CAS Safety Hooks

Verify the current CAS hook contract. The plugin owns its hooks through ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}; no version-pinned manual installation is required.

Intended behavior

Guard	Tool matcher	Decision
Secret and environment protection	`Read	Edit
Sensitive command approval	Bash	Ask for every rm, git commit, git commit-tree, or git push, including common wrappers and nested shell commands
GPT Architect backend guard	Agent	While GPT Architect is ON, deny native Claude teammates and direct delegation to Codex instead

Ordinary builds, tests, formatters, package managers, file edits, and non-sensitive shell commands must remain automatic. The broad legacy dangerous-commands.js and push-guard.js hooks are retired and no longer ship.

Procedure

1. Verify the plugin

Read ~/.claude/settings.json and confirm enabledPlugins["cas@claude-agent-system"] is true.

If it is not enabled, stop and tell the user to run:

/plugin marketplace add Kasempiternal/Claude-Agent-System
/plugin install cas

2. Verify automatic hook registration

Locate the active CAS plugin root, read hooks/hooks.json, and verify these commands are registered exactly once:

• protect-secrets.js
• sensitive-command-approval.cjs
• gpt-architect-mode-guard.cjs
• gpt-architect-standing-orders.cjs

Also verify orchestrate-resume.js remains the sole CAS SessionStart hook and gpt-architect-standing-orders.cjs the sole CAS UserPromptSubmit hook.

Do not add a second user-level copy of an automatic plugin hook.

3. Find obsolete manual entries

Inspect only hooks.PreToolUse entries in ~/.claude/settings.json. Mark an entry as obsolete when its command contains any of:

• plugins/cache/claude-agent-system/cas/
• push-guard.js
• dangerous-commands.js
• protect-secrets.js
• claude-sensitive-command-approval.cjs
• sensitive-command-approval.cjs
• gpt-architect-native-agent-guard.cjs
• gpt-architect-mode-guard.cjs
• gpt-architect-standing-orders.cjs

These entries duplicate the current plugin-owned hooks or point at a cache version that will disappear on update.

Before changing settings, show the exact CAS entries you intend to remove and ask for confirmation. Remove only those confirmed entries. Preserve every non-CAS hook and every unrelated setting byte-for-byte where practical.

4. Run focused probes

Feed representative PreToolUse JSON directly to the installed hook scripts and verify:

• swift test --disable-sandbox produces no approval decision.
• npm test produces no approval decision.
• rm build.tmp returns permissionDecision: "ask".
• git commit -m "test" returns permissionDecision: "ask".
• git push origin main returns permissionDecision: "ask".
• reading .env returns permissionDecision: "ask" from secret protection.

The probes must not execute the commands; they only pass JSON into the hook scripts.

5. Report

Use this compact format:

CAS Safety Hooks
────────────────
✓ Secrets and environment: protected
✓ rm / git commit / git push: approval required
✓ Builds, tests, and ordinary commands: automatic
✓ GPT Architect native-agent guard: registered
Legacy duplicates: none | removed N
Logs: ~/.claude/hooks-logs/

If a check fails, name the exact missing or duplicate hook and the safest repair. Do not claim protection that was not verified.

Hard rules

• Never install version-pinned cache paths.
• Never enable the broad legacy command hooks.
• Never remove non-CAS hooks.
• Never run a probe command; send it only as hook input.
• Never weaken approval for rm, git commit, or git push.
