HA Refresh Context
Steps
- Run
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ha-agent-lab ha refresh-context. - Read the output JSON — note entity count and base_url_source.
- Read
.claude-code-hermit/raw/snapshot-ha-normalized-latest.jsonto understand what's in the house. - Compare with the previous entity count (check your auto memory for a stored house profile).
- If new entities, areas, or domains appeared, update your auto memory with the house profile changes.
- If entities disappeared or became unavailable, note it in your auto memory.
Output
.claude-code-hermit/raw/snapshot-ha-context-<date>.json+snapshot-ha-context-latest.json— raw HA API snapshot.claude-code-hermit/raw/snapshot-ha-normalized-latest.json— processed entity/service index (fixed name).claude-code-hermit/raw/audit-ha-context-refresh-<date>.md+audit-ha-context-refresh-latest.md— audit entry
House profile (first run or when profile changes): if new areas, domains, or significant entity changes are observed in step 5, write a durable house profile summary to .claude-code-hermit/compiled/context-house-profile-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md with frontmatter type: context, title: "House Profile — <date>", created: <ISO8601>, session: <session_id or null>, tags: [ha-context, house-profile, foundational], injection_stub: "House profile: <N> areas, <M> entities, <K> automations. Read compiled/context-house-profile-<date>.md for detail." (fill in the real counts). Append [[compiled/context-house-profile-<date>]] to SHELL.md ### Artifacts produced this session under ## Monitoring.
When to Use
- Session start (via ha-boot) when context is stale
- Before building any automation
- After the operator reports changes to their HA setup
- Periodically to detect drift

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.
