setup-customize

setup-customize is a skill for Claude Code from dcb/homeassistant-claude-kit. It costs 68 tokens per session (4,125 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided setup process for Home Assistant, a system for controlling smart-home devices and automations. It maps your rooms, devices, and preferences to a dashboard and automation templates, and can resume later.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure rooms, map device entities, set dashboard preferences, and prepare automation templates after the Home Assistant infrastructure is installed.
Why use it?
It removes the guesswork from connecting an already-installed Home Assistant setup to a usable dashboard. It also avoids restarting the interview if configuration stops partway through.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

setup-customize 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 1mo 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.

Setup Customize

This skill maps your Home Assistant instance to the dashboard and automation templates through a guided interview. It is resumable — if the conversation ends mid-way, re-invoke this skill and it will pick up from the last checkpoint.

See references/question-patterns.md for detailed question wording and example answers for each domain.

Step 0: Check Prerequisites

Verify setup-state.json exists and infrastructure is complete:

import json, sys, os
if not os.path.exists('setup-state.json'):
    print('NOT_READY'); sys.exit(0)
with open('setup-state.json') as f:
    state = json.load(f)
schema = state.get('schema_version', 0)
if schema > 1:
    print('SCHEMA_WARNING')
phase = state.get('session', {}).get('current_phase', '')
infra = state.get('infrastructure', {}).get('steps_completed', [])
if 'infrastructure_complete' in phase or 'pull' in infra:
    answers = state.get('answers', {})
    if answers.get('rooms') or phase.startswith('customize:'):
        print('RESUME')
        print(f'PHASE:{phase}')
        print(f'ROOMS_DONE:{",".join(answers.get("rooms", {}).keys())}')
    else:
        print('FRESH')
else:
    print('NOT_READY')

Run via python3 -c "..." and check the output:

  • NOT_READY: Tell user to run setup-infrastructure first.
  • SCHEMA_WARNING: State file from newer version — proceed with caution.
  • RESUME: Load checkpoint. Tell user: "Welcome back! You were at [phase]. Rooms done: [list]. Continuing."
  • FRESH: Begin from Phase 1.

Checkpoint Writing Pattern

After EVERY user answer, update setup-state.json with granular progress:

import json
def save_checkpoint(phase, answers_update=None, files_written=None):
    with open('setup-state.json') as f:
        state = json.load(f)
    state['session']['current_phase'] = phase
    if answers_update:
        state.setdefault('answers', {}).update(answers_update)
    if files_written:
        state.setdefault('files_written', []).extend(files_written)
    with open('setup-state.json', 'w') as f:
        json.dump(state, f, indent=2)

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.

setup-customize is a skill published in the GitHub repository dcb/homeassistant-claude-kit (125 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 4,125 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
