cache-safe-stop-hook-snapshotting

cache-safe-stop-hook-snapshotting is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ychampion/cskill-agents. It costs 33 tokens per session (420 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A stop-hook method that saves a stable context snapshot for the main coding-agent session so later helpers can continue its work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when end-of-turn helpers need to resume work, while limiting snapshot writes to the authoritative interactive or SDK session.
Why use it?
It prevents background or forked agents with incomplete context from overwriting the main session’s saved state.

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

cache-safe-stop-hook-snapshotting 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 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.

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

SKILL: Cache-Safe Stop-Hook Snapshotting

Domain: context-management
Trigger: Apply when end-of-turn hooks need to persist enough state for follow-up helpers, but background forks must not overwrite the main session snapshot. Source Pattern: Distilled from reviewed context, compaction, and memory-governance patterns.

Core Method

Build one structured hook context at turn end, then persist a cache-safe snapshot only when the query source belongs to the main interactive session or the SDK control path. This gives downstream helpers a stable resume surface while preventing side agents and background forks from clobbering shared state with their own narrower contexts. The snapshot gate lives outside optional prompt-suggestion features so every consumer that depends on the shared state still gets it.

Key Rules

  • Create the snapshot from the full stop-hook context, not ad hoc fragments, so later consumers see the same system, user, and tool state.
  • Gate snapshot persistence to the authoritative query sources such as repl_main_thread and sdk.
  • Keep forked or background agents out of the shared snapshot path; their contexts are partial and will pollute resume behavior.
  • Decouple snapshotting from optional background features so state persistence remains available even when prompt suggestions are off.

Example Application

If a REPL turn finishes and /btw or another side-question helper may run next, save a cache-safe snapshot from the main turn’s hook context. If a background memory extractor reaches the same stop-hook code, skip the snapshot so the main session state remains authoritative.

Anti-Patterns (What NOT to do)

  • Do not let every subagent write to the same cache-safe snapshot location; later helpers will resume from polluted or incomplete context.
  • Do not tie snapshot persistence to an unrelated feature flag when multiple consumers depend on it.

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.
