zenml: Hook for Claude Code

.claude/settings.json

PreToolUse is a hook for Claude Code from zenml-io/zenml. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A pre-tool hook that watches Bash commands for Git commits. When it finds one, it runs the project’s format.sh script and blocks the commit if that script fails.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running formatting before commits in the ZenML project and stopping commits when formatting cannot complete successfully.
Why use it?
It adds an automatic formatting check at the point where code is committed.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR variable.

This is zenml-io/zenml's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on zenml 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 zenml 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

ZenML is a Python framework for turning machine-learning and AI workflows into tracked pipelines that run on different infrastructure backends. It is for ML and AI engineers building applications such as model-training workflows, language-model systems, and agent loops in company environments.

Security

Grade A, and why

PreToolUse 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 14d 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.
