claude-hooks CLAUDE.md

claude-hooks CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from johnlindquist/claude-hooks. It costs 1,258 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for claude-hooks, a TypeScript command-line tool that creates hook systems for Claude Code. They document development commands, tests, cleanup, architecture, and restrictions on Git usage.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing claude-hooks, including building, linting, formatting, running unit or integration tests, cleaning generated files, and understanding its command structure.
Why use it?
They give contributors the project-specific commands and boundaries needed to build, test, and maintain the tool correctly.

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.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

claude-hooks CLAUDE.md 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 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 136 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

DO NOT install or use the git cli with the environment_run_cmd tool. All environment tools will handle git operations for you. Changing ".git" yourself will compromise the integrity of your environment.

You MUST inform the user how to view your work using container-use log <env_id> AND container-use checkout <env_id>. Failure to do this will make your work inaccessible to others.

Architecture

This is an oclif-based CLI tool written in TypeScript that generates a hook system for Claude Code.

Key Components

  1. Command Structure: Commands live in src/commands/. Currently, there's only the main init command that sets up the hook system.

  2. Template System: Hook templates are stored in templates/ and copied to the user's .claude/ directory when initialized.

  3. Hook Types: The system supports four hook types:

    • PreToolUse - Intercept tool usage before execution
    • PostToolUse - React to tool execution results
    • Notification - Handle Claude notifications
    • Stop - Handle session stop events
  4. Generated Structure: Running the CLI creates:

    .claude/
    ├── settings.json      # Hook configuration
    └── hooks/
        ├── index.ts       # Main hook handlers (user edits this)
        ├── lib.ts         # Type definitions and utilities
        └── session.ts     # Session tracking utilities

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.
