Synapse: Hook for Claude Code

.claude/settings.json

PostToolUse is a hook for Claude Code from JosephOIbrahim/Synapse. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

After-tool hooks that run checks following editing or shell actions. They invoke a Python check script and the SYNAPSE hook bridge after matching tool calls.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to run Python validation after edits and notify SYNAPSE after Bash, Write, or Edit operations. The configured commands have ten- and thirty-second timeouts.
Why use it?
They provide automatic follow-up checks after files are changed or commands run. The input does not specify the exact checks beyond the script names.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: PostToolUse hook event.

This is JosephOIbrahim/Synapse's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Synapse 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 Synapse configures →

One of 9 entries in settings.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 8 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 2mo 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.

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.
