second-brain: Hook for Claude Code

.claude/settings.json

PostToolUse is a hook for Claude Code from slowww-ai/second-brain. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A post-action hook configuration that runs a reindexing script after files in a wiki's notes folder are written or edited. Reindexing updates the wiki's searchable index.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in a second-brain wiki to trigger reindex.py after note edits, using the project's virtual-environment Python when available and falling back to python3.
Why use it?
It keeps the index current after note changes, so newly added or edited notes can be found without a separate manual reindex step.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR variable.

This is slowww-ai/second-brain's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on second-brain 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 second-brain configures →

One of 3 entries in settings.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 2 are separate, each on its own page.

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.

This page is one entry in a file that holds 3. Installing the file brings all of them; each is measured and scanned on its own page.

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.
