PostToolUse

PostToolUse is a hook for Claude Code from Q00/ouroboros. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, a copy of UserPromptSubmit, MIT.

An automated action that runs after an agent writes or edits a file. It starts a Python script called drift-monitor.py.

In plain words
What is it for?
Monitoring possible drift after Write and Edit tool calls in the Q00/ouroboros project.
Why use it?
It checks for problems after file changes without stopping the workflow when the script, Python, or the check itself is unavailable.

Hook for Claude Code

Part of the ouroboros plugin — 22 skills, 21 agents, 3 hooks, 1 MCP server shipped together

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

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.

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 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

86% identical to UserPromptSubmit — 7 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 else settings.json configures

This page is one entry in a file that holds 3. Installing the file brings all of them; each is measured and scanned on its own page.

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.
