ha-card-sizing-determine

ha-card-sizing-determine is a skill for Claude Code from nolte/claude-home-assistant. It costs 222 tokens per session (2,583 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for choosing the size settings of an existing Home Assistant Lovelace card or panel. Lovelace is Home Assistant’s interface for arranging dashboards and cards.

In plain words
What is it for?
Determining getGridOptions() or getCardSize() values, confirming the choice with the user, and handing off a small code change to update both callbacks.
Why use it?
It helps prevent cards from being the wrong height or layout size on different devices and in different editing modes.

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-card-sizing-determine 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

HA Card Sizing Determine

Spec: spec/ha/card-panel-sizing/en.md (EN canonical) / spec/ha/card-panel-sizing/de.md (DE translation). This skill operationalises that decision procedure; it does not restate it — read the spec for the field reference, the .fit-rows mechanics, the source citations, and the canonical card examples.

Why this is a skill, not an agent

  • Mid-flow interactivity — the content-shape classification (content-dependent vs. deterministic) and the determined declaration are approved by the user before the card is patched; that approval gate is the load-bearing dimension and belongs on the visible command surface.
  • Output flows back to the main conversation — the determined getGridOptions/getCardSize values and the patch are read back inline, without a structured report boundary; the caller keeps working in the same context.
  • Bounded inline generation with a hand-off — determination plus patching two small callbacks fits inline; where a specialist edit is warranted the skill orchestrates it (skill-orchestrates, agent-executes) rather than doing isolated heavy work itself.
  • Counter-dimension considered: the source-grounded analysis could suggest an isolated agent (context-window protection), but the analysis reads one card file against a spec that is already loaded, so isolation buys nothing and the approval gate wins — skill.

When this skill activates

Use this skill when an existing custom Lovelace card or panel needs its size declaration determined or corrected: it renders wrong in one view type or mode, its edit-mode overlays sit inside the content, it clips or leaves dead space, it reflows badly on tablet/mobile, or it simply lacks a considered getGridOptions() / getCardSize(). The skill determines the correct declaration and hands it to an implementation step that patches both callbacks in the target card file.

When NOT to activate

  • greenfield card scaffolding (new card file, full lifecycle) → ha-lovelace-card-scaffold
  • orchestrating a whole frontend solution across the card family → ha-lovelace-solution
  • panels, panel-mode views, custom views, or panel UX → ha-panel-add / ha-panel-author / ha-panel-ux-audit
  • adding a feature control row to a card → ha-card-features-add
  • the card lifecycle / rendering framework or the full layout-antipattern catalogue → ha/lovelace-card-patterns / ha/lovelace-layout-antipatterns
  • deploying or runtime-verifying on a live HA instance → ha-integration-deployer / ha-integration-verifier

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.
