UserPromptSubmit

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

A prompt-submission hook that runs a Python keyword detector before an agent sees the prompt.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps trigger or support prompt-based detection in Ouroboros sessions by locating and running the configured detector script.
Why use it?
It can identify keywords early while allowing the session to continue if the script or Python is unavailable or the check fails.

Hook for Claude Code

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 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.

About the project

Q00/ouroboros is an Agent OS for running coding agents through interviews, staged evaluation, and repeated improvement cycles. It helps developers turn vague requests into tested code across multiple agent runtimes. Its catalogue add-ons provide workflows, agents, hooks, instructions, and integrations for operating those processes.

Security

Grade A, and why

UserPromptSubmit 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 5d 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.
