#!/usr/bin/env node // gsd-hook-version: {{GSD_VERSION}} // GSD 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'); let input = ''; const stdinTimeout = setTimeout(() => process.exit(0), 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') { process.exit(0); } // Claude Code natively enforces read-before-edit — skip the advisory (#1984, #2344) if (process.env.CLAUDE_SESSION_ID || process.env.CLAUDECODE) { process.exit(0); } const filePath = data.tool_input?.file_path || ''; if (!filePath) { process.exit(0); } // Only inject guidance when the file already exists. // New files don't need a prior Read — the runtime allows creating them directly. let fileExists = false; try { fs.accessSync(filePath, fs.constants.F_OK); fileExists = true; } catch { // File does not exist — no guidance needed } if (!fileExists) { process.exit(0); } const fileName = path.basename(filePath); // Advisory guidance — does not block the operation const output = { hookSpecificOutput: { hookEventName: 'PreToolUse', additionalContext: `READ-BEFORE-EDIT REMINDER: You are about to modify "${fileName}" which already exists. ` + 'If you have not already used the Read tool to read this file in the current session, ' + 'you MUST Read it first before editing.
