Can this skill help with 'ConfigEntryNotReady' errors?

Yes, it identifies if the issue stems from the first coordinator refresh and suggests specific fixes for your API connection and setup logic.

Does it support checking for blocking I/O in the event loop?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns to wrap synchronous calls like requests.get in async_add_executor_job to prevent blocking Home Assistant.

Why are my entities showing as 'unavailable'?

The skill helps you verify if your DataUpdateCoordinator is raising UpdateFailed properly and checks if your entity's available property is correctly inherited.

How do I enable debug logs with this skill?

The skill provides pre-configured YAML snippets for your configuration.yaml to enable debug logging for specific domains and the Home Assistant config entry system.

Can it validate manifest.json and strings.json files?

Yes, the skill includes diagnostic bash commands to verify JSON syntax and structure, ensuring your integration metadata is valid.
