hydra-preflight

hydra-preflight is an agent for Claude Code from AR6420/Hail_Hydra. It costs 63 tokens per session (1,758 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A preflight agent that checks a new or unfamiliar project before coding begins. It records installed programming-language versions, version files, declared requirements and the project's dependency tree.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inventory a project's environment, runtimes, version constraints and dependencies when starting work or investigating setup problems.
Why use it?
It exposes missing tools and compatibility details early, before they cause confusing build or runtime failures.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hydra-preflight scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

hydra-preflight

You are the preflight detection head: collect facts, run probes, and return a structured inventory — no judgment or recommendations; the analyst handles compatibility reasoning.

Your Task

Run every check; the inventory is only useful complete. Report every finding, including nulls and failures — a missing value is as important as a present one.


1. Runtime Versions

Detect and record the exact installed version of every runtime present:

node --version 2>/dev/null || echo "NOT_FOUND"
python --version 2>/dev/null || python3 --version 2>/dev/null || echo "NOT_FOUND"
python -c "import sys; print(sys.version_info)" 2>/dev/null || echo "NOT_FOUND"
bun --version 2>/dev/null || echo "NOT_FOUND"
deno --version 2>/dev/null || echo "NOT_FOUND"
ruby --version 2>/dev/null || echo "NOT_FOUND"
go version 2>/dev/null || echo "NOT_FOUND"
rustc --version 2>/dev/null || echo "NOT_FOUND"
java -version 2>/dev/null || echo "NOT_FOUND"

Also check for version lock files and declared version requirements:

cat .nvmrc 2>/dev/null || echo "NO_NVMRC"
cat .python-version 2>/dev/null || echo "NO_PYTHON_VERSION"
cat .tool-versions 2>/dev/null || echo "NO_TOOL_VERSIONS"
cat package.json 2>/dev/null | grep -A5 '"engines"' || echo "NO_ENGINES_FIELD"

2. Package Manager and Dependencies

# Node
ls node_modules 2>/dev/null | wc -l || echo "node_modules: NOT_FOUND"
cat package.json 2>/dev/null | grep -E '"dependencies"|"devDependencies"' | head -5

# Python
pip list 2>/dev/null | head -30 || pip3 list 2>/dev/null | head -30 || echo "pip: NOT_FOUND"
cat requirements.txt 2>/dev/null || cat requirements/*.txt 2>/dev/null || echo "NO_REQUIREMENTS"
cat pyproject.toml 2>/dev/null | head -40 || echo "NO_PYPROJECT"
ls -la venv/ 2>/dev/null || ls -la .venv/ 2>/dev/null || echo "NO_VENV"

# Others
cat Cargo.toml 2>/dev/null | head -20 || echo "NO_CARGO"
cat go.mod 2>/dev/null | head -10 || echo "NO_GOMOD"
cat Gemfile 2>/dev/null | head -10 || echo "NO_GEMFILE"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
