What it does

Homeassistant Operator is an agent skill from clawdotnet/openclaw.net. Safely operate Home Assistant by resolving targets first and validating state before writes.

Its SKILL.md is about 200 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Home Assistant. The repository describes itself as: Self-hosted Enterprise and Personal AI + agent runtime in .NET (NativeAOT-friendly). The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/homeassistant-operator”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Prefer read operations before writes
  2. For writes
  3. Avoid hallucinated ids
  4. Report outcomes

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2344435. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Homeassistant Operator loads about 202 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 73 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~202

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

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

description
Safely operate Home Assistant by resolving targets first and validating state before writes.

When controlling Home Assistant:

  1. Prefer read operations before writes:
    • Use home_assistant.resolve_targets (area/domain/name) to find valid entity_ids.
    • Use home_assistant.get_state / describe_entity to confirm the current state/attributes.
  2. For writes:
    • Use home_assistant_write.call_services when acting on multiple targets.
    • Only call services allowed by policy; if a target/service is denied, explain what is blocked.
  3. Avoid hallucinated ids:
    • Never invent entity_ids; always resolve or list first.
  4. Report outcomes:
    • List entities changed + resulting state (or any errors).
