• Hook count: jq '[.. | objects | select(has("command"))] | length' .codex/hooks.json

4. Hook Scripts

• All .codex/hooks/*.sh files exist and are executable:

  for h in .codex/hooks/*.sh; do test -x "$h" || echo "NOT_EXEC: $h"; done
  

5. Subagents

• All .codex/agents/*.toml files exist
• Each has name, description, developer_instructions fields:

8. Secrets Scan

git ls-files | xargs grep -l 'BEGIN.*PRIVATE KEY\|password\s*=\s*[^{][^"\x27]\{8,\}' 2>/dev/null | head -10

Report any matches as ⚠️ warnings.

9. MCP Tool Reachability

Check that the required runtimes are available (all MCP tools run via uvx or npx):

command -v uvx &>/dev/null && echo "uvx: ✅" || echo "uvx: ❌ missing — install via: pip install uv"
command -v npx &>/dev/null && echo "npx: ✅" || echo "npx: ⚠️ missing — install Node.js (for playwright)"
command -v ccc &>/dev/null && echo "cocoindex CLI (ccc): ✅" || echo "cocoindex CLI (ccc): ⚠️ optional — install via: pip install cocoindex"
# uvx-based: codebase-memory-mcp, code-review-graph, serena, cocoindex-code-mcp-server (available when uvx installed)
