agent-md: Hook for Claude Code

.claude/settings.json

PreToolUse is a hook for Claude Code from iamfakeguru/agent-md. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A safety hook that runs before Bash commands and checks them with a script designed to block destructive actions. Bash is a command-line shell used to run system and project commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in agent workflows to inspect Bash commands before execution and prevent commands classified as destructive.
Why use it?
It adds a safety check before commands that could damage files or other project data are executed.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR variable.

This is iamfakeguru/agent-md's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agent-md 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 agent-md configures →

One of 4 entries in settings.json — they are configured in one file and arrive together.

Grade A, and why

PreToolUse 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.

This page is one entry in a file that holds 4. Installing the file brings all of them; each is measured and scanned on its own page.

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.
