dbatools: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/hooks-doctor/SKILL.md

hooks-doctor is a skill for Claude Code from dataplat/dbatools. It costs 45 tokens per session (405 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A diagnostic guide for the automated checks, or hooks, used by this repository during coding sessions. It explains how to inspect installed tools, understand missing protections, and troubleshoot hook errors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when repository hooks do nothing, report errors, or unexpectedly block changes.
Why use it?
It shows why a check may be absent or failing and gives the appropriate way to restore it without confusing a missing tool with a code problem.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR variable. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

This is dataplat/dbatools's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on dbatools 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 dbatools configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash .claude/hooks/hooks-doctor.sh.

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

hooks-doctor 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 2mo 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

Hooks Doctor

Run the diagnostic and interpret it for the user:

bash .claude/hooks/hooks-doctor.sh

Present the results conversationally:

  1. All OK — say the hook environment is fully functional and list the active gates (style validation, read-before-edit, destructive-command guard, registration/TODO/verify Stop gates, codex auto-review).
  2. Something MISSING — explain what that specific absence disables (the script prints it) and give the one-line install fix. Every hook fails open, so a missing tool never breaks the session — it just silently removes that protection.
  3. Hook errors in the transcript — if the user reports hook error messages, check:
    • Hook paths in .claude/settings.json must use "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR" (hooks run in the session cwd, not the repo root — relative paths break)
    • Line endings: hook scripts must be LF (enforced via .gitattributes); CRLF causes bad interpreter on Linux
    • claude --debug hooks records each hook's exit code and stderr
  4. User wants to opt out — per-developer opt-outs, in increasing scope:
    • CLAUDE_CODEX_REVIEW=off / CLAUDE_STOP_VERIFY=off (env, per session)
    • STOP_GUARD_MAX_BLOCKS=1 to shrink blocking budgets
    • .claude/settings.local.json with {"disableAllHooks": true} (gitignored, personal)

Never suggest editing the checked-in .claude/settings.json to opt out — that changes the gates for every developer.

Changes

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.
