Control Philips Hue smart lights using the openhue CLI. An agent skill from daxaur/openpaw.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

C Lights is an agent skill from daxaur/openpaw. Control Philips Hue smart lights using the openhue CLI. Turn lights on/off, adjust brightness and color, activate scenes, and manage rooms and groups.

Its SKILL.md is about 370 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Personal Assistant Wizard for Claude Code — npx pawmode. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/c-lights”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a2562d1. 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 (its code samples are bash).

    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

C Lights loads about 366 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 82 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~366

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.

What This Skill Does

Enables Claude to control Philips Hue smart lighting — individual bulbs, rooms, and scenes — using the openhue CLI.

Available CLI Tool: openhue

Common Commands
bash
# List all lights
openhue get lights

# List all rooms/groups
openhue get rooms

# Turn a light on or off
openhue set light "Desk Lamp" --on
openhue set light "Desk Lamp" --off

# Set brightness (0-100)
openhue set light "Bedroom" --brightness 75

# Set color by name or hex
openhue set light "Living Room" --color red
openhue set light "Living Room" --color "#FF6600"

# Set color temperature (warm to cool, in mirek)
openhue set light "Kitchen" --color-temp 370

# Control an entire room
openhue set room "Living Room" --on --brightness 80

# List available scenes
openhue get scenes

# Activate a scene
openhue set scene "Relax" --room "Living Room"

Usage Guidelines

  • Use room-level commands when the user refers to a space, not a specific bulb
  • Brightness is 0–100; color-temp ranges roughly 153 (cool) to 500 (warm)
  • List lights/rooms first if unsure of exact names

Notes

  • Requires openhue configured with your Hue Bridge IP and API key
  • Bridge must be on the same local network
