Configure a PreToolUse hook to prevent AI agents from skipping git pre-commit hooks with --no-verify and other bypass flags. Use when setting up Claude Code projects that enforce commit quality gates.

## From README

Block No-Verify Hook PreToolUse hook configuration that intercepts and blocks bypass-flag before execution, ensuring AI agents cannot skip pre-commit hooks, GPG signing, or other git safety mechanisms. Overview AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) can run shell commands with flags like --no-verify that bypass pre-commit hooks. This defeats the purpose of linting, formatting, testing, and security checks configured in pre-commit hooks. The block-no-verify hook adds a PreToolUse guard that rejects any tool call containing bypass flags before execution. Problem When AI agents commit code, they may use bypass flags to avoid hook failures: This allows: Unformatted code to enter the repository Linting errors to bypass checks Security scanning to be skipped Unsigned commits to bypass signing policies Test suites to be circumvented Solution Add a PreToolUse hook to .claude/settings.json that inspects every Bash tool call and blocks commands containing bypass flags.
