#!/usr/bin/env node // msd-hook-version: {{MSD_VERSION}} // MSD Read Guard — PreToolUse hook // Injects advisory guidance when Write/Edit targets an existing file, // reminding the model to Read the file first. // // Background: Non-Claude models (e.g. MiniMax M2.5 on OpenCode) don't // natively follow the read-before-edit pattern. When they attempt to // Write/Edit an existing file without reading it, the runtime rejects // with "You must read file before overwriting it." The model retries // without reading, creating an infinite loop that burns through usage. // // This hook prevents that loop by injecting clear guidance BEFORE the // tool call reaches the runtime. The model sees the advisory and can // issue a Read call on the next turn. // // Triggers on: Write and Edit tool calls // Action: Advisory (does not block) — injects read-first guidance // Only fires when the target file already exists on disk. const fs = require('fs'); const path = require('path'); const { HOOK_ON_CRASH, allow, crash } = require('./lib/hook-exit.js'); // This guard is pure advisory UX — a reminder to Read before Write/Edit on // non-Claude-Code runtimes. A crash here must not block a legitimate Write/ // Edit; the worst outcome of failing open is the model hitting the runtime's // own read-before-edit rejection it was trying to help avoid (#3911). const ON_CRASH = HOOK_ON_CRASH.ALLOW; let input = ''; const stdinTimeout = setTimeout(() => allow(undefined), 3000); process.stdin.setEncoding('utf8'); process.stdin.on('data', chunk => input += chunk); process.stdin.on('end', () => { clearTimeout(stdinTimeout); try { const data = JSON.parse(input); const toolName = data.tool_name; // Only intercept Write and Edit tool calls if (toolName !== 'Write' && toolName !== 'Edit') { allow(undefined); } // Claude Code natively enforces read-before-edit — skip the advisory (#1984, #2344, #2520). // // Detection signals, in priority order: // 1. `data.session_id` on the hook's stdin payload — part of Claude // Code's documented PreToolUse hook-input schema, always present. // Reliable across Claude Code versions because it's schema, not env. // 2. `CLAUDE_CODE_ENTRYPOINT` / `CLAUDE_CODE_SSE_PORT` — env vars that // Claude Code does propagate to hook subprocesses (verified on // Claude Code CLI 2.1.116). // 3. `CLAUDE_SESSION_ID` / `CLAUDECODE` — kept for back-compat and in // case future Claude Code versions propagate them to hook // subprocesses.
