thalovant-skillkit

Write a Thalovant skill without writing the plumbing.

pip install "thalovant-skillkit[skill]"
thalovant-skillkit new garden-watering

That writes a complete skill — package, locales, tests, packaging, CI — that passes its own checks before you touch it.

The skill

from thalovant_skillkit.skill import ThalovantFallbackSkill


class GardenWateringSkill(ThalovantFallbackSkill):
    FALLBACK_PRIORITY = 98

    def can_answer(self, message) -> bool:
        return self.mentions(self.utterance(message), "GardenWateringKeyword")

    def reply(self, utterance, lang, context):
        return self.dialog("garden.watering", lang)

reply is the one method most skills need. What it returns is spoken on the hub and shown in the showroom, so the two cannot drift apart.

A test

from thalovant_skillkit.testing import message

def test_it_hears_its_keyword():
    assert GardenWateringSkill().can_answer(message("water the garden"))

def test_it_ignores_the_rest():
    assert not GardenWateringSkill().can_answer(message("set a timer"))

Keeping it right

thalovant-skillkit check

Every locale complete, placeholders matching, packaging sound, priority in band. The same check runs in the CI the scaffold writes for you.

What you get


`self.utterance(msg)`	what was said
`self.lang_of(msg)`	the language of this utterance
`self.location_of(msg)`	where the house is
`self.mentions(text, "Voc")`	does the text mention this vocabulary — plurals included
`self.dialog("name", lang)`	a line from `locale/<lang>/dialog/name.dialog`
`self.setting("key", default)`	one skill setting
`self.reply(utterance, lang, ctx)`	your answer; spoken and previewed from one place

Everything on OVOSSkill still works — self.speak, self.speak_dialog, self.voc_match, the intent decorators. Nothing here replaces them.
