StopFailure

An automatic command that runs when a coding session ends because of a failure. The supplied command is asynchronous and sends telemetry, meaning diagnostic information about the event.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to trigger failure reporting and telemetry whenever the StopFailure event occurs. It supports both shell and PowerShell environments.
Why use it?
It records failed stops without making the developer run a separate reporting command. The failure status is passed back after the reporting command finishes.

Hook

Part of the skills plugin — 28 skills, 7 commands, 5 agents, 5 hooks shipped together

One of 5 entries in hooks.json — they are configured in one file and arrive together.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 3d 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

91% identical to SessionStart — 13 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 else hooks.json configures

This page is one entry in a file that holds 5. Installing the file brings all of them; each is measured and scanned on its own page.

Changes

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.
