ha-deploy

ha-deploy is a skill for Claude Code from larsboes/Axon. It costs 83 tokens per session (259 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for checking and applying existing Home Assistant configuration through its API. Home Assistant is software for managing smart-home devices and automations; the tool validates configuration, reloads reloadable settings, and verifies that the service is running.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check configuration, reload supported YAML settings, and confirm that Home Assistant is running and its automations are active.
Why use it?
It provides a defined verification step after configuration has been placed on the Home Assistant host. It avoids treating container changes or file deployment as part of this process.

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-deploy 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 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.

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.

What it actually says

ha-deploy

This skill covers the safe API boundary after configuration is already present on the Home Assistant host:

scripts/ha-deploy check
scripts/ha-deploy reload
scripts/ha-deploy verify
  • check asks Home Assistant to validate its current configuration.
  • reload applies reloadable YAML domains without restarting the service.
  • verify requires Home Assistant to report RUNNING and summarizes automation states.

The retired SSH/git-pull deployment path is intentionally absent. Container changes go through tools/service-runner.sh; overlay configuration placement belongs to the owning overlay.

Connection facts come from the active overlay. The token comes from the private secret mechanism at runtime and is never printed. Confirm before reload, because it mutates the running instance.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
