Philips Hue

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Phrases: philips hue

Example prompts

• “/philips-hue”

Requirements

• Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Every write (light-set, grouped-light-set, scene-recall) acts on the physical home: confirm the exact light/room and the change with the…
2. 2Reading (lights, rooms, sensors, auth) needs no confirmation.
3. 3This connector only targets CLIP v2 (/clip/v2). CLIP v1 is legacy and not supported.
4. 4The local API works only when the runtime is on the same LAN as the bridge; off-network, switch to the remote OAuth path above.
5. 5Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/philips-hue.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the key…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6dc5d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • discovery.meethue.com

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Philips Hue loads about 902 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 328 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~44

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~902

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
