openhue

openhue is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aivrar/portable-hermes-agent. It costs 16 tokens per session (775 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of openhue, MIT.

A command-line tool for controlling Philips Hue smart lights through a Hue Bridge, the device that connects Hue lights to your local network.

In plain words
What is it for?
Listing lights, rooms, and scenes; switching lights on or off; changing brightness, colour, and colour temperature; and activating scenes.
Why use it?
It lets scripts and coding agents change lights without opening the Hue app. The bridge and computer must be on the same local network, and the bridge must first be paired.

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

openhue scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 7d 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.

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.
