UserPromptSubmit

A prompt-submission hook that runs a short shell command before the coding agent receives your prompt. It records recent activity and clears pending notification files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you need an automatic pre-prompt check that updates activity time and removes old pending notifications.
Why use it?
It keeps prompt-activity and pending-notification markers current without requiring a separate manual command.

Hook for Claude Code

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 B, and why

UserPromptSubmit scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

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.

UserPromptSubmit is a hook published in the GitHub repository loopdive/js2 (59 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. Its token cost is not measured: a hook is shell that never enters the context. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
