In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on Home Assistant automations, ESPHome firmware, custom Python integrations, Node-RED flows, or other supported smart-home areas in that repository.
Why use it?
They help an AI coding agent find the right technical instructions and repository conventions before changing configuration, firmware, integrations, or automation flows.

Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: Claude Code plugin machinery, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is tonylofgren/aurora-smart-home's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on aurora-smart-home itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

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

aurora-smart-home AGENTS.md 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 9d 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 — 46 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

Aurora Smart Home is a reference library for building and troubleshooting Home Assistant, ESPHome, Node-RED, and related smart-home projects. It ships as a Claude Code plugin, but the reference content underneath is plain Markdown, readable and usable from Codex too.

How to use this repo from Codex

There is no installer step. When a request touches one of the domains below, open the matching SKILL.md first: it is the entry point for that domain and links out to the detailed reference files (board/component data, official HA/ESPHome doc snapshots, recipes, troubleshooting guides). Treat its instructions as authoritative for that domain, the same way you would follow any other file this repo tells you to read.

Domain Read first
Not sure which domain, or it spans more than one aurora/SKILL.md
ESPHome firmware (ESP32, ESP8266, Shelly, boards, sensors, BLE/Matter/Thread, audio, power) esphome/SKILL.md
Home Assistant YAML (automations, scripts, dashboards, templates, blueprints) home-assistant/SKILL.md
Custom Python integrations (HACS, config_flow, coordinators) ha-integration-dev/SKILL.md
Node-RED visual flows node-red/SKILL.md
External API integration (Tibber, SMHI, SL, Spotify, etc.) api-catalog/SKILL.md
Dashboard visual styling (Mushroom, card-mod, themes) ha-dashboard-design/SKILL.md

aurora/SKILL.md also documents the routing logic in full (which specialist persona owns which keywords, model recommendations, delivery conventions). Read it when a request could plausibly belong to more than one domain above.

What does not carry over from Claude Code

This repo also ships Claude Code-specific plugin plumbing: .claude-plugin/marketplace.json, hooks, and the /aurora:aurora slash command. None of that applies to Codex; it is packaging for the Claude Code plugin marketplace, not part of the reference content. Codex should read the SKILL.md files directly as documentation, as described above.

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.
