ha-esphome-ci-scaffold

ha-esphome-ci-scaffold is a skill for Claude Code from nolte/claude-home-assistant. It costs 220 tokens per session (1,970 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide that creates continuous-integration checks for an ESPHome device fleet. ESPHome is a system for configuring smart-home devices, and continuous integration automatically checks changes in a project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create pull-request workflows that validate all ESPHome device files, plus scheduled or pre-release validation jobs.
Why use it?
It checks every device configuration when any shared package changes, so affected devices are not missed.

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-esphome-ci-scaffold 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 12d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

HA ESPHome CI Scaffold

Spec: spec/claude/ha-esphome-ci-scaffold/en.md (EN canonical) / spec/claude/ha-esphome-ci-scaffold/de.md (DE translation). Grounding spec: spec/ha/esphome-project-structure/en.md §Validation. Workflow mechanics follow the inherited spec/project/github-actions-best-practices/ and spec/project/continuous-integration/.

Scaffolds the validation pipeline of an ESPHome fleet — the one gate that catches the failure mode a shared-package repository is built to produce.

Why this is a skill, not an agent

  • Mid-flow approval is the contract (decisive): the credential strategy for a validation run, the compile cadence, and the ESPHome version floor are operator decisions with cost and security consequences.
  • Quick, targeted change in the current context: one or two workflow files in the repository the conversation is scoped to.
  • Counter-dimension considered: enumerating the fleet and the existing pipeline is self-contained (agent bias), but the resulting workflow is iterated with the operator; the read-only audit of an existing pipeline is a different job and belongs to cicd-pipeline-reviewer (nolte-shared) / ha-esphome-fleet-reviewer.

When this skill activates

The user wants an ESPHome repository validated automatically — "ESPHome-Configs in CI prüfen", "add a GitHub Actions workflow for my device configs", "how do I catch a broken package before it reaches a device".

When NOT to activate

  • the repository tree and the package architecture → ha-esphome-fleet-scaffold
  • a red run to triage → workflow-health-triage (from the nolte-shared plugin; when it is not installed, triage the run against spec/project/workflow-health/ directly)
  • an audit of the existing pipeline → cicd-pipeline-reviewer (nolte-shared, general) / ha-esphome-fleet-reviewer (ESPHome-specific, always available here)
  • CI for a Python custom integration → ha-integration-ci-scaffold
  • local compile, flash, or OTA rollout → the ESPHome toolchain / operator

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.
