# HA EntityDescription Mapper
Spec: `spec/claude/ha-entity-description-map/en.md` (EN canonical) / `spec/claude/ha-entity-description-map/de.md` (DE translation).
## Why this is a skill, not an agent
- **Per-datapoint operator decisions (decisive):** mapping a datapoint table to EntityDescription tuples requires judgement calls (device class, unit, enabled-by-default) that are confirmed in the conversation, not fired off blind.
- **Output flows back naturally:** the generated tuple list and strings/icons entries are reviewed and iterated inline before they land.
- **Counter-dimension considered:** the generation step is mechanical and self-contained (agent bias), but a wrong device-class guess multiplied over a whole table is expensive — the confirm-as-you-go dialogue outweighs isolation.
## When this skill activates
Use this skill when the user wants to add datapoints (sensors, binary sensors, buttons, numbers, selects, switches, calendars, todos) to an existing platform file in declarative `EntityDescription` form.
## When NOT to activate
- greenfield scaffold → `ha-integration-scaffold`
- platform file missing → run scaffold first, then come back
- custom state-class definitions → manual code edit
- multi-platform generation in one call → call this skill once per platform
## Hard rules
1. **Never overwrite existing entries.** Conflict on `EntityDescription.key` aborts with the conflicting key quoted.
2. **Never invent translations.** Non-English translations land
