PostToolUse

PostToolUse is a hook for Claude Code from cstelmach/terminal-agent-visual-signals. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, a copy of UserPromptSubmit, MIT.

A post-tool hook that runs a shell script after another tool call finishes. A hook is an automatic action connected to an event in an agent workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to trigger the referenced processing script after tool calls, such as for terminal-agent visual signals.
Why use it?
It lets the agent perform a defined follow-up action after tool use without requiring a separate manual step. The input shows it runs asynchronously with a five-second limit.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Part of the tavs plugin — 1 skill, 12 hooks shipped together

One of 12 entries in hooks.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 11 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 9d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to UserPromptSubmit — 5 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

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.
