New tool in the family. The fleet lints permissions (perm-audit), .mcp.json (mcp-audit), CLAUDE.md (context-lint) and skills (skill-lint) — but nothing checked hooks, which run shell on your agent's tool events and fail SILENTLY when misconfigured (a typo'd event name never fires; an empty command never runs). hooklint reads settings.json and flags: unknown/typo'd event names, hook entries missing type:command or an empty command, a matcher on an event that ignores it, invalid matcher regex, and (heuristic, labelled) relative command paths + risky command patterns. Exit 0 clean / 1 findings / 2 bad input; --json for CI. Honest by construction — checks structure + known pitfalls, not whether a hook's logic is correct. - single-file python3, no deps; test_hooklint.sh 18/18 green (self-locating, one case per check + clean/missing/invalid/stdin/wrong-type robustness). - house-style README with the deemwar.com/contact CTA. MIT.

Extend:
hooklint— lint Claude Codesettings.jsonhooks#ossengine cycle 11 —
extend the family, additive (new tool dir), no owner gate. Independent of the open PRs.Why
The fleet lints permissions (
perm-audit),.mcp.json(mcp-audit),CLAUDE.md(context-lint), and skills (skill-lint) — but nothing checked hooks, the one config that runs shell on your agent's tool events. A misconfigured hook fails silently: a typo'd event name (PreTooluse) never fires; an emptycommandnever runs.hooklintcatches those before they bite.What it does
