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

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: homeassistant.local.

    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.

    Hosts contacted

    homeassistant.locallocal

  • 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 balloob/llm-skills at a83dfdbf28.

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

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to interact with Home Assistant, a popular open-source home automation platform. It allows agents to discover and install specific skills within the Home Assistant ecosystem to extend functionality.

When to use it

  • Automating smart home devices like lights, thermostats, or locks via natural language commands.
  • Integrating third-party services (e.g., weather APIs, security cameras) into your existing smart home setup.
  • Managing complex automation scenarios that require coordination between multiple devices.
  • Deploying custom integrations to fill gaps in native Home Assistant support.

Key capabilities

  • Discover available skills for installation within Home Assistant.
  • Install new skills directly through the AI agent interface.
  • Manage and configure Home Assistant integrations programmatically.
  • Extend platform functionality with community-developed modules.

Example prompts

  • "Install the 'Z-Wave JS' skill in my Home Assistant instance."
  • "Help me set up a weather integration using the OpenWeatherMap skill."
  • "What skills are available for controlling Philips Hue lights in Home Assistant?"

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your Home Assistant instance is accessible and properly configured before attempting to install new skills. Some integrations may require additional API keys or network permissions, so verify prerequisites before deployment.
