PreToolUse

PreToolUse is a hook for Claude Code from rube-de/cc-skills. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, a copy of SessionStart, MIT.

Pre-tool hooks that run shell checks before the agent creates, messages, or deletes a team of agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking agent-team commands and tracking team state for TeamCreate, SendMessage, and TeamDelete calls.
Why use it?
They check team operations and record team creation or deletion automatically before those actions occur.

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 cdt plugin — 1 skill, 5 commands, 1 agent, 4 hooks shipped together

One of 4 entries in hooks.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 3 are separate, each on its own page.

Good fit Checking agent-team commands and tracking team state for TeamCreate, SendMessage, and TeamDelete calls.

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 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

56% identical to SessionStart — 34 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.
