  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 1 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by Lifecycle-Innovations-Limited on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Ops Home AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/Lifecycle-Innovations-Limited/claude-ops/tree/main/claude-ops/skills/ops-home
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Lifecycle-Innovations-Limited/claude-ops.git /tmp/claude-ops
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-ops/claude-ops/skills/ops-home .claude/skills/ops-home
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Ops Home in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Ops Home on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Ops Home is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

OPS ► HOME — Smart Home Command Center (Homey Pro)

Load ops-rules before acting. Public repo (no personal data). Outbound: one draft → one approval → one send. If AskUserQuestion / Workflow are missing, follow Rule 10 in ops-rules (Hermes: numbered options / two-turn Telegram card; delegate_task).

Runtime Context

Before executing, load available context:

  1. Preferences: Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/data/ops-ops-marketplace}/preferences.json

    • timezone — display all timestamps in user's timezone
    • home_automation.homey_local_url — e.g. http://192.168.1.100 (preferred path, faster, no cloud dependency)
    • home_automation.homey_local_token — Personal Access Token for local API
    • home_automation.homey_cloud_token — Athom OAuth token for cloud fallback
    • home_automation.homey_id — Homey ID (cloud resolution)
  2. Daemon health: Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR}/daemon-health.json

    • If action_needed is not null → surface it before running any Homey operations
    • On any auth/connectivity failure in this skill, write action_needed back to daemon-health.json
  3. Secrets: Resolve Homey credentials via userConfig → env vars → Doppler → keychain (see Phase 1 below)

Agent Teams support

If CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1 is set, use Agent Teams for parallel hub probing:

TeamCreate("home-team")
Agent(team_name="home-team", name="devices-scanner", prompt="List all Homey devices, group by zone, return online/offline state and current capabilities")
Agent(team_name="home-team", name="flows-scanner", prompt="List all flows and their last-fired timestamps")
Agent(team_name="home-team", name="energy-scanner", prompt="Pull live power draw + today's kWh + top consumers, flag anomalies vs 7-day baseline")
Agent(team_name="home-team", name="presence-scanner", prompt="Return presence state and active alarms")

If the flag is NOT set, dispatch ops:home-agent as standard fire-and-forget subagents per scope (devices, flows, energy, presence, alarms).

Phase 1 — Resolve credentials

Resolve Homey credentials in this order. Local path is preferred (faster, works offline, lower latency):

bash
PREFS_PATH="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/data/ops-ops-marketplace}/preferences.json"

# 1. Plugin userConfig (preferences.json)
HOMEY_LOCAL_URL=$(jq -r '.home_automation.homey_local_url // empty' "$PREFS_PATH" 2>/dev/null)
HOMEY_LOCAL_TOKEN=$(jq -r '.home_automation.homey_local_token // empty' "$PREFS_PATH" 2>/dev/null)
HOMEY_CLOUD_TOKEN=$(jq -r '.home_automation.homey_cloud_token // empty' "$PREFS_PATH" 2>/dev/null)
HOMEY_ID=$(jq -r '.home_automation.homey_id // empty' "$PREFS_PATH" 2>/dev/null)

# 2. Environment variables (override userConfig if set)
[ -n "$HOMEY_LOCAL_URL" ] || HOMEY_LOCAL_URL="${HOMEY_LOCAL_URL:-}"
[ -n "$HOMEY_LOCAL_TOKEN" ] || HOMEY_LOCAL_TOKEN="${HOMEY_LOCAL_TOKEN:-}"
[ -n "$HOMEY_CLOUD_TOKEN" ] || HOMEY_CLOUD_TOKEN="${HOMEY_CLOUD_TOKEN:-${HOMEY_ACCESS_TOKEN:-}}"
[ -n "$HOMEY_ID" ] || HOMEY_ID="${HOMEY_ID:-}"

# 3. Doppler fallback (project: homey-pro)
if [ -z "$HOMEY_LOCAL_TOKEN" ] && command -v doppler &>/dev/null; then
  HOMEY_LOCAL_TOKEN=$(doppler secrets get HOMEY_LOCAL_TOKEN --project homey-pro --plain 2>/dev/null)
fi
if [ -z "$HOMEY_CLOUD_TOKEN" ] && command -v doppler &>/dev/null; then
  HOMEY_CLOUD_TOKEN=$(doppler secrets get HOMEY_ACCESS_TOKEN --project homey-pro --plain 2>/dev/null)
fi
if [ -z "$HOMEY_LOCAL_URL" ] && command -v doppler &>/dev/null; then
  HOMEY_LOCAL_URL=$(doppler secrets get HOMEY_LOCAL_URL --project homey-pro --plain 2>/dev/null)
fi
if [ -z "$HOMEY_ID" ] && command -v doppler &>/dev/null; then
  HOMEY_ID=$(doppler secrets get HOMEY_ID --project homey-pro --plain 2>/dev/null)
fi

# 4. Keychain fallback
[ -z "$HOMEY_LOCAL_TOKEN" ] && HOMEY_LOCAL_TOKEN=$(security find-generic-password -s "homey-local-token" -w 2>/dev/null)
[ -z "$HOMEY_CLOUD_TOKEN" ] && HOMEY_CLOUD_TOKEN=$(security find-generic-password -s "homey-cloud-token" -w 2>/dev/null)

If neither a (HOMEY_LOCAL_URL + HOMEY_LOCAL_TOKEN) pair nor (HOMEY_CLOUD_TOKEN + HOMEY_ID) is resolvable, tell the user and exit gracefully:

No Homey credentials configured. Run /ops:setup --section home to configure your Homey Pro hub.

Write action_needed: "configure_homey" to daemon-health.json and exit.

Set helpers used by all phases below:

bash

If [N] alarms active is non-zero AND any are critical (smoke/leak/security), surface immediately at top of output and suggest piping to /ops:ops-comms to broadcast.

Use AskUserQuestion for next-action selection (max 4 options per Rule 1).


DEVICES

List devices, group by zone. Support filter and bulk-toggle.

bash
# All devices with zone + capabilities
homey_call "/devices/device" | jq '[.[] | {
  id: .id,
  name: .name,
  zone: .zoneName,
  driverId: .driverId,
  class: .class,
  available: .available,
  capabilities: .capabilities,
  capabilityValues: (.capabilitiesObj // {} | to_entries | map({key: .key, value: .value.value}))
}]'

# Zones for grouping
homey_call "/zones/zone" | jq '[.[] | {id: .id, name: .name}]'

Apply filter from $ARGUMENTS:

  • devices lights → filter class == "light" or capability includes dim/light_hue
  • devices locks → filter class == "lock" or capability includes locked
  • devices climate → filter capability includes target_temperature or measure_temperature
  • devices sensors → filter capability starts with measure_ or alarm_
  • devices --off → set onoff=false on filtered set (REQUIRES AskUserQuestion confirmation — destructive)
  • devices --on → set onoff=true on filtered set (REQUIRES AskUserQuestion confirmation)

Render grouped by zone:

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 Actions:
 a) Toggle a specific device
 b) Turn all [filter] off
 c) Filter by zone
 d) View device capabilities
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────

For toggle / set capability:

bash
# Set onoff
homey_call "/devices/device/${DEVICE_ID}/capability/onoff" PUT '{"value": false}'

# Set dim (0.0 - 1.0)
homey_call "/devices/device/${DEVICE_ID}/capability/dim" PUT '{"value": 0.5}'

# Set target temperature
homey_call "/devices/device/${DEVICE_ID}/capability/target_temperature" PUT '{"value": 21.0}'

Bulk operations REQUIRE AskUserQuestion confirmation (Rule 5 — destructive-like behavior). Show device count + sample before executing.


FLOWS (and SCENES — alias)

Homey calls scenes "flows". Both flow and scene arguments route here.

bash
# List flows
homey_call "/flow/flow" | jq '[.[] | {
  id: .id,
  name: .name,
  enabled: .enabled,
  lastExecuted: .lastExecuted,
  triggerable: .triggerable
}]'

If $ARGUMENTS includes a flow name (e.g. flow movie-time, scene good-night), fuzzy-match by name (case-insensitive substring), then trigger:

bash
FLOW_ID="[matched id]"
homey_call "/flow/flow/${FLOW_ID}/trigger" POST '{}'

If multiple flows match, present top 4 via AskUserQuestion (Rule 1) and let user pick.

If flow list or no flow name provided, render the list with last-fired age.

Common scene names users may try: movie-time, good-night, leaving-home, coming-home, wake-up, dinner, away. Fuzzy match handles variations (goodnight, good night, night).

ENERGY

Live power draw + today's kWh + top consumers + anomaly detection.

bash
# Live power
homey_call "/energy/live" | jq '{
  totalWatts: .totalPower // 0,
  byDevice: [.devices // {} | to_entries[] | {id: .key, watts: .value.power}] | sort_by(-.watts) | .[:10]

# Today's energy report
TODAY=$(date -u +"%Y-%m-%d")
homey_call "/energy/report?period=today" | jq '{
  todayKwh: .totalEnergy // 0,
  byZone: .zones // {}
}'

# 7-day baseline for anomaly detection
homey_call "/energy/report?period=last7days" | jq '.dailyAverage // 0'

Compute anomaly: if todayKwh > 1.5 * dailyAverage, flag as anomaly.

Render:

If anomaly detected AND cost projection > threshold, route to /ops:ops-fires (see Phase 3).

Mobile mode: 3 lines only — now [W]W · today [kWh] (baseline [kWh]) · top: [device] [W]W.


CLIMATE

Per-zone temperature, humidity, target temp, heating mode. Allow setting.

bash
# Climate devices
homey_call "/devices/device" | jq '[.[] | select(
  (.capabilities | index("target_temperature")) or
  (.capabilities | index("measure_temperature")) or
  (.capabilities | index("measure_humidity"))
) | {
  name: .name,
  zone: .zoneName,
  measure_temperature: (.capabilitiesObj.measure_temperature.value // null),
  target_temperature: (.capabilitiesObj.target_temperature.value // null),
  measure_humidity: (.capabilitiesObj.measure_humidity.value // null),
  mode: (.capabilitiesObj.thermostat_mode.value // null)
}] | group_by(.zone)'

If $ARGUMENTS is climate <zone> <temp> (e.g. climate bedroom 19), find the thermostat in that zone and set target temp via AskUserQuestion confirmation:

bash
homey_call "/devices/device/${THERMO_ID}/capability/target_temperature" PUT '{"value": 19.0}'

Render:

 Actions:
 a) Set temperature for a zone
 b) Switch mode (heat/cool/off/auto)
 c) View 24h history
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────

PRESENCE

Who is home, based on Homey presence detection.

bash
homey_call "/presence" | jq '[.[] | {
  id: .id,
  name: .name,
  present: .present,
  lastSeen: .lastSeen

 Actions:
 a) Trigger 'leaving-home' flow
 b) Trigger 'coming-home' flow
 c) Check presence-linked automations
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────

If house has been empty for > 1 hour, surface "empty since HH:MM" for cross-reference with /ops:ops-go briefing.


ALARMS / SECURITY

Active alarms (smoke, water, motion in armed zone, contact). Allow arm/disarm.

bash
# Active alarms
homey_call "/alarms/alarm" | jq '[.[] | select(.active == true) | {
  type: .type,
  zone: .zoneName,
  device: .deviceName,
  triggeredAt: .triggeredAt,
  severity: .severity
}]'

# Security mode (fw 13.2.0+: /api/manager/system — NOT /system/info, that returns the Web App HTML)
homey_call "/system" | jq '.securityMode // "unknown"'

If $ARGUMENTS is alarm arm or alarm disarm, set security mode (use a flow if Homey exposes it as such — typical Homey setups use a "Security Armed" flow):

bash
# Find the arm/disarm flow by name
FLOW_ID=$(homey_call "/flow/flow" | jq -r '.[] | select(.name | test("arm|security"; "i")) | .id' | head -1)
homey_call "/flow/flow/${FLOW_ID}/trigger" POST '{}'

Arm/disarm REQUIRES AskUserQuestion confirmation (Rule 5 — security-impacting action).

Render:

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 Actions:
 a) Arm security
 b) Disarm security
 c) Clear all active alarms
 d) Broadcast critical alarm to /ops:ops-comms
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Critical alarm protocol: If a smoke / water / unauthorized-entry alarm fires, IMMEDIATELY suggest piping a message to /ops:ops-comms (WhatsApp + Telegram). Stage the draft and follow Rule 6 (per-message approval). Never auto-send.

Example draft (stage for approval):

Channel: WhatsApp + Telegram
To: [user's emergency contacts from preferences.json → emergency_contacts]
Body:
  [HOMEY ALERT] Smoke alarm triggered in [zone] at [time].
  Device: [device name].
  Check the home immediately. Hub: [hub name].

Then AskUserQuestion with [Send] / [Edit] / [Skip].


HEALTH (health, diagnose, outage)

Plejd-style mass-outage detector. Groups offline devices by driverUri (the source app/integration), then flags any driver where > 30% of its devices are offline as a probable single-driver outage — usually an app crash, expired credentials, or hub-side disconnect inside that integration.

bash
# Pull devices once, then group/aggregate locally
DEVICES_JSON=$(homey_call "/devices/device")

echo "$DEVICES_JSON" | jq '{
  total: (. | length),
  online: ([.[] | select(.available == true)] | length),
  offline: ([.[] | select(.available == false)] | length),
  drivers: (
    [.[] | {driverUri: (.driverUri // "unknown"), available: .available}]
    | group_by(.driverUri)
    | map({
        driverUri: .[0].driverUri,
        total: length,
        offline: ([.[] | select(.available == false)] | length),
        offline_pct: (([.[] | select(.available == false)] | length) * 100 / length)
      })
    | sort_by(-.offline_pct)
  )
}'

Driver short-name: strip homey:app: prefix and dotted namespace (e.g. homey:app:com.plejd → com.plejd → plejd). Display logic:

  • Total banner: total devices: N (X online, Y offline).
  • For each driver where offline_pct > 30 AND total >= 2, surface a MASS OUTAGE line with the count, percentage, and a likely-cause hint based on the driver namespace.
  • For drivers where total == 1 AND offline, label as likely powered off (single device — not a mass outage).
  • For drivers where offline_pct <= 30, list under a partial outage section only if offline >= 2.

Likely-cause hints (keyed by driver namespace substring):

  • plejd, hue, tradfri, lifx, tuya, smartthings, homekit → app credentials expired or app crashed. Fix: open Homey app → Apps → [app name] → reconfigure.
  • chromecast, sonos, airplay → media device dropped off network. Fix: power-cycle device + check Wi-Fi.
  • zwave, zigbee, 433 → radio congestion or hub-mesh issue. Fix: check Homey → Settings → Z-Wave/Zigbee mesh.
  • whisker, litter, vacuum, generic single-device → likely powered off.
  • Unknown → unknown integration — check the app's status in Homey app → Apps.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

HOMEY ► HEALTH
  total devices: 181 (82 online, 99 offline)

  ⚠ MASS OUTAGE: com.plejd — 96 / 96 offline (100%)
    likely: app credentials expired or app crashed.
    Fix: open Homey app → Apps → Plejd → reconfigure.

  whisker: 1 / 1 offline (100%) — likely powered off
  chromecast: 2 / 4 offline (50%) — media device dropped off network.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 Actions:
 a) Reconfigure flagged app (deep-link to Homey app)
 b) Power-cycle Homey hub
 c) Re-run health scan after fix
 d) Broadcast outage to /ops:ops-comms
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Mobile mode:

home health: 82/181 online.
⚠ plejd: 96/96 offline (app down — reconfigure in Homey app).
whisker: 1/1 offline (powered off).
next: /ops-home devices | reconfigure plejd

If any MASS OUTAGE is flagged, surface it at the top of the default STATUS dashboard as well (after the DEVICES line), so the user sees it without needing to run /ops-home health explicitly.

Cross-channel: if MASS OUTAGE count > 50 devices OR a security-related integration is down (alarm panel, locks, cameras), suggest piping to /ops:ops-comms (Rule 6 — stage draft, never auto-send).


SONOS (sonos, speaker, music, play, volume, group)

Sonos multi-room audio is controlled independently of Homey, directly over the LAN via UPnP/SOAP + SSDP discovery. A full reusable toolchain is installed on this machine (set up 2026-06-28). Pick the layer that fits the task — they are redundant control paths over the same speakers, so any one works.

Installed tooling (all local, all reusable)

CLIs (use for quick one-shot control from Bash; each has a distinct name to avoid the sonos collision):

HTTP API bridge — jishi/node-sonos-http-api at ~/Projects/sonos-tools/node-sonos-http-api (default port 5005). Start with node server.js (background it). Gives a simple REST surface for automations:

bash
curl http://localhost:5005/zones                       # all zones + state
curl http://localhost:5005/Kitchen/play
curl http://localhost:5005/Living%20Room/volume/25
curl http://localhost:5005/Bedroom/sleep/600           # 10-min sleep timer

soco-cli ships its own equivalent server too: sonos-http-api-server.

MCP servers (use these for agent/LLM-driven control — they expose Sonos as callable tools; preferred for this skill):

  • sonos-ts-mcp (Tommertom, TypeScript) — registered + live. Served through the local mcp-proxy at http://127.0.0.1:8090/servers/sonos-ts-mcp/mcp (entry in ~/.claude.json + ~/.claude/mcp-proxy/servers.json). Tools: device discovery, playback, volume, EQ, alarms, grouping, library browse. All tools take a deviceId (room name, UUID, or IP). After a Claude restart the mcp__sonos-ts-mcp__* tools are available directly.
  • sonos-mcp-server (WinstonFassett, Python/uv) at ~/Projects/sonos-tools/sonos-mcp-server — run with uv run mcp run server.py. Secondary/redundant; register the same proxy way if needed.

Routing sub-actions

InputAction
sonos / sonos statussonos-steipete discover then per-zone status → render table
sonos play [room]soco "<room>" play (default to first zone if none given)
sonos pause [room]soco "<room>" pause
sonos volume <room> <0-100>soco "<room>" volume <n> — confirm if >60 (loud)
sonos group <room> <room>join second room to first's group (soco group commands)
sonos play <uri/playlist>use MCP tool or sonos-svrooij to enqueue + play

If sonos-steipete discover returns 0 speakers, there are no Sonos devices reachable on the current LAN (or the Mac is on a different VLAN/Wi-Fi than the speakers). Report that plainly — it is not a tooling failure. Both the CLI and the MCP confirmed 0 devices at install time, which is expected off-network.

Loud-volume (>60) and group-teardown are mildly disruptive — confirm via AskUserQuestion before applying (Rule 5 spirit).


SETUP FLOW (setup, configure, init, token)

Delegate to the central setup wizard with the home section:

/ops:setup --section home

If for any reason the wizard is not available, run the inline credential discovery (background per Rule 4):

bash
# 1. Env vars
printenv HOMEY_LOCAL_URL HOMEY_LOCAL_TOKEN HOMEY_ACCESS_TOKEN HOMEY_CLOUD_TOKEN HOMEY_ID 2>/dev/null

# 2. Shell profiles
grep -hE 'HOMEY_' ~/.zshrc ~/.bashrc ~/.zprofile ~/.envrc 2>/dev/null | grep -v '^#'

# 3. Doppler — homey-pro project
doppler secrets --project homey-pro --config prd --json 2>/dev/null | \
  jq -r 'to_entries[] | select(.key | test("HOMEY"; "i")) | "\(.key)=(present)"'

# 4. Keychain
security find-generic-password -s "homey-local-token" 2>/dev/null
security find-generic-password -s "homey-cloud-token" 2>/dev/null

# 5. Local network scan for Homey Pro (mDNS)
dns-sd -B _homey._tcp 2>/dev/null & sleep 2; kill $! 2>/dev/null

# 6. Existing prefs
jq -r '.home_automation // empty' "$PREFS_PATH" 2>/dev/null

If local IP discovered but no token, instruct (Rule 3 — never silently skip):

  1. Try https://developer.athom.com/tools/api Web API playground to generate a Personal Access Token with scopes homey, homey.device, homey.flow, homey.zone.
  2. If browser automation is available (Kapture), navigate https://my.homey.app/account and automate token creation.
  3. Manual fallback: ask user to paste the token via AskUserQuestion.

Verify connectivity after acquisition:

bash
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer ${PROVIDED_TOKEN}" \
  "${PROVIDED_LOCAL_URL}/api/manager/system" | jq '{name, firmware: .firmwareVersion}'

If 200 — confirm success and write to preferences.json under home_automation.*. If 401/403 — token invalid, re-prompt via AskUserQuestion ([Paste new token], [Deep hunt — spawn agent], [Skip]).


Phase 3 — Cross-channel integration

After producing the main output, evaluate cross-channel triggers:

  1. Critical alarm → comms — If smoke / water leak / unauthorized-entry alarm is active, suggest piping to /ops:ops-comms (WhatsApp/Telegram). Stage the draft; follow Rule 6 (per-message approval, never auto-send).

  2. Energy anomaly → fires — If todayKwh > 1.5 * 7d_average AND projected monthly cost spike > $50 / €50, surface as a fire item:

    • Write the anomaly to daemon-health.json under action_needed
    • Suggest running /ops:ops-fires
  3. Presence → morning briefing — If house has been empty > 1 hour during typical wake hours (06:00–10:00 in user's timezone), suggest cross-referencing /ops:ops-go:

    • "Home empty since [HH:MM] — confirm intended for /ops:ops-go briefing?"
  4. Hub offline → status — If local API fails AND cloud API fails, write action_needed: "homey_unreachable" to daemon-health and exit with an action banner.

These integrations are SUGGESTIONS shown in the action footer — never auto-execute Rule-5 / Rule-6 protected actions.


Phase 4 — Error handling

FailureBehavior
Local 401Token expired. Tell user to run /ops:setup --section home.
Local connection refused / timeoutFall back to cloud API. Log "transport=cloud (local unreachable)".
Cloud 401Cloud token expired. Tell user to refresh via Athom OAuth.
Both local + cloud failReport which channel failed; write action_needed: "homey_unreachable" to daemon-health; exit with banner.
jq missingPrint raw JSON, suggest brew install jq.
No credentials at allExit gracefully with /ops:setup --section home instruction.

Audit log every state-changing call (PUT capability, POST flow trigger, arm/disarm) to ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR}/ops-home-audit.log with timestamp, action, device/flow id, result.


Output style

  • Terse-direct. Plain text in mobile mode (Rule 7). Tables only on desktop.
  • Always show a hotkey footer ([d] devices [f] flows [e] energy [c] climate [p] presence [a] alarms) on desktop.
  • Use AskUserQuestion (max 4 options per Rule 1) for any state-changing action.
  • Never auto-send messages — always stage drafts per Rule 6.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Ops Home AI skill do?

OPS on-demand: This skill should be used when the user asks to "homey", "smart home", or…

Why use Ops Home on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Ops Home is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Ops Home in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Lifecycle-Innovations-Limited/claude-ops/tree/main/claude-ops/skills/ops-home. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Ops Home?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Ops Home?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Ops Home with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Ops Home AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Lifecycle-Innovations-Limited under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
