kitchen-sink: Hook for Claude Code

.claude/settings.json

PostToolUseFailure is a hook for Claude Code from oalders/kitchen-sink. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, a copy of Notification, MIT.

A hook that runs a shell command after another tool call fails. A hook is an automatic action tied to an event.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run the shown optional clodhopper ingestion command after failed tool calls in the kitchen-sink setup.
Why use it?
It provides a place to run a follow-up check when a tool reports an error, while ignoring failures from that check.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is oalders/kitchen-sink's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on kitchen-sink 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 kitchen-sink configures →

Security

Grade A, and why

PostToolUseFailure 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 8d 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

94% identical to Notification — 2 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.
