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

home-assistant 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/ha_ws.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Home Assistant

Assume the Home Assistant connection is already configured and working. Do not guide connection setup or token creation. Use the four ha_* Tools for entity discovery, state inspection, service discovery, and ordinary device control; use the bundled WebSocket script only for deeper configuration that those Tools do not cover.

Script contract

  • Run python {baseDir}/scripts/ha_ws.py --help before first use.
  • Include HASS_TOKEN in bash.env_keys on every script call. The script reads it directly and has no token argument; never place the value in a command, file, or output.
  • The script defaults to the bundled extension's standard Home Assistant URL. For an already-configured nondefault instance, pass its existing base URL with global --url; never change connection settings as part of this Skill.
  • Keep task files under tmp/home-assistant/<task>/. Store exported configs, proposed configs, and backups there unless the user requests a durable location.
  • Treat script JSON output as data. A nonzero exit code or "ok": false means the operation did not complete.

Dashboard workflow

  1. Discover real entity ids and capabilities with ha_list_entities and ha_get_state. Use the script's read-only call command for area, floor, device, label, or entity registries when the dashboard needs those relationships.
  2. Run dashboard-list, then export the target with dashboard-export. Never design against guessed entities or overwrite a dashboard that has not been exported in the current task.
  3. Read references/dashboard-design.md when composing or substantially restructuring dashboard JSON. Preserve unknown existing keys unless the requested change removes them.
  4. Write the proposed JSON to a new task-local file and run dashboard-validate.
  5. Run dashboard-apply without --apply first. Use the SHA-256 returned by the fresh export as --expected-sha256.
  6. When the user requested the change, rerun the same command with --apply and a new --backup path. The script refuses races, creates the backup before saving, and verifies the stored config afterward.
  7. Export once more and summarize the changed views, cards, and backup path. Do not claim visual quality without asking the user to inspect the rendered Home Assistant dashboard on its intended desktop or mobile display.

Changes

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.
