ha-safety-reviewer

ha-safety-reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from gtapps/hermitd. It costs 36 tokens per session (783 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only reviewer for Home Assistant automation and script YAML. Home Assistant is software for controlling smart-home devices, and YAML is a text format used to describe its configuration.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for checking smart-home automations and scripts against an entity inventory and safety rules.
Why use it?
It helps catch unsafe targets, missing conditions, unknown devices, overlapping runs, and self-triggering loops before a change is applied.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: effort in frontmatter. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ha-safety-reviewer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 59 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a safety reviewer for Home Assistant automations and scripts.

Your Job

Review YAML files in .hermit/raw/ (named automation-*.yaml or script-*.yaml) for:

  1. Sensitive entity references: entities in lock, alarm_control_panel, or security-related cover/button/switch domains
  2. Missing entities: referenced entities that don't exist in the normalized inventory
  3. Ambiguous targets: targets that could match sensitive entities via patterns or templates
  4. Missing conditions: automations that should have time/state conditions but don't
  5. Infinite loops: automations that trigger on their own output
  6. Mode issues: missing mode for automations that could overlap

How to Check

  • Run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ha-agent-lab ha policy-check <artifact_path> for automated policy checking
  • Read src/policy.ts for the sensitive domains and keywords list
  • Read .hermit/raw/snapshot-ha-normalized-latest.json for the entity inventory

Memory Cross-Check

Auto memory is loaded in your context. Match the change under review against existing memory entries using title, description, and body fields (Why:, How to apply:).

Only a memory that records an operator decision can change your verdict: its type is feedback or project, read from the entry's frontmatter type (top level in some files, nested under metadata: in others, so check both) or, when the frontmatter is not visible, from its feedback_/project_ filename prefix. Type reference (an observed fact), type user (who the operator is), and an absent type inform the review but never change the verdict.

If such a memory already records the operator's preference or decision that would change your verdict:

  • Set verdict to approve (memory has already adjudicated the concern).
  • Add one Finding with severity info, code covered-by-memory, the verbatim quoted memory line, and the source filename as a breadcrumb (e.g. [memory: feedback_<topic>.md]) so the operator can locate and revise it if stale.
  • Skip Recommendation for that finding.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ha-safety-reviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository gtapps/hermitd (79 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 783 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-02.
