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.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Block No-Verify Hook PreToolUse hook configuration that intercepts and blocks bypass-flag usage 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: ```bash # These commands skip pre-commit hooks entirely git commit --no-verify -m "quick fix" git push --no-verify git commit --no-gpg-sign -m "unsigned commit" git merge --no-verify feature-branch ``` 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 …

How to install
mdr add wshobson/agents/block-no-verify-hook@sha256:d8e59e994efd649bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.8b957cd, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
