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 sammcj/agentic-coding at b3333f90b6.

    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 allows an AI agent to interact with your Home Assistant instance. It can retrieve information about device states, control devices (turn on lights, adjust thermostats), and execute automations within your smart home environment. The skill facilitates communication through a standardized API, enabling agents to perform actions without requiring direct access to the Home Assistant UI.

When to use it

  • Smart Home Automation: Automate tasks like turning off all lights when you leave or adjusting the thermostat based on weather conditions.
  • Device Status Monitoring: Get real-time status updates on your smart home devices, such as checking if a door is locked or a sensor is triggered.
  • Voice Control Integration: Enable voice commands to control your Home Assistant devices through an AI agent.
  • Complex Scene Management: Trigger complex scenes involving multiple device actions and automations with a single command.

Key capabilities

  • Device state retrieval
  • Device control (on/off, adjustments)
  • Automation execution
  • Standardized API for communication

Example prompts

  • "What is the current temperature in the living room?"
  • "Turn on the kitchen lights."
  • "Run the 'movie night' scene."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires a running Home Assistant instance and proper authentication credentials to be provided to the AI agent.
