hookstack: Hook for Claude Code

.claude/settings.json

StopFailure is a hook for Claude Code from steve-magne/hookstack. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, a copy of SessionStart, MIT.

A stop-failure hook that runs Node.js scripts when a tool call stops because of a rate limit, meaning the service has temporarily restricted requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
It runs one script for rate-limit alerts and another for logging API errors after failures.
Why use it?
It records API errors and alerts you when rate limits interrupt tool use.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR variable.

This is steve-magne/hookstack's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on hookstack 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 hookstack configures →

One of 26 entries in settings.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 25 are separate, each on its own page.

Security

Grade A, and why

StopFailure 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.

Origin

This is a copy

45% identical to SessionStart — 16 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.
