claude-base: Hook for Claude Code

.claude/settings.json

PostToolUse is a hook for Claude Code from christopherlouet/claude-base. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of automatic actions that run after coding-agent tools finish. They check project documentation consistency, look for hollow tests or implementation stubs, and format JavaScript or TypeScript files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run post-edit integrity and substance checks and automatically format edited JavaScript or TypeScript files.
Why use it?
It catches quality issues immediately after changes are made instead of leaving them until review. Automatic formatting also keeps supported source files consistent.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR variable. Also seen: names the NotebookEdit tool; mentions Claude Code.

This is christopherlouet/claude-base's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claude-base 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 claude-base configures →

One of 18 entries in settings.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 17 are separate, each on its own page.

Security

Grade A, and why

PostToolUse 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 1mo 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.

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.
