ha-diagnostics-augment

ha-diagnostics-augment is a skill for Claude Code from nolte/claude-home-assistant. It costs 199 tokens per session (2,039 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for adding structured diagnostics to an existing Home Assistant custom integration. Diagnostics are technical information that helps explain an integration's state while hiding sensitive values.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or update diagnostics.py for a Home Assistant integration. It supports configuration-entry and, optionally, device diagnostics.
Why use it?
It extends the basic diagnostics scaffold and ensures returned information follows the project's rules, including agreed redaction of credentials and identifying data.

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-diagnostics-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 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.

HA Diagnostics Augment

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

Why this is a skill, not an agent

  • Human-visible augmentation surface — the user describes the integration and reads back diagnostics.py, the TO_REDACT set, and the conformance report; a skill keeps this on the visible command surface, like the sibling augment skills (ha-config-flow-augment, ha-coordinator-add, ha-repairs-add, ha-device-automation-add).
  • Mid-flow interactivity — the redaction-key classification (which entry.data fields are credentials/identifiers/coordinates) is a per-run dialogue the user confirms before generation.
  • Bounded, inline generation — one module plus its TO_REDACT set and the dump structure fit inline; no isolated agent context is needed.
  • Counter-dimension considered: the derive→validate loop could be an agent, but the redaction-key classification belongs in the user's working context; skill wins.

When this skill activates

Use this skill to enrich an existing integration's diagnostics beyond the scaffold baseline — a complete, structured async_get_config_entry_diagnostics dump (and optionally async_get_device_diagnostics) that routes every sensitive field through async_redact_data and includes redacted coordinator snapshots.

When NOT to activate

  • auditing redaction gaps across modules (findings report) → ha-security-audit
  • the bare diagnostics stub at greenfield creation → ha-integration-scaffold
  • scoring the diagnostics quality-scale rule across all rules → ha-quality-scale-audit / ha/quality-scale
  • deploying/importing into a running HA instance → out of scope

Hard rules

  1. Existing integration only. custom_components/<domain>/manifest.json must exist. When diagnostics.py already exists, edit it — never blindly overwrite.
  2. Read spec/ha/diagnostics/en.md first. Do not generate from memory.
  3. async_get_config_entry_diagnostics contract. Export async_get_config_entry_diagnostics(hass, entry) -> dict as a top-level async function — HA invokes it automatically on "Download Diagnostics". Optionally export async_get_device_diagnostics(hass, entry, device) -> dict with the same redaction contract.
  4. async_redact_data is mandatory. Wrap every entry.data and entry.options lookup — and every coordinator nesting that carries sensitive fields — in homeassistant.components.diagnostics.async_redact_data(..., TO_REDACT). Never use manual logic (if "api_key" in d: d["api_key"] = "***"), a manual "REDACTED" string, or field deletion (del d["api_key"]); **REDACTED** preserves length/format debugging and is the HA convention.
  5. Module-constant TO_REDACT frozenset. Define TO_REDACT as a module constant (or in const.py when shared across hooks) holding every entry.data key classified as a credential or identifier — typically api_key, password, token, secret, auth, bearer, plus integration-specific tenant/account slugs. Keep it in sync with the entry.data schema.
  6. Identifiers and coordinates too. Include multi-tenant identifiers (tenant_slug, tenant_id, org_id) and coordinates (latitude, longitude) in TO_REDACT — identifying, therefore kept out of forum reports.
  7. Coordinator data in the dump. Include the current coordinator.data of every registered coordinator and redact it when the API response carries sensitive fields; reduce to a subset only when the full dump would be too large. Never dump logs or stack traces.
  8. Derive, don't guess. Derive the entry.data / entry.options key space from the config flow and setup; ask when uncertain.
  9. Name per spec/ha/naming-conventions/en.md and verify HA internals against the official docs (see spec/ha/upstream-docs-verification/en.md).

ha-diagnostics-augment is a skill published in the GitHub repository nolte/claude-home-assistant (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 199 tokens to every session and 2,039 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
