## What it does

The skill reads configuration through the Agent Monitor Config Explorer. It fetches hooks from `/api/cc-config/hooks` and script listings from `/api/cc-config/hook-scripts`, then groups hooks by user, project, and project-local scope. You can narrow the report to an event or focus on handler scripts.

It compares configured commands with files on disk, identifying missing and unreferenced scripts. The report also flags network egress, arbitrary execution, missing timeouts, and broad matchers on destructive commands. Raw commands remain visible. Agent Monitor must be running at `http://localhost:4820`; if the dashboard cannot be reached, the skill tells you to run `npm start` from the repository root. Settings are read-only in Config Explorer, so edits belong in the source file listed in the report.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor --skill hook-inventory -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/hook-inventory/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/hook-inventory/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor --skill hook-inventory -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/hook-inventory/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor --skill hook-inventory -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/hook-inventory/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor hook-inventory
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/hook-inventory/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor --skill hook-inventory -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor --path plugins/ccam-config/skills/hook-inventory
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/hook-inventory/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor --skill hook-inventory -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor/tree/HEAD/plugins/ccam-config/skills/hook-inventory/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- inventory hooks across user and project settings
- find hook scripts missing from disk
- identify scripts no configured hook calls
- flag network activity and commands without timeouts

## Example prompts
- Inventory all hooks and assess their safety.
- Review hooks for the `PreToolUse` event.
- Check `~/.claude/hooks` for scripts that no hook calls.

  Inventory hooks across the user, project, and project-local settings plus the
  ~/.claude/hooks scripts directory — read through the Agent Monitor Config
  Explorer API — and flag hooks that POST to the network or run arbitrary
  commands. Reads /api/cc-config/hooks and /api/cc-config/hook-scripts. Use
  when auditing hook safety.

# Hook Inventory

Catalogue every Claude Code hook the user has configured and assess its safety —
read through the Agent Monitor dashboard at `http://localhost:4820`.

## Input

The user provides: **$ARGUMENTS**

This may be:
- empty — inventory all hooks across every scope (default).
- an event name (`PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse`, `Stop`, `SubagentStop`,
  `SessionStart`, `SessionEnd`, `UserPromptSubmit`, `Notification`,
  `PreCompact`) — restrict to that event.
- "scripts" — focus on the `~/.claude/hooks` handler scripts dir.

## Data Sources

| Endpoint | Returns |
|----------|---------|
| `GET /api/cc-config/hooks` | `{ items:[{ scope:"user"\|"project"\|"project-local", file, exists, hooks:{ <Event>:[{ matcher, type, command, timeout }] } }] }` |
| `GET /api/cc-config/hook-scripts` | `{ dir, items:[{ name, file, size, mtime }] }` — the handler scripts under `~/.claude/hooks/` |

## Report Sections

### 1. Configured hooks by scope
From `/hooks`, flatten each source into `(scope, file, Event, matcher, type,
command, timeout)`. Group by `scope` (user, project, project-local). Show the
event, matcher, hook `type`, and the raw `command`. Note which `file` each came
from so the user can edit the right one.

### 2. Hook scripts on disk
From `/hook-scripts`, list each file in `~/.claude/hooks/` with `name`, `size`
(KB), and `mtime`. Cross-reference: flag scripts referenced by a hook `command`
but missing from disk, and scripts on disk that no configured hook calls
(orphaned).

### 3. Safety flags
For every `type: "command"` entry escalate:
- **Network egress (P0)** — the command contains `curl`, `wget`, `http`,
  `https`, `nc`, or pipes output off-box. Print the destination if visible.
- **Arbitrary execution (P1)** — pipes to `sh`/`bash`, evaluates downloaded
  content, or runs an unpinned interpreter on attacker-influenceable input.
- **No timeout (P2)** — a `command` hook with `timeout: null`; it can hang a
  session indefinitely.
- **Broad matcher (P3)** — `matcher: "*"` or empty on a destructive command.

## Output

- Section 1 as a table (`Scope | Event | Matcher | Type | Command | Timeout`).
- Section 3 as a findings table (`Hook | Risk | Severity | Detail`) with a
  one-line verdict first (SAFE / REVIEW NEEDED / RISKY HOOKS).
- Print raw commands verbatim — do not paraphrase a command you are flagging.
- Cite only fields the API returned — never fabricate hooks or commands.
- Note: hooks live inside settings.json and are read-only via the Config
```
