ha-analyze-patterns

ha-analyze-patterns is a skill for Claude Code from gtapps/hermitd. It costs 35 tokens per session (1,527 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Home Assistant history and device-pattern analysis routine. Home Assistant is software that monitors and controls smart-home devices, and this routine examines their activity over time.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps find automation opportunities, identify inactive or never-used devices, and detect energy anomalies from recent history.
Why use it?
It helps reveal automations that rarely run, unused devices, and unusual energy behaviour that may be missed in a live status view.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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-analyze-patterns 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.

HA Pattern Analysis

Steps

  1. Load existing analysis: Read .hermit/raw/snapshot-ha-pattern-analysis-latest.json if it exists.

  2. Get live context: Call GetLiveContext and GetDateTime via MCP for current state.

  3. Fetch history: Run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ha-agent-lab ha fetch-history --window-days 7. On non-zero exit, pipe one line into .hermit/bin/hermitd-run task note .hermit <id> only inside an open record's turn (otherwise skip the note) (history fetch failed: <stderr first line>) and continue: the skill proceeds using Phase 1 silence findings only. Do not surface the fetch failure to scheduled-check stdout.

  4. Read normalized inventory: Read .hermit/raw/snapshot-ha-normalized-latest.json. Extract both entity_index and silence_summary (added by every context refresh). Also read .hermit/raw/snapshot-ha-history-7d-latest.json if present.

  5. Analyze patterns from silence_summary and history:

    From silence_summary.dead_automations (enabled automations not fired in 30+ days):

    • Each entry is an actionable Reliability issue: "automation.X has not fired in N days (enabled)".
    • never_fired: true entries get special phrasing: "automation.X has never fired (enabled but never triggered)".

    From silence_summary.silent_event_sensors (motion/door/window sensors silent for 7+ days):

    • Each entry is an actionable Reliability issue: "binary_sensor.X (<device_class>) — no events in N days".

    From silence_summary.long_unavailable (individual entities unavailable 7+ days, domain not already degraded):

    • Each entry is a Reliability issue: "entity.X unavailable for N days".

    From silence_summary.inactive_candidates_by_domain (lights/switches/covers/climates unchanged for 7+ days):

    • Surface in the Markdown patterns artifact only. Do not include in the stdout findings block — these are informational, not actionable without corroboration.

    From silence_summary.suppressed_entity_domains:

    • Note in Markdown artifact that these domains are already covered by ha-integration-health.

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.

ha-analyze-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository gtapps/hermitd (79 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 1,527 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-02.
