ha-boot SKILL.md skillA
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
ha-boot from gtapps/claude-code-hermit is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add gtapps/claude-code-hermit/ha-boot@git:20261007.5e8d61dPins git:20261007.5e8d61d in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Check Home Assistant connectivity, context freshness, and locale. Auto-refresh context if stale. Use at session start or when HA status is unclear.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# HA Boot Check
Run this at the start of every session or when you need to verify HA status.
This skill is the single entry point for this project — it also initializes the hermit session.
## Steps
0. **Resident startup**: Invoke the `/hermitd:resident-start` skill first to establish readiness before HA work begins. If it errors (e.g. core hermit not initialized), stop and tell the operator to run `/hermitd-homeassistant:hatch`.
1. Run `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ha-agent-lab boot status --probe` and present the result.
2. Read `.hermit/OPERATOR.md` for the stored language (in the `## HA hermit` section). All user-facing output should use this locale.
3. Check `.hermit/raw/snapshot-ha-normalized-latest.json` modification time.
- If older than 24 hours or missing, auto-run `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ha-agent-lab ha refresh-context`.
4. Optionally call `GetLiveContext` via MCP for a quick live snapshot.
5. Present a summary:
- HA connectivity: ok/failed
- Context: fresh/stale/missing (age in hours)
- Language: the stored locale
- Entity count from last context

How to install
mdr add gtapps/claude-code-hermit/ha-boot@sha256:fd686a910ab2898cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.5e8d61d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
