auto-stage

A Claude Code hook that automatically stages files after Claude edits or creates them in a Git repository. Git staging is the step that selects changes for the next commit.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working with Claude Code in Git projects and you want changed files staged automatically while ignored files and files outside repositories are left alone.
Why use it?
It removes the repeated need to run git add after every change. Your Git status shows the files Claude touched, ready for review before committing.

Grade A, and why

auto-stage 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 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.

What it actually says

{
  "name": "auto-stage",
  "description": "Automatic git staging for Claude Code. A PostToolUse hook on Edit|Write runs `git add` on every file Claude modifies, so `git status` always shows exactly what Claude touched and pre-commit review needs no manual staging. Files outside a git repo are skipped, .gitignore is respected (ignored files fail to stage and the failure is logged, never forced), and the git call is shell-free so hostile filenames cannot inject commands.",

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.
