PreToolUse

PreToolUse is a hook for coding agents from joey-barbier/ClaudeCode-Plugin. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, a copy of SessionStart, MIT.

A pre-tool hook that runs a git-safety script before Bash commands are executed. Git is a version-control system used to track code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in a Claude Code plugin configuration to run git-safety.sh before Bash tool calls.
Why use it?
It adds an automatic safety check before shell commands that may affect a Git repository. The provided configuration does not explain what specific checks the script performs.

Hook

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.

Install

Getting it into your agent

This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add joey-barbier/ClaudeCode-Plugin
Claude Code
/plugin install horka-dev-workflow

Or install horka-dev-workflow, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 2 skills, 1 agent, 1 hook.

Security

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 4d 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

67% identical to SessionStart — 8 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.
