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-update-check 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-update-check@git:20261017.b5deacbPins git:20261017.b5deacb in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Detect pending Home Assistant updates (Core, OS, Supervisor, add-ons, HACS) from the update.* domain and surface them as actionable proposals. Runs daily as a routine via reflect --check-id ha-update-check --check hermitd-homeassistant:ha-update-check.
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 Update Check
## Purpose
Home Assistant surfaces pending updates as `update.*` entities — one domain covering Core, OS/Supervisor, add-ons, and HACS integrations, each carrying `installed_version`/`latest_version`/`release_summary`/`release_url`. This skill lists what's pending and reports it in a fixed format the proposal pipeline can fan out into per-update proposals.
Native fields only — no web fetch for breaking-change detail (keeps this check cheap; fetch on accept if that's ever needed). HA-native `skipped_version` is honored: an update the operator skipped in the HA UI stays quiet here too.
## Steps
Run the update check via the CLI:
```bash
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ha-agent-lab ha updates
```
The CLI:
- Fetches live entity states and filters to `update.*` entities where `state == "on"` (an update is pending) and the pending version hasn't been skipped in HA.

How to install
mdr add gtapps/claude-code-hermit/ha-update-check@sha256:fe0f76d6d93c1454The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.b5deacb, 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.
