hook-audit

Analyze hook effectiveness + session retro from collected metrics. Use when user asks to audit hooks, invokes `/hook-audit`, wants to identify silent/over-aggressive/under-enforced hooks, or asks for a retro / team analytics across recent sessions.

# Hook audit ## Step 0: Gather context Run Bash commands before proceed: - `ls "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)/.claude/hooks/"*.sh 2>/dev/null | wc -l` -- installed hook scripts - `ls ~/.claude/hook-metrics/*.json 2>/dev/null | wc -l` -- session summaries collected - `ls ~/.claude/hook-metrics/*.json 2>/dev/null | head -1 | xargs -I{} jq -r '.date' {}` -- earliest date - `ls ~/.claude/hook-metrics/*.json 2>/dev/null | tail -1 | xargs -I{} jq -r '.date' {}` -- latest date Metrics dir: `~/.claude/hook-metrics/` ## Your task Analyze hook effectiveness across all session metrics. Read every JSON in `~/.claude/hook-metrics/`. Produce report: ### 1. Hook activity Each hook fired >=1 across sessions: - Total blocks, warns, denies - Avg fires per session - Trend: up or down over time? ### 2. Silent hooks List hook scripts in `.claude/hooks/` with **zero entries** in any metrics file. Prune candidates -- never trigger or not wired to logging. ### 3. Over-aggressive hooks High block counts hurt productivity: - Blocks-per-session ratio > 3 -> flag too strict - Same rule blocked repeat in one session -> agent retry and fail ### 4. Enforcement gaps Cross-ref CLAUDE.md rules vs hook activity: - Rules with hook but zero fires -> followed perfect or untested - Rules with no hook -> advisory, no enforce ### 5. Recommendations From data: - **Prune**: hooks never fire (remove or merge) - **Soften**: hooks block too much (demote to warn) - **Harden**: warns fire often (promote to block) - **Add**: CLAUDE.md rules with no hook enforce ### 6. Retro analytics (session flow) Broader than hook-level. Pull from session JSONL + git log same window as metrics. - **Sessions -> PR lag**: median time from first edit to PR open. High lag = planning thrash. - **CI first-try pass rate**: PRs green on first CI run / total PRs. Low = hooks missed pre-commit catches. - **Phases skipped in `/development-lifecycle`**: sessions wrote code without prior grill step (infer from session-touched-files + absence of grill markers). High skip = gate ineffective. - **Review-round distribution**: how often hit 0/1/2/3 AI self-review rounds? Bulk at 3 = reviewer too picky or code quality trending down. - **Human-review resolution latency**: time from human review comment -> resolved thread. High = bottleneck. - **Worktree sprawl**: count active worktrees per repo. >4 sustained -> investigate with `/mux --list` candidates for prune. Output per-metric: current value, 7-day trend (up/down/flat), actionable next step. ### Mode flags `$ARGUMENTS`: - empty / `--hooks` -> run sections 1-5 only (default). - `--retro` -> run sections 1-6 with emphasis on section 6. - `--all` -> all sections, no emphasis. ### Output format Structured report. Tables where data fit. End with prioritized action list (max 5). If <5 session files, note data limited, recs preliminary.
