UserPromptExpansion

UserPromptExpansion is a hook for Claude Code from skarn-security/agent-guard. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, a copy of UserPromptSubmit, MIT.

A hook that runs a security-audit command when a user prompt is expanded before the coding agent sees it. A hook is an automatic action tied to a particular event.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run skarn guard in audit mode during prompt expansion. The input does not describe any other job or behavior.
Why use it?
It adds a security check at the point where the prompt is being prepared, helping surface audit results before the agent handles the expanded prompt.

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 7d 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

94% identical to UserPromptSubmit — 2 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.
