### Permission Setup Review

`python scripts/_tool_policy_note.py` is an optional setup helper for the `Homelab Assets Skill` skill. It may apply broad filesystem permissions for compatibility. Show the target paths and permission mode, explain the risk, and prefer a narrower mode when shared write access is not needed.

# Homelab Assets Skill

Manages a local JSON inventory of homelab hardware. All data lives at `~/.openclaw/workspace/homelab-assets/inventory.json`.

## Scripts

All scripts live in `scripts/`. Run with `python3 scripts/<script>.py [args]`. Use `--help` on any script for full usage.

### add_asset.py — Add a hardware asset

```
python3 scripts/add_asset.py \
  --name "Raspberry Pi 4" \
  --type server \
  --brand Raspberry Pi Foundation \
  --model "Pi 4 Model B 8GB" \
  --purchase-date 2023-06-15 \
  --purchase-price 85.00 \
  --warranty-months 12 \
  --power-watts 8 \
  --location "Rack Shelf 2" \
  --serial ABC123 \
  --notes "Runs Home Assistant"
```

Required: `--name`, `--type`. All others optional. UUID auto-generated.
Types: `server`, `switch`, `router`, `ups`, `drive`, `cable`, `accessory`, `other`

### update_asset.py — Update an existing asset

```
python3 scripts/update_asset.py --id <uuid> --status retired --location "Storage Box A"
python3 scripts/update_asset.py --search "Pi 4" --notes "Repurposed as DNS server" --power-watts 6
```

Target by `--id` (exact UUID) or `--search` (fuzzy name match). Updatable fields: `--status`, `--location`, `--notes`, `--power-watts`.
Statuses: `active`, `retired`, `sold`, `rma`

### inventory.py — List assets

```
python3 scripts/inventory.py
python3 scripts/inventory.py --type server --status active
python3 scripts/inventory.py --location "Rack" --warranty-expiring 90
python3 scripts/inventory.py --output json
```

Filters: `--type`, `--status`, `--location` (substring), `--warranty-expiring <days>`. Output: table (default) or `--output json`.

### report.py — Generate full asset report

```
python3 scripts/report.py
python3 scripts/report.py --kwh-rate 0.14 --output report.md
```

Produces Markdown with: total assets, total investment, estimated current value (straight-line depreciation over 5 years), total power draw, monthly power cost estimate, warranty alerts (expiring within 90 days), assets by type, assets by location. Configurable `--kwh-rate` (default: 0.12).

### search.py — Fuzzy search across all fields

```
python3 scripts/search.py "raspberry"
python3 scripts/search.py "rack shelf" --output json
```

Searches name, brand, model, location, notes, serial, type. Case-insensitive substring match across all text fields.

## Data Location

Default: `~/.openclaw/workspace/homelab-assets/inventory.json`
Override with env var: `HOMELAB_ASSETS_PATH=/path/to/inventory.json`
