UserPromptExpansion

UserPromptExpansion is a hook for coding agents from markshust/hcf. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A prompt-expansion hook that runs a shell script before the agent receives prompts for plan creation or plan orchestration. The script is called gate-command.sh.

In plain words
What is it for?
Applying the configured gate command before plan-create and plan-orchestrate tool calls.
Why use it?
It adds an automatic checkpoint before planning prompts are sent to the agent.

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.

Part of the hcf plugin — 4 skills, 3 agents, 3 hooks shipped together

One of 3 entries in hooks.json — they are configured in one file and arrive together.

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 markshust/hcf
Claude Code
/plugin install hcf

Or install hcf, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 4 skills, 3 agents, 3 hooks.

Security

Grade A, and why

UserPromptExpansion 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.

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.
