claude-code-hooks: Hook for Claude Code

.claude/settings.json

UserPromptExpansion is a hook for Claude Code from shanraisshan/claude-code-hooks. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, a copy of PreToolUse, MIT.

A hook configuration that runs a Python script to expand a user's prompt before the coding agent processes it. Hooks are automatic actions triggered at a defined point in the agent workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure automatic prompt expansion through the project's hook system.
Why use it?
It adds prompt context automatically, so users do not have to repeat the same expansion step by hand.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR} variable.

This is shanraisshan/claude-code-hooks's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claude-code-hooks 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 claude-code-hooks configures →

One of 31 entries in settings.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 30 are separate, each on its own page.

Security

Grade A, and why

UserPromptExpansion 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 9d 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

80% identical to PreToolUse — 4 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.
