Home Assistant Dashboards Cards

If you're building or tweaking Home Assistant Lovelace dashboards with Claude, this skill maps conversational requests to the right ha-mcp tools. It knows when to search for entities first, how to locate and update existing cards with their config hashes, and when to pull in HACS custom cards versus sticking with built-ins. The workflow guidance is practical: it reminds you that dashboard URLs need hyphens, strategy dashboards need "Take Control" before editing, and Jinja won't evaluate in core Lovelace YAML. The reference files cover design patterns and card schemas, so you're not just getting tool names but actual implementation context.
