ai-setup: Hook for Claude Code

.claude/settings.json

PostToolUseFailure is a hook for Claude Code from caliber-ai-org/ai-setup. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A failed-tool hook that runs a Caliber command after an agent tool call fails.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to send every tool failure to Caliber's learning command.
Why use it?
It records tool failures so they can be observed for session learning and correction detection.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is caliber-ai-org/ai-setup's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on ai-setup itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ai-setup configures →

One of 8 entries in settings.json — they are configured in one file and arrive together.

About the project

Caliber is a tool that generates and continuously updates AI context and configuration files for software repositories, including CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and platform-specific rules. Development teams use it to keep coding agents aligned with the current codebase across tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, and GitHub Copilot. Its catalogue entries include skills, hooks, rules, instructions, and settings for configuring that workflow.

Security

Grade A, and why

PostToolUseFailure 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 6d ago.

A static scan of the commands this hook runs, not an audit. A hook is shell that executes on your machine at the event it names, which is why every command in it is printed with what was found.

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.

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.
