FFT Demo Holodeck Ops

Use this skill whenever you respond to a farm query and the FFT_demo_dash dashboard is live. Your Telegram reply and the dashboard should update together — the audience sees both simultaneously.

When to use this skill

• Any time you answer a farm question and the dashboard is running at http://localhost:8123.
• When a user asks about conditions, alerts, status, or operational decisions.
• When a scene change would make the answer more visually compelling.
• When showing the dashboard to investors, growers, compliance officers, or press.

When not to use this skill

• Do not use for production HA deployments with real physical equipment.
• Do not trigger scenes without reading current farm state first.

Guardrails

• Never run destructive git commands unless explicitly requested.
• Preserve unrelated worktree changes.
• Keep write operations main-chat-only.
• Always read current.json before setting scene entities.

Rule: Always Write Agent Commentary

On every response to a farm query, write two entities before sending your Telegram reply:

1. Agent status (short mode label, ≤128 chars):

{
  "type": "farm_action",
  "action": "ha_set_entity",
  "params": {
    "entityId": "input_text.agent_status",
    "value": "Storm Response Active"
  },
  "requestId": "act_<ts>_status"
}

2. Agent commentary (your full reasoning/answer, ≤500 chars):

{
  "type": "farm_action",
  "action": "ha_set_entity",
  "params": {
    "entityId": "input_text.agent_commentary",
    "value": "NWS shows 68mph gusts arriving in ~3h. Pre-charging battery to 95%. Securing greenhouse vents. Activating storm drainage pumps."
  },
  "requestId": "act_<ts>_commentary"
}

The commentary card on the dashboard renders these live with an animated border. The audience sees the agent reasoning in real time.

Scene System

Trigger scenes by setting input_select.demo_scene via ha_call_service:

{
  "type": "farm_action",
  "action": "ha_call_service",
  "params": {
    "domain": "input_select",
    "service": "select_option",
    "data": {
      "entity_id": "input_select.demo_scene",
      "option": "Golden Hour Harvest"
    }
  },
  "requestId": "act_<ts>_scene"
}

Available Scenes

Each scene: updates theme, 8–20 entity values, writes its own agent_status/commentary automatically.

Canvas Presets

After triggering a scene, optionally load a matching canvas spec for the Agent Canvas view.

Canvas spec files are at /workspace/dashboard/canvas-specs/ (or the HA www path). Load via:

{
  "type": "farm_action",
  "action": "ha_canvas_set_spec",
  "params": {
    "spec": { "title": "...", "panels": [ ... ] }
  },
  "requestId": "act_<ts>_canvas"
}

Or read an existing preset first with ha_canvas_get_spec, then patch.

Live Weather Mirroring

The simulator is running live NWS weather for Cedar Creek TX (30.08, -97.49) by default.

To mirror a different city's live weather into a specific zone, use a Telegram-prompted bash call from the host (not IPC) — or tell the user:

npm run demo:mirror -- --location nyc --zone greenhouse_a

Available locations: cedar-creek, napa-valley, nyc, nyc-greenhouse, seattle, miami, denver, phoenix, florida-citrus Available zones: greenhouse_a, greenhouse_b, greenhouse_c, outdoor_north, cannabis

Demo Flow: Farmer Ask → Dashboard Response

Every interaction should follow this sequence:

1. Read /workspace/farm-state/current.json — get live entity values and suggested theme
2. Decide which scene (if any) matches the query context
3. Write agent_status (mode label)
4. Write agent_commentary (your answer in ≤500 chars)
5. Trigger scene if appropriate (via input_select.demo_scene)
6. Reply via Telegram — same content as agent_commentary, expanded if needed

The dashboard and Telegram reply should tell the same story simultaneously.

Example Interactions

"Storm coming tomorrow — what should I prepare?"

• Scene: Emergency Cascade
• Status: Storm Prep Active
• Commentary: NWS advisory confirms 65mph gusts, 2.8" rain expected. Pre-charging battery to 95%. Securing vent actuators. Activating storm drainage. Harvest window closes in ~6h.

"I'm showing investors in 10 minutes"

• Scene: VIP Tour
• Status: VIP Mode — All Systems Optimal
• Commentary: Solar at 380kW, battery 95%, all compliance at 98%+. Zero active alerts. Yields tracking 12% above projection. Farm is ready for inspection.

"Zone B IPM alert just came in"

• Scene: IPM Zone Lockdown
• Status: IPM Protocol — Zone B Quarantine
• Commentary: Pest pressure Zone B: 7.5/10. Room B HVAC isolated to prevent spray drift. Drone launched for survey sweep. Azadirachtin queued. Days since last spray reset.

"How's the grow room doing right now?"

• Read current entities → if nominal, set Cannabis Full Bloom
• Status: Grow Rooms Nominal — All Rooms Flowering
• Commentary: PPFD 920, DLI 48, air temp 78°F, RH 52%, CO₂ 1200ppm, EC 2.4, pH 6.0. All rooms in flower at optimal setpoints. Expected yield on track.
