${HOMEBRIDGE_URL}/api/accessories/{uniqueId}" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"characteristicType": "On", "value": false}' # Set brightness (0-100) curl -s -X PUT "${HOMEBRIDGE_URL}/api/accessories/{uniqueId}" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"characteristicType": "Brightness", "value": 50}' # Set color (Hue: 0-360, Saturation: 0-100) curl -s -X PUT "${HOMEBRIDGE_URL}/api/accessories/{uniqueId}" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"characteristicType": "Hue", "value": 240}' # Set thermostat target temperature curl -s -X PUT "${HOMEBRIDGE_URL}/api/accessories/{uniqueId}" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"characteristicType": "TargetTemperature", "value": 22}'

For convenience, use the provided scripts:
scripts/homebridge_api.py list scripts/homebridge_api.py list --room "Living Room" scripts/homebridge_api.py list --type Lightbulb
# Turn on/off scripts/homebridge_api.py set <uniqueId> On true scripts/homebridge_api.py set <uniqueId> On false # Adjust brightness scripts/homebridge_api.py set <uniqueId> Brightness 75 # Set color scripts/homebridge_api.py set <uniqueId> Hue 120 scripts/homebridge_api.py set <uniqueId> Saturation 100
scripts/homebridge_api.py get <uniqueId>
Find your accessory's uniqueId by listing all accessories first The API documentation at /swagger shows all available endpoints Characteristic names are case-sensitive (use On not on) Some accessories may have multiple services; check the response for service types Token expires after some time; re-authenticate if you get 401 errors
