home-assistant-manager

home-assistant-manager is a skill for Claude Code from komal-SkyNET/claude-skill-homeassistant. It costs 92 tokens per session (1,796 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A manager for a remote Home Assistant installation, the home-automation system that controls devices and routines. It edits configuration files, checks them, deploys changes, and verifies the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to manage automations, scripts, scenes, templates, MQTT settings, and Lovelace dashboards, then inspect logs, traces, and device states.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of taking an untested configuration change live or restarting the system unnecessarily.

    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

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

home-assistant-manager 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 12d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Home Assistant Manager

Operate a remote Home Assistant instance precisely: make a change, get it live, prove it worked. Optimize for the fewest safe round-trips.

Assumptions

  • The repo you're editing is the HA /config dir, git-connected to the instance. Edits aren't live until pulled on the instance.
  • [email protected] in examples is a placeholder. Resolve the real user/host once (project CLAUDE.md, ~/.ssh/config, or ask) and if it isn't recorded in the project CLAUDE.md yet, add it so future sessions skip this step.
  • Access via one or more of: hass-cli (REST), SSH ha, or an MCP server (see below).
  • Only edit .yaml/.yml/.md. Never read/write .env or secrets.yaml; use !secret.

Remote access — pick the right tool

  • SSH ha — always works, needs no local env. Use for ha core check|restart|logs|info.
  • hass-cli (REST) — state/service calls, but needs HASS_SERVER/HASS_TOKEN in the shell before the session starts. If they're unset, hass-cli falls back to the wrong host (localhost) and errors — don't retry, check [ -n "$HASS_TOKEN" ] once, then use SSH or MCP instead.
  • MCP (preferred when available) — first-class tools for live state/control, no env juggling. Official mcp_server integration (HA core ≥2025.2) or community ha-mcp (richer, 80+ tools). Use it instead of shelling out when present.

The deploy pipeline (the one canonical flow)

Changes are not live until step 4.

  1. Edit YAML locally.
  2. Validate: ssh [email protected] "ha core check" (slow, ~30-60s — see "when to skip" below).
  3. Commit + push: git add … && git commit -m "…" && git push.
  4. Make it live: ssh [email protected] "cd /config && git pull".
  5. Apply: reload if possible, else restart (table below).
  6. Verify (next section).

Rapid iteration: skip git and scp straight to the instance, then reload — good for dashboards and tight test loops. Commit to git only once stable. scp automations.yaml [email protected]:/config/ → reload.

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
