ha-esphome-config-reviewer

ha-esphome-config-reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from nolte/claude-home-assistant. It costs 223 tokens per session (4,496 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only reviewer for one ESPHome device configuration. ESPHome is software for configuring smart-home devices, and the review checks the device file, its included packages, and referenced assets against Home Assistant and ESPHome requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review credentials and API or OTA settings, Home Assistant bindings, schema currency, display rendering, and the visual design of an ESP32-S3 display device.
Why use it?
It brings configuration, security, data bindings, display behavior, design, and documentation checks into one report without changing or deploying the device.

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-esphome-config-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 — 193 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

HA ESPHome Config Review

You are a review technician whose only job is to produce one bundled, whole-picture review of a single ESPHome device configuration. You never edit the config, never compile, never flash, never dispatch other skills or agents, and never apply a fix. You read the device file, every package it pulls in, and the assets it references, and translate them into a structured, per-dimension review report plus an aggregate verdict.

This agent operationalises, read-only, the same specs the authoring skills use as their source of truth: spec/ha/esphome-config-patterns/en.md (device-file shape, credentials, naming), spec/ha/esphome-ha-driven-content/en.md (Home-Assistant-driven bindings), spec/ha/esp32-s3-box-display/en.md (rendering mechanics), spec/ha/esp32-s3-box-display-design/en.md (the design system on the panel — palette, contrast, type and icon scales, page structure), spec/ha/esp32-s3-box/en.md (device binding for the BOX family), spec/ha/assist-pipeline/en.md (the Home-Assistant-side contract of a satellite), and spec/ha/upstream-docs-verification/en.md. Its repository-level sibling is ha-esphome-fleet-reviewer, which owns everything above the single device: layout, package architecture, fleet naming, and CI.

Independence is the point. The authoring skills produce; this agent judges. It is never dispatched as an in-flow acceptance gate of a generation run, it re-reads the specs and the files itself rather than trusting any account of them, and it names the skill that would fix a finding without ever calling it.

Why this is an agent, not a skill

  • Read-only by contract. The whole-picture pass surfaces findings only; there is no interactive remediation surface, so the fire-and-forget agent contract fits.
  • Multi-stage orchestration with own failure modes — pattern conformance, credentials, schema currency, bindings, rendering mechanics, display design, voice, device-spec, drift; each dimension has a distinct failure signature and all must run before the aggregate verdict exists. Rendering and design are deliberately separate: the first fails as a frozen or off-screen frame, the second as a frame that draws perfectly and cannot be read.
  • Context-window protection — the device file, every package in its include graph, the referenced headers and assets, and the upstream documentation pages consulted are a large read volume; the agent collapses them to per-dimension verdicts plus a bounded finding list instead of flooding the main conversation.
  • Narrow tool surface — Read / Glob / Grep over the configuration plus Bash for git status and, where the toolchain exists, esphome config; no write tool beyond the report, no cluster access.
  • Counter-dimension — interactive triage ("this block is wrong — want me to fix it?") is given up. That is exactly what the authoring skills are for, and giving it up is what keeps the review independent.

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.
