HA Boot Check
Run this at the start of every session or when you need to verify HA status. This skill is the single entry point for this project — it also initializes the hermit session.
Steps
-
Hermit session: Invoke the
/claude-code-hermit:session-startskill first to start or resume a hermit session. This ensures session discipline is active before any HA work begins. If it errors (e.g. core hermit not initialized), stop and tell the operator to run/claude-code-homeassistant-hermit:hatch. -
Run
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ha-agent-lab boot status --probeand present the result. -
Read
.claude-code-hermit/OPERATOR.mdfor the stored language (in the## HA hermitsection). All user-facing output should use this locale. -
Check
.claude-code-hermit/raw/snapshot-ha-normalized-latest.jsonmodification time.- If older than 24 hours or missing, auto-run
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ha-agent-lab ha refresh-context.
- If older than 24 hours or missing, auto-run
-
Optionally call
GetLiveContextvia MCP for a quick live snapshot. -
Present a summary:
- HA connectivity: ok/failed
- Context: fresh/stale/missing (age in hours)
- Language: the stored locale
- Entity count from last context
If Something Is Missing
- No
.envor missing token: tell the operator to copy.env.exampleto.envand setHOMEASSISTANT_TOKEN. - No endpoint: tell the operator to set
HOMEASSISTANT_URLin.env. - No language in OPERATOR.md: ask the operator for their preferred locale.

Presence history & tracker-health report — current home/away state, reliability, recent arrival/departure transitions, and activity patterns for person/device_tracker entities. Use when the operator asks about presence history or when a presence-dependent automation (locks, alarm, vacuum, climate) misbehaves.

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Browse and explain the hermit's Home Assistant automations — list by topic, filter by keyword with plain-language YAML explanations, or sort by last-fired. Read-only. Use when the operator asks "what automations do I have / what does this one do / which haven't fired."

gtapps/domain-brainstorm
tools
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
On-demand HA-voice brainstorm — reads entity inventory, automation/script listings, and operator intent to surface at most 2 capability-gap ideas, each gated by proposal-triage before becoming a PROP. Invoke when the operator asks "what automations am I missing?", "any coverage gaps?", or "brainstorm improvements". Never runs autonomously.
