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-addon scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Home Assistant Add-On Development

Expert guidance for building, configuring, and publishing Home Assistant add-ons with Docker, Supervisor integration, and multi-architecture support.

Before You Start

This skill prevents common Home Assistant add-on development errors:

Issue Symptom Solution
Permission errors Permission denied on supervisor API calls Use correct SUPERVISOR_TOKEN and API endpoints
Configuration validation Add-on won't load Validate config.yaml schema before publishing
Docker base image errors Missing dependencies in runtime Use official Home Assistant base images (ghcr.io/home-assistant)
Ingress misconfiguration Web UI not accessible through HA Configure nginx reverse proxy correctly
Multi-arch build failures Add-on only works on one architecture Set up build.yaml with architecture matrix

Quick Start: Create an Add-On from Scratch

Step 1: Create the Add-On Directory Structure

mkdir -p my-addon/{rootfs,rootfs/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/service-name}
cd my-addon

Why this matters: Home Assistant expects specific directory layouts. The rootfs/ contains your actual application files that get packaged into the Docker image.

Step 2: Create config.yaml

---
name: My Custom Add-On
description: My awesome Home Assistant add-on
version: 1.0.0
slug: my-addon
image: ghcr.io/home-assistant/{arch}-addon-my-addon
arch:
  - amd64
  - armv7
  - aarch64
ports:
  8080/tcp: null
options:
  debug: false
schema:
  debug: bool
permissions:
  - homeassistant  # Read/write Home Assistant core data

Why this matters: This is your add-on's manifest. The slug becomes the internal identifier and determines where configuration is stored.

Step 3: Create the Dockerfile

FROM ghcr.io/home-assistant/amd64-base:latest

# Install dependencies
RUN apk add --no-cache python3 py3-pip

# Copy application
COPY rootfs /

# Set working directory
WORKDIR /app

# Install Python packages if needed
RUN if [ -f requirements.txt ]; then pip install -r requirements.txt; fi

# Run using S6 overlay
CMD ["/init"]

What ships with it

5 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.

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.
