crit: Hook for Claude Code

.claude/settings.json

PostCompact is a hook for Claude Code from tomasz-tomczyk/crit. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A command hook that runs after the agent's conversation context is shortened and displays a fixed list of coding reminders. Context compaction is the process of reducing earlier conversation details to make room for new work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to remind the agent to verify mapped fields, check fetch responses, reset navigation state, prevent duplicate asynchronous operations, and define CSS variables in all four theme blocks.
Why use it?
It brings back checks that may be easy to forget after context is shortened, including response handling, navigation state, duplicate prevention, and CSS variables.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is tomasz-tomczyk/crit's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on crit 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 crit configures →

One of 2 entries in settings.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 1 are separate, each on its own page.

About the project

Crit is a local review tool for examining agent-generated plans, code changes, web applications, and static HTML. Developers use it to point to specific problems and send feedback back to their coding agent, with a different review interface for each type of output.

Security

Grade A, and why

PostCompact 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.

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.
