PreToolUse

PreToolUse is a hook for coding agents from mgd34msu/goodvibes-plugin. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, a copy of SessionStart, MIT.

A pre-tool hook that runs a Node.js commit-guard script before a Bash tool call.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it whenever Bash tools are invoked and the project's commit-guard checks should run first.
Why use it?
It lets the plugin inspect or control shell commands before they run.

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 goodvibes plugin — 6 skills, 5 commands, 4 agents, 9 hooks, 3 MCP servers shipped together

One of 9 entries in hooks.json — they are configured in one file and arrive together.

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 mgd34msu/goodvibes-plugin
Claude Code
/plugin install goodvibes

Or install goodvibes, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 6 skills, 5 commands, 4 agents, 9 hooks, 3 MCP servers.

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

59% identical to SessionStart — 9 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.
