# HA YAML DRY Verifier (Codex Skill) This directory contains the `homeassistant-yaml-dry-verifier` skill and the CLI used to detect repeated YAML structures in Home Assistant automations/scripts/packages. ### Quick navigation - You are here: `codex_skills/homeassistant-yaml-dry-verifier/` - [Repo overview](../../README.md) | [Codex skills](../README.md) | [Packages](../../config/packages/README.md) | [Scripts](../../config/script/README.md) ## What This Skill Does - Detects repeated `trigger`, `condition`, `action`, and `sequence` blocks. - Detects repeated entries inside those blocks. - Detects duplicate entries within a single block (`INTRA`). - Detects package-defined scripts called from multiple files (`CENTRAL_SCRIPT`). - Collapses noisy ENTRY reports when they are already fully explained by an identical `FULL_BLOCK` finding. - Adds workflow guardrails for automation refactors that rename/remove entity references or introduce cleanup behavior: stale-reference checks, dry-run/preview expectations, explicit confirmation, and audit/backup output. ## CLI Usage Run on one file: ```bash python codex_skills/homeassistant-yaml-dry-verifier/scripts/verify_ha_yaml_dry.py config/packages/bearclaw.yaml ``` Run on broader scope: ```bash python codex_skills/homeassistant-yaml-dry-verifier/scripts/verify_ha_yaml_dry.py config/packages config/script ``` Strict mode (non-zero exit if findings exist): ```bash python codex_skills/homeassistant-yaml-dry-verifier/scripts/verify_ha_yaml_dry.py config/packages config/script --strict ``` ## Output Model The CLI prints: - Scan summary counts - `FULL_BLOCK` findings - `ENTRY` findings - `INTRA` findings - `CENTRAL_SCRIPT` findings Exit codes: - `0`: success (or findings in non-strict mode) - `1`: findings present in strict mode - `2`: parse/path errors ## Notes - This verifier intentionally keeps text output and a small CLI surface. - It does not implement suppression files, severity scoring, JSON output, or diff-only mode. - It is not an orphan entity cleaner and should not delete Home Assistant registry entries during normal DRY runs. - Treat generic `unavailable`, disabled, or no-`config_entry_id` entities as audit signals only; YAML, helper, REST, command-line, MQTT, finance, YouTube, and local infrastructure telemetry can be intentional. - Use it as a fast pre-refactor signal and pair with Home Assistant config validation before restart/reload. **All of my configuration files are tested against the most stable version of home-assistant.**
