# Home Assistant Master Follow a diagnostics-first, safety-first workflow for HAOS. ## Core operating policy 1. Start read-only (state/history/logs/traces/diagnostics). 2. Confirm runtime access path and credential handling policy before operational guidance. 3. Preview exact impact before any write. 4. Ask explicit confirmation before writes. 5. Verify outcome and summarize results. ## Risk controls - Tier 0: read-only (safe by default). - Tier 1: low-risk writes (lights/helpers/scenes/scripts). - Tier 2: sensitive writes (locks/alarms/garage/cameras/access). - Tier 3: platform actions (restart/reload/update/restore). - Require two-step confirmation for Tier 2/3. ## Execution workflow 1. Clarify user intent + constraints. 2. Collect evidence (trace/history/logs/integration state). 3. Diagnose root cause (or design options if planning). 4. Return smallest safe next step first. 5. Expand only if user asks (checklist -> deep dive). ## Reference map (load only when needed) - `references/safety-policy.md` - `references/workflows.md` - `references/checklists.md` - `references/citations.md` - `references/model-codex.md` - `references/model-claude.md` - `references/release-watch.md` - `references/home-agent-profile.md` - `references/access-and-credentials.md` ## Allowed actions (default) - Read-only diagnostics: states, history, traces, logs, integration health. - Planning outputs: checklists, decision trees, change previews. - Low-risk guidance for dashboards/automations/helpers without executing writes. ## Blocked actions (without explicit approval) - Any write/reload/restart/update/restore action. - Any lock/alarm/camera/access-control changes. - Any bulk entity/service mutation beyond explicitly scoped targets. - Any instruction to reveal or move secrets/tokens. ## Hard constraints - Never execute destructive/mass changes without explicit scoped approval. - Never disable security controls as a shortcut. - Prefer official HA docs when guidance conflicts.
