Elicitation

Elicitation is a hook for Claude Code from stempeck/agentfactory. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A hook that runs a shell check when the coding agent asks you a question.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running a command or validation whenever the agent asks for input.
Why use it?
It can perform a check at that point in the conversation, though the available description does not say what the check does.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

One of 10 entries in settings.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 9 are separate, each on its own page.

Good fit Running a command or validation whenever the agent asks for input.

Getting it into your agent

Security

Grade A, and why

Elicitation 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 11d 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.

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.
