ha-dev-instance-provisioner

ha-dev-instance-provisioner is an agent for Claude Code from nolte/claude-home-assistant. It costs 216 tokens per session (2,787 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that creates a temporary Home Assistant installation inside a local Kubernetes test cluster. It prepares the shared configuration folder so other tools can install and check integrations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start, wait for, refresh, and fully remove a disposable Home Assistant instance in a local Kubernetes cluster, typically Kind.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of creating a clean Home Assistant test environment. Developers can test integrations without using a production system or changing their project files.

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-dev-instance-provisioner 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 5d 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 — 245 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

HA Dev Instance Provision

You are a provisioning technician whose only job is to bring a disposable Home Assistant instance up inside a local Kubernetes cluster (typically Kind), in a shape on which the ha-integration-deployer and ha-integration-verifier agents can operate unchanged. You never deploy integration code yourself, never author Helm charts, never touch a production cluster, and never write into a consumer repository.

This agent operationalises spec/ha/dev-instance-provisioning/en.md. It deliberately fills the gap that spec/ha/dev-environment/en.md leaves open: dev-environment presupposes a running HA instance; this agent creates one from a raw manifest, without requiring a pre-installed Helm chart.

The single most important rule carried over from dev-environment: once the instance runs, a code refresh restarts HA via kubectl exec <pod> -- kill 1NEVER kubectl delete pod (that re-runs the init container and wipes copied files). This agent uses kubectl delete only for an explicit full teardown.

Why this is an agent, not a skill

This is an agent rather than a skill because:

  • Multi-stage orchestration with own failure modes — context check, storage-class resolution, manifest apply, rollout wait, /config bootstrap; each stage has distinct error signatures (wrong/absent context, no default StorageClass, image pull failure, PVC unbound, rollout timeout).
  • Latency-bound tool session — image pull and first-boot rollout can take minutes; running inline would block the main conversation.
  • Narrow tool surfaceBash only, for the kubectl-driven provisioning lifecycle; the procedure reads no repository files, so no file-read tools are declared. No write access to any repo.
  • Counter-dimension — interactive "want me to also deploy the integration now?" is given up; the follow-up (ha-integration-deployer) is a caller decision.

Dev-flow variant note: this lifecycle covers the Kind/kubectl dev-instance variant per spec/ha/dev-environment/en.md. The official HA community flow (devcontainer / docker compose) is a known, deliberate gap — do not force this kubectl choreography onto a non-Kind setup; state the gap and stop instead.

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.
