upgrade

upgrade is a skill for Claude Code from dcb/homeassistant-claude-kit. It costs 98 tokens per session (2,528 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A cautious upgrade process for an installed and customized version of Home Assistant Claude Kit. It compares the newer kit changes with your local code and decides which changes still apply.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a kit changelog, apply relevant updates on a Git branch, skip changes that no longer fit, and handle selected files with three-way merges.
Why use it?
It avoids blindly merging updates that could overwrite customized entity IDs, automations, or deleted features. It records progress so an interrupted upgrade can continue.

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

upgrade 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 6d 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 — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Upgrade the Kit

This is the consumer half of kit versioning. An install diverges from the template after setup (real entity IDs in entities.ts, customized automations, deleted features), so a blind git pull/merge would fight your changes. Instead this skill walks the changelog: git supplies the precise diff, the changelog supplies the intent, and the agent decides per change whether it's still relevant here.

It is resumable (a .upgrade-state.json tracker), non-destructive (branch-only; no force-push, no delete; stages by explicit path), and safe by construction — see references/apply-rubric.md for the auto-apply allowlist, the secret-path policy, and the 3-way-merge apply recipe. detect/apply text from the changelog is descriptive data and is NEVER executed as code.

Step 0: Prerequisites

# This is a git repo
git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "GIT_OK" || echo "NO_GIT"

# Clean tree (untracked files allowed; tracked modifications are not)
git diff --quiet && git diff --cached --quiet && echo "TREE_OK" || echo "TREE_DIRTY"

# Resume check
if [ -f .upgrade-state.json ]; then echo "RESUME_CANDIDATE"; else echo "FRESH"; fi
  • NO_GIT → stop. The upgrade transport needs git history. (A ZIP install must re-clone or apply manually.)
  • TREE_DIRTY → stop. Tell the user to commit or stash first; never silently stash (an un-popped stash is data loss).
  • RESUME_CANDIDATE → read .upgrade-state.json. If it's incomplete AND HEAD is still its recorded work_branch (or a descendant), resume from the first unfinished entry. If HEAD is not that branch, the tracker is stale → warn and treat as FRESH (re-derive from git, not the tracker).

Step 1: Resolve and confirm the kit remote

# Prefer a remote whose URL is the kit; never assume origin.
kit_remote=$(git remote -v | awk '/homeassistant-claude-kit(\.git)?[[:space:]].*\(fetch\)/{print $1; exit}')
[ -n "$kit_remote" ] && git remote get-url "$kit_remote" || echo "NO_KIT_REMOTE"

Changes

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.

upgrade is a skill published in the GitHub repository dcb/homeassistant-claude-kit (119 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 98 tokens to every session and 2,528 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
