How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.
The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 4 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 77
Use this to verify notification delivery before enabling the rule in the daemon.
- Very specific: line 87
If the CLI is not configured (no VIN, no auth), stop and tell the user to run /tesla:setup — never auto-configure
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 4 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Tesla Automations
Rule-based automation engine that monitors vehicle state and fires notifications or shell commands when conditions are met.
List Rules
tesla automations list # show all configured rules (name, trigger, action, enabled)
tesla automations list --json # machine-readable outputAdd Rules
tesla automations add # interactive wizard (name, trigger, condition, action)Rules have three parts: a trigger (what to watch), a condition (threshold/value), and an action (notify or run command).
Default Rules
The following rules are available out of the box:
| Rule name | Trigger | Default condition | Action |
battery_below | battery SoC | < 20% | push notification |
charging_complete | charge state | becomes Complete | push notification |
sentry_event | sentry mode | new event detected | push notification |
tesla automations add --preset battery_below # add the 20% low-battery alert
tesla automations add --preset charging_complete
tesla automations add --preset sentry_eventRemove Rules
tesla automations remove <name> # delete a rule by name
tesla automations enable <name> # re-enable a disabled rule
tesla automations disable <name> # disable without deletingRun Daemon
tesla automations run # start the rules daemon (foreground)
tesla automations run --source auto # auto-select best data source (TeslaMate → Fleet → Owner)
tesla automations run --interval 60 # poll every 60 seconds (default: 30)The daemon polls vehicle state on the configured interval and evaluates all enabled rules.
Install as System Service
tesla automations install # install as launchd (macOS) or systemd (Linux) service
tesla automations uninstall # remove the serviceTest a Rule
tesla automations test <name> # fire the rule action once, regardless of conditionsUse this to verify notification delivery before enabling the rule in the daemon.
Status
tesla automations status # daemon running? last evaluation? last fired rule?Response Guidelines
- If the CLI is not configured (no VIN, no auth), stop and tell the user to run
/tesla:setup— never auto-configure - List rules first before suggesting add/remove operations
- Suggest presets for the three most common use cases (battery_below, charging_complete, sentry_event)
- Remind the user the daemon must be running (or installed as a service) for rules to fire

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
