Claude-Mind: Hook for Claude Code

.claude/settings.json

PreToolUse is a hook for Claude Code from zkysar1/Claude-Mind. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of checks that runs before the agent uses tools such as reading files, running Bash commands, or editing code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to enforce project rules and run checks before file access, shell commands, skills, scheduling, or code edits.
Why use it?
It can catch missing context, unsafe tool use, path problems, and other issues before an action starts.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR variable.

This is zkysar1/Claude-Mind's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Claude-Mind 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 Claude-Mind configures →

One of 9 entries in settings.json — they are configured in one file and arrive together.

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 2d 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.

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.
