PostToolUseFailure

PostToolUseFailure is a hook for coding agents from slbug/claude-ruby-grape-rails. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

Automatic recovery checks that run when selected Bash commands fail. They include Ruby and Rails failure handling, output verification, and skill-discovery checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in Ruby on Rails projects to react to failed bundle, Rails, or Rake commands and run related diagnostics.
Why use it?
They provide project-specific follow-up when commands such as Rails, Bundler, or Rake fail instead of leaving the failure unexplained.

Hook

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 ruby-grape-rails plugin — 23 skills, 19 agents, 17 hooks shipped together

One of 17 entries in hooks.json — they are configured in one file and arrive together.

Install

Getting it into your agent

This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add slbug/claude-ruby-grape-rails
Claude Code
/plugin install ruby-grape-rails

Or install ruby-grape-rails, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 23 skills, 19 agents, 17 hooks.

Security

Grade A, and why

PostToolUseFailure 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 4d 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.
