Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned nodnarbnitram/claude-code-extensions at 35e7f7deae.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The Esphome Config Helper skill simplifies configuring ESPHome devices by generating YAML configuration files. It provides ready-to-use templates for common device types, GPIO pinout references to avoid conflicts, and tools for validating configurations. This helps users accelerate the setup process and troubleshoot potential errors when working with ESPHome.

When to use it

  • Starting a new ESPHome device configuration from scratch.
  • Adding sensors, switches, or displays to existing ESPHome projects.
  • Troubleshooting compilation or runtime errors in your ESPHome configurations.
  • Determining safe GPIO pins for connecting components.
  • Validating your ESPHome configuration before flashing it to a device.

Key capabilities

  • Configuration Templates: Provides pre-built templates for devices like basic ESP32 setups, sensor nodes, relay controllers, and display units.
  • GPIO Pin Reference: Offers a guide to safe GPIO pin selection, including details on strapping pins and default I²C/SPI/UART pins.
  • Error Message Lookup: Assists in identifying and resolving common errors encountered during ESPHome configuration.
  • Configuration Validation: Includes tools for validating the generated configurations before flashing.

Example prompts

  • "Show me the template for a basic ESP32 device."
  • "What are the safe GPIO pins for an ESP32?"
  • "I'm getting a compilation error, can you help me troubleshoot it?"

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill is intended for general ESPHome configuration tasks. For specific projects like those using the ESP32-S3-BOX-3, use the esphome-box3-builder skill instead.
  • Templates should be customized with device-specific values such as WiFi credentials (ideally stored in a secrets.yaml file) and GPIO pin assignments.
  • Always validate your configuration after making changes to ensure it's error-free before flashing.
