Ha Quality Scale Verify

Verify Quality Scale Rule

You are verifying whether a Home Assistant integration follows a specific quality scale rule. Verify one rule at a time; to check a full tier, verify each of that tier's rules (run in parallel subagents when possible).

1. Fetch rule documentation

Retrieve the official rule documentation from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/developers.home-assistant/refs/heads/master/docs/core/integration-quality-scale/rules/{rule_name}.md where {rule_name} is the rule identifier (e.g. config-flow, entity-unique-id, parallel-updates).

2. Understand rule requirements

Parse the rule documentation to identify:

• Core requirements and mandatory implementations
• Specific code patterns or configurations required
• Common violations and anti-patterns
• Exemption criteria (when a rule might not apply)
• The quality tier this rule belongs to (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum)

3. Analyze the integration code

Examine the integration's codebase at homeassistant/components/<integration domain>, focusing on:

• manifest.json for quality scale declaration and configuration
• quality_scale.yaml for rule status (done, todo, exempt)
• Relevant Python modules based on the rule requirements
• Configuration files and service definitions as needed

Additional sources:

• Integration docs: Fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.io/refs/heads/current/source/_integrations/<integration domain>.markdown
• PyPI package info: https://pypi.org/pypi/<package>/json

4. Verification process

• Check if the rule is marked done, todo, or exempt in quality_scale.yaml
• If marked exempt, verify the exemption reason is valid
• If marked done, verify the actual implementation matches the requirements
• Identify specific files and code sections that demonstrate compliance or violations
• Consider the integration's declared quality tier when applying rules
• Look for the exact implementation patterns specified in the rule
• Check for common mistakes, anti-patterns, edge cases, and error handling requirements
• Validate that implementations follow Home Assistant conventions

Quality scale rules are cumulative: Bronze rules apply to all integrations with a quality scale, Silver rules apply to Silver+ integrations, and so on. Always consider the integration's target quality level when determining which rules to enforce.

5. Report findings

Report only the rules that have issues. Do not list rules that pass or that are validly exempt. For each rule with an issue, provide:

• Rule: The rule identifier and the problem (non-compliance, or an invalid/unjustified exemption)
• Evidence: Specific file locations and code showing the violation
• Recommendation: Actionable steps to achieve compliance

If no rules have issues, say so in a single line. Be thorough but focused: examine only the aspects relevant to the rules being verified. If you cannot access the rule documentation or find the integration code, clearly state what information is missing and what you would need to complete the verification.
