ha-delete-config

ha-delete-config is a skill for Claude Code from gtapps/hermitd. It costs 37 tokens per session (569 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Home Assistant tool for deleting an automation or script through its REST API, with operator confirmation and a result check. Home Assistant is software for controlling smart-home devices and routines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify, preview, and delete a specific Home Assistant automation or script.
Why use it?
It helps remove the correct configuration while warning when a YAML-defined item cannot be deleted through the API and showing that deletion cannot be undone through the command line.

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-delete-config 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 11d 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.

Delete HA Config

Removes an automation or script from Home Assistant via DELETE /api/config/{domain}/config/{id}.

Steps

  1. Identify the target: Ask the operator which automation or script to delete (name or ID).

    • If unknown, list options: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ha-agent-lab ha list-automations or ha list-scripts.
    • The id column is the config ID needed for deletion. The friendly_name column shows the UI display name (this is HA's friendly_name attribute, which may differ from the YAML alias: field if the operator customized it via the UI).
    • The deletable column is false for YAML-packaged automations (no numeric id) — these cannot be removed via REST. Tell the operator to delete the YAML block from their config files and reload manually instead.
  2. Preview: Show the target details (entity_id, id, friendly_name, state). This action cannot be undone via CLI.

  3. Delete: Run the appropriate command:

    • ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ha-agent-lab ha delete-automation <id> for automations.
    • ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ha-agent-lab ha delete-script <id> for scripts.
  4. Check result: Read the JSON output.

    • ok: true — config deleted. The entity stays in the registry until the next reload.
    • ok: false, message: "Resource not found" — the ID doesn't exist in HA (note: HA returns 400, not 404).
    • ok: false + other message — surface the error to the operator.
  5. Reload (optional): After deletion the entity stays in the registry until the next reload. Offer to trigger one:

    • Tell the operator to go to HA Developer Tools → Services → automation.reload (or script.reload).
    • Do not use validate-apply for this — it would also push the supplied YAML as a new config.

Safety

  • Always confirm with the operator before deleting. Deletion is immediate and removes the config from HA storage.
  • Deletion does not check for sensitive entities — the automation is already gone, there is nothing to gate.
  • After deletion, the automation will no longer fire. The entity_id remains in the registry until reload.

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.
