hook-hygiene

hook-hygiene is a skill for Codex from anotherben/claude-harness. It costs 70 tokens per session (668 once invoked), scanned B, original, no licence file.

A set of rules for reviewing and managing Codex hooks. Hooks are automatic actions that run around an agent's tool use and can add checks or context.

In plain words
What is it for?

Why use it?
It helps identify unwanted context, hidden state, stale disabled entries, and other hook behavior that can make agent work harder to predict.

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 B, and why

hook-hygiene scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

2. Inspect stale hook state entries in `~/.codex/config.toml` only when hook enablement or disablement behaves unexpectedly.

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.
