# signet

Signs every Claude Code tool call with an Ed25519 key and records actions to a hash-chained audit log. It creates verifiable proof of tool execution.

## What it does

The plugin uses a `PostToolUse` hook that intercepts execution after each tool call, capturing the tool name and standard input. It signs the action via an embedded WebAssembly module without native system dependencies, appending each receipt to a daily hash-chained log.

Audit files land in `~/.signet/audit/` as daily JSONL entries. The agent key is generated on the first tool call and stored at `~/.signet/keys/claude-agent.key` with 0600 file permissions, but the key file remains unencrypted on disk.

Log records can be inspected directly with `jq` or verified for chain integrity using the external `signet audit --verify` CLI command.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install signet@claude-community
```

## When to use it
- sign every agent tool call with Ed25519 signatures
- maintain a tamper-evident audit trail using hash chains
- verify agent action history with the signet CLI
- record tool inputs and names without native runtime dependencies

## Example prompts
- Read the contents of `config.json` and show settings
- Run the project test suite using bash
- Create a database migration script

# Signet Claude Code Plugin

Cryptographic signing for every tool call in Claude Code. Ed25519 receipts + hash-chained audit log.

## Install

```bash
# Option A: From the official Anthropic plugin marketplace
/plugin install signet@claude-plugins-official

# Option B: Add Signet as a marketplace source, then install
/plugin marketplace add Prismer-AI/signet
/plugin install signet@signet
```

Alternative install methods:

```bash
# From Git
claude plugin add --from https://github.com/Prismer-AI/signet

# Clone and install locally
git clone https://github.com/Prismer-AI/signet.git
claude plugin add ./signet/plugins/claude-code
```

## What It Does

Every tool call Claude Code makes is automatically:

1. **Signed** with an Ed25519 key (auto-generated on first use)
2. **Logged** to a hash-chained audit trail at `~/.signet/audit/`

No configuration needed. Signing starts immediately after installation.

## Audit

View raw logs:

```bash
cat ~/.signet/audit/$(date +%Y-%m-%d).jsonl | jq '.receipt.action.tool'
```

With [signet CLI](https://github.com/Prismer-AI/signet) (optional):

```bash
signet audit --since 1h
signet audit --verify   # verify hash chain integrity
```

## Key Management

- Keys stored at `~/.signet/keys/claude-agent.key` (unencrypted, 0600 permissions)
- Auto-generated on first tool call
- Shared with signet CLI if installed

## How It Works

A PostToolUse hook runs after every tool call, reading the tool name and
input from stdin. The hook signs the action with the agent's Ed25519 key
using an embedded WASM module (no Rust or native dependencies needed),
then appends the signed receipt to the daily audit log.
