ha-device-registry-augment

ha-device-registry-augment is a skill for Claude Code from nolte/claude-home-assistant. It costs 211 tokens per session (1,952 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Device-registry wiring for a Home Assistant custom integration. The device registry is Home Assistant's catalogue of physical or logical devices, which groups related entities together.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to describe devices with manufacturer, model, name, and identifiers; link child devices to hubs; add devices at runtime; or remove devices no longer discovered.
Why use it?
It fixes integrations that show entities as an unstructured list or leave old devices behind. It connects hubs and child devices, supports newly found devices, and removes stale ones when appropriate.

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-device-registry-augment 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 — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

HA Device Registry Augment

Spec: spec/claude/ha-device-registry-augment/en.md (EN canonical) / spec/claude/ha-device-registry-augment/de.md (DE translation).

This skill owns the device-registry hierarchyDeviceInfo, via_device, dynamic device add, and stale device removal — that ha/entity-architecture describes but no skill wires. It lifts an integration from flat entities toward the Gold devices / stale-devices / dynamic-devices rules.

Why this is a skill, not an agent

  • Human-visible augmentation surface — the user describes the device topology and reads back the DeviceInfo wiring, the via_device link, and the removal path; a skill keeps this on the visible command surface, like the sibling augment skills.
  • Mid-flow interactivity — the device topology (one device, a hub with children, per-datapoint devices), the identifier source, and whether stale-device removal applies are per-run dialogues the user confirms.
  • Bounded, inline generation — the DeviceInfo construction plus the removal hook fits inline; no isolated agent context is needed.
  • Counter-dimension considered: the draft→validate loop could be an agent, but the topology decision and the report belong in the user's working context; skill wins.

When this skill activates

Use this skill when an existing integration's entities should group into one or more devices — a single device, a hub with via_device children, or per-physical-device grouping — and when devices that disappear from the backend must be removed from the registry.

When NOT to activate

  • creating the entity platform itself → ha-entity-platform-add / ha-entity-description-map
  • config-entry diagnostics (the JSON dump) → ha-diagnostics-augment
  • device trigger / condition / action automation platforms → ha-device-automation-add
  • greenfield integration setup → ha-integration-scaffold
  • deploying/importing into a running HA instance → out of scope (generation only)

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.
