UserPromptSubmit

A hook that runs a command whenever you submit a prompt, before the coding agent receives it. The configured command uses Rekal, a separate tool referenced by the hook.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you need to run Rekal's user-prompt-submit action for each submitted prompt. The input does not explain what Rekal does to the prompt.
Why use it?
It lets prompt submissions trigger a consistent preprocessing step before the agent works on them.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Grade A, and why

UserPromptSubmit 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 yesterday.

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.
