Introduction¶
When systematic fire safety inspections are rarely conducted at home, the common practice is to browse a few science articles for a quick comparison. The checklists are often scattered and don’t align with one’s specific floor plan. Questions regarding whether to buy fire extinguishers, where to place them, and how often to check them are often postponed with the attitude of “I’ll deal with it when I remember.”
If you wish for a conversational Agent to provide a zone-based inspection checklist, equipment recommendations, and escape routes based on your floor plan and family members, you can install the community Skill “Home Fire Safety Check” (@user_70c2f807/home-fire-safety-check) from SkillHub into clients like Cursor. This Skill uses SKILL.md to define the output structure and boundaries. The following section introduces what it is, what it can do, and how to install and use it.
What Is This¶
“Home Fire Safety Check” is an Agent Skill following the universal SKILL.md format, with coordinates @user_70c2f807/home-fire-safety-check. The current version is 1.0.0, the source is community, and it is categorized under life-service (subcategory: “Home Assistant”) on SkillHub. The publisher is user_70c2f807 (displayed as QQQ on the SkillHub page). The Skill metadata is marked as requires_api_key=false, meaning no additional API Key is needed for installation or usage.
As defined in the official description: it helps home users generate self-inspection checklists for fire safety, covering fire extinguisher configuration and checks, smoke alarm installation, electrical safety inspections, escape route planning, and home fire drill plans. The Skill text also explicitly states it is not applicable to commercial building fire inspections, professional fire engineering, or post-fire loss assessment scenarios.
Core Functions¶
The following capabilities are derived from the “Capabilities” and “Execution Steps” sections of the SKILL.md within the Skill package, verified via the Zip file.
- Zone-based Self-inspection Checklist: Generates inspection items categorized by zones (kitchen, living room, bedroom, balcony, hallway, etc.) and sorts them by risk priority (kitchen, electrical, escape routes, etc.).
- Escape Route Planning: Given user-provided floor plans and door/window information, outputs primary routes, alternate routes, assembly points, and text-based diagrams; includes supplementary notes for high-rise buildings, the elderly, and children.
- Fire Equipment Recommendations: Covers fire extinguisher selection, placement, and maintenance cycles; installation positions and testing methods for smoke/gas alarms; outputs may include model suggestions and reference price tables.
- Drill Plans: Designs drill frequency, steps, and timing targets, taking into account special members such as children and the elderly.
- Electrical Safety Hazard Guidelines: Incorporates inspection items for power strips, wiring, and charging habits into the checklist.
- Structured Reports: Default output includes modules for basic family information, zone checklists (with checkboxes), equipment configuration tables, escape routes, plans for special populations, and drill schedules.
The Skill requires the assistant to state limitations in its output: it is guidance for home self-inspection only and does not replace professional institutions; regulations depend on local fire departments; fire extinguisher operation requires practical training.
Installation & Activation¶
SkillHub provides two common methods: letting the Agent execute the installation via documentation, or using the skillhub CLI to install to the client’s skills directory.
Method 1: Prompt-based Installation¶
Send the following intent to an Agent that supports Skills (original text from the official page):
Please install @user_70c2f807/home-fire-safety-check according to https://skillhub.cn/install/skillhub.md.
The Agent will check the CLI, search, and install according to the documentation. The installation directory must point to the current Agent’s skills path; otherwise, the default ./skills/ may not be recognized.
Method 2: skillhub CLI¶
First, confirm if the CLI is installed:
command -v skillhub && skillhub --version
If not installed, follow the SkillHub installation documentation for a full installation or just the CLI (Documentation URL: https://skillhub.cn/install/skillhub.md). When installing the Skill, you need to include --dir, for example, the common directory for Cursor:
skillhub install user_70c2f807/home-fire-safety-check --dir ~/.cursor/skills/
Paths for other clients follow the same installation documentation, e.g., Claude Code uses ~/.claude/skills/, and Codex uses ~/.codex/skills/ or .agents/skills/ under the project. After installation, refresh or restart according to the client’s requirements to enable the Skill.
Method 3: Download Zip¶
The SkillHub page provides a Zip download address for version 1.0.0 (the slug must include the @ prefix):
https://api.skillhub.cn/api/v1/download?slug=@user_70c2f807/home-fire-safety-check
After unzipping, place the Skill directory into the corresponding client’s skills directory.
Typical Usage¶
Once the Skill is enabled, simply describe your home situation or specific questions in the conversation. The following examples are taken from the “Quick Start” section within the Skill and can be reproduced directly (the assistant’s reply content is determined by the model and Skill instructions combined).
Starting a Self-inspection from Scratch
We have never done a fire safety check at home and don't know where to start.
Fire Extinguisher Status
How should I check the fire extinguishers at home? Are they still usable?
Escape Routes
Help me plan escape routes for a house with three bedrooms and two living rooms.
(The Skill will guide you to provide details on each room and the layout of doors and windows.)
Special Members
We have elderly people and children at home. What needs special attention regarding fire safety?
regarding the execution flow, the Skill defines a process starting with collecting floor plan, floor level, family members, and existing equipment (Step 1), followed by generating a risk inspection checklist (Step 2), equipment recommendations (Step 3), and escape & drill plans (Step 4). The output should ideally use zone tables with checkboxes for easy item-by-item verification.
Applicable Scenarios & Notes¶
Target Audience
- Homeowners or long-term renters who wish to conduct regular fire self-inspections and complete their fire extinguisher and alarm configurations.
- Families needing to write escape routes and drill steps into a plan that can be posted on a wall (especially those with elderly, children, or mobility-impaired members).
Limitations & Precautions
- Fire safety for commercial/industrial sites and fire engineering design are outside the scope of this Skill; for fire damage assessment or professional equipment repair, please contact relevant institutions.
- Escape routes depend on the floor plan described by the user; actual passage conditions must be verified on-site. If renovations are restricted in rental properties, the Skill documentation mentions focusing on no-drill solutions and portable equipment.
- Severe hazards (gas leaks, exposed wires, etc.) should be addressed immediately; dial 119 if necessary. Practical safety must be observed when drills involve windows or ropes.
- The Skill declares that it does not collect specific user addresses or building information, but unnecessary privacy should still be avoided in conversations.

Conclusion¶
“Home Fire Safety Check” decomposes home fire self-inspection into conversational steps: information collection, zone checklists, equipment & escape, and drill planning, while clearly stating it does not replace professional inspections. To use it within an Agent, install from SkillHub or download the Zip, coordinates @user_70c2f807/home-fire-safety-check.
