PostToolUse

PostToolUse is a hook for Claude Code from robinslange/learning-loop. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of automatic actions that run after certain coding-agent tools finish, such as writing, editing, reading, or running a task. The listed actions run JavaScript files that record learning, retrieved reading, or search activity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to trigger post-action processing after writes, edits, tasks, skills, reads, and selected episodic-memory searches.
Why use it?
It adds follow-up processing after selected agent actions without requiring the agent to start each action manually. The input does not explain what those scripts ultimately change or report.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable.

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 learning-loop plugin — 24 skills, 20 agents, 7 hooks shipped together

One of 7 entries in hooks.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 6 are separate, each on its own page.

Good fit Use it to trigger post-action processing after writes, edits, tasks, skills, reads, and selected episodic-memory searches.

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 1mo 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.

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.
