94-96: Nitpick: Improve Example Introduction TextConsider revising the introductory text for the JSON file example from:
Example, read a JSON file out of the `www` directory.to a slightly clearer version such as:
Example: Read a JSON file from the `www` directory.This small adjustment may improve readability.

77-87: Clear and Comprehensive New Documentation SectionThe newly added documentation for the
file.read_fileaction is well organized. It clearly outlines the purpose of the action, describes the required data attributes, and includes configuration notes regarding relative file paths and the allowlist. Overall, the section integrates nicely with the rest of the file.

86-90: Notes on File Path Constraints: Formatting ConsiderationThe notes clearly instruct users that file paths should be relative to the Home Assistant configuration directory and that they must be added to the
allowlist_external_dirsin theirconfiguration.yaml. However, a markdownlint warning (MD028) indicates a blank line within a blockquote. Consider removing any unnecessary blank lines inside these blockquotes to adhere to markdown style guidelines.🧰 Tools

88-88: Blank line inside blockquote
null(MD028, no-blanks-blockquote)
114-122: Response Format Example: Clear and InformativeThe YAML snippet demonstrating the expected response is clear and accurately mirrors the output one would anticipate from the action. For completeness, consider including a brief note on how errors (such as file not found or parse errors) are handled, if such behavior is defined.

77-80: New Action Documentation Section: Clarity and CompletenessThe new documentation section for the
file.read_fileaction is clear and well-organized. It succinctly explains the purpose of the action and what users can expect from it. Consider explicitly mentioning that onlyJSONandYAMLare accepted values forfile_encoding(if that is indeed the case) to avoid any ambiguity.
81-85: Data Attributes Table: Comprehensive and InformativeThe table neatly lays out the required data attributes along with examples, which makes it easy for users to understand what is expected. A minor suggestion is to add a note that invalid values for
file_encodingmay lead to an error, enhancing user clarity.
94-101: YAML Configuration Example: Correct and ClearThe YAML example for invoking the
file.read_fileaction is well-formatted and correctly usesJSON(with proper capitalization) for thefile_encodingattribute. This example clearly demonstrates how to integrate the action within a configuration.
102-105: Textlint Directives for File Content Display: Appropriate UseThe inclusion of textlint disable and enable directives around the "Contents of myfile.json" section is appropriate. This ensures that the raw file content is displayed as intended without interference from linting rules.
106-112: Example JSON File Content: Valid and IllustrativeThe JSON code block provides valid sample content and is a good illustration of the file content that the action is expected to process.

77-89: New "file.read_file" Action Documentation – Clear and ConciseThe new section clearly explains the purpose of the
file.read_fileaction and provides a well-structured parameter table. The descriptions for bothfile_nameandfile_encodingare informative and include examples. One suggestion would be to consider adding a brief note regarding error handling (for example, what happens if the file cannot be read or parsed) to fully inform the user.🧰 Tools

90-99: Example Usage Formatting – Improve Fenced Code Block SpacingThe YAML example illustrating how to invoke the action is excellent and demonstrates the expected configuration clearly. However, to conform with markdown guidelines (MD031) and improve readability, it would be beneficial to ensure that the fenced code block is surrounded by a blank line above and below. For instance, adding a blank line before the opening ```yaml and after the closing fence would help.
Suggested diff:
-Example, read a JSON file out of the `www` directory. -```yaml +Example, read a JSON file out of the `www` directory. + +```yaml - action: file.read_file data: file_name: config/www/myfile.json file_encoding: JSON response_variable: file_content +```🧰 Tools

94-94: Fenced code blocks should be surrounded by blank lines
null(MD031, blanks-around-fences)
100-117: Response & Sample File Block – Consistency and Spacing ImprovementsThe inclusion of the JSON sample file content and its corresponding expected YAML response is very helpful. As with the previous code block, consider ensuring that these fenced blocks are surrounded by blank lines as per markdown guidelines (MD031) for improved clarity and consistency. Additionally, the use of
<!-- textlint-disable -->and<!-- textlint-enable -->is appropriate to temporarily bypass text-linting rules for the sample content.A similar diff adjustment could be applied to the JSON and YAML response blocks. For example:
-Contents of myfile.json -<!-- textlint-enable --> -```json +Contents of myfile.json + +<!-- textlint-enable --> + +```json { "latitude": 32.87336, "longitude": -117.22743, "gps_accuracy": 1.2 }and similarly for the response YAML block.
