#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ByteAsk Context hook for Claude Code (https://byteask.ai/context/setup). Version 1.3.0. What it does, as Claude Code hooks (registered in ~/.claude/settings.json by `install`): UserPromptSubmit In a git repository with code files (C, C++ or another language ByteAsk indexes: Python, TypeScript, Go, Java, Rust ...), when you submit a task (40 characters or more, not a slash command), it asks ByteAsk Context's find_code_for_task where the change most likely belongs (your request as you wrote it, and the repository's name: its remote as host/path, or, for a repository without one, local/), and adds the answer's ranked places and short code to Claude's context for that turn. Claude starts from them instead of first deciding whether to call a tool. SessionStart In such a repository, adds one line naming the repository's ByteAsk repo_url (no network). The repository's name: the remote is `origin`, else the only remote. With no such remote (none, or several and none called origin) or one that is a folder on this machine, it is local/ and the first commit of HEAD's first-parent history (`git rev-list --first-parent --max-parents=0 HEAD`): it stays the same when the folder moves, and ByteAsk's collect script names the repository the same way when it indexes it. It is only ever your own upload. It never blocks Claude Code: the whole hook has a hard time budget (15 s), and on a timeout, an error, a repository that is not indexed, a folder that is not a git repository with code files, or no key, it adds nothing and exits 0. It sends nothing outside such a repository. It never logs your prompt, the answer or the key; its log (~/.byteask/context/hook.log) holds one line per run: time, outcome, duration, sizes, the repository's name. A command hook cannot use Claude Code's own MCP sign-in, so the hook has its own key: `login` opens a device sign-in (you approve it in the browser, signed in to ByteAsk), and the key it receives can only call find_code_for_task for your account. It is stored in ~/.byteask/context/hook.key (mode 0600), never in a URL, and you can revoke it on app.byteask.ai or with `logout`. Commands: python3 byteask-context-hook.py install [--allow-indexing] [--dry-run] register the hooks in ~/.claude/settings.json and the ByteAsk block in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md (backups first; only ByteAsk's own entries are touched) python3 byteask-context-hook.py login [--force] start the device sign-in: prints a link and a code (without --force, only when there is no stored key or ByteAsk no longer accepts it) python3 byteask-context-hook.py wait wait (up to 5 minutes) for the browser approval, then store the key python3 byteask-context-hook.py status key, connection (no prompt is sent), this folder's repository, last runs python3 byteask-context-hook.py logout revoke the key and delete it python3 byteask-context-hook.py uninstall logout, remove the hooks and the block, delete ~/.byteask/context (no command, JSON on stdin) the hook itself, as Claude Code runs it Environment (optional): BYTEASK_HOOK=off disables it; BYTEASK_HOOK_BUDGET_S (1-25, default 15); BYTEASK_HOOK_MAX_CHARS (1500-9500, default 6000); BYTEASK_CONTEXT_URL (default https://context.byteask.ai/mcp).
