Quick Start

Option 1: Interactive Installation (Recommended)

If you have this repo added as a Claude Code skill, simply tell Claude:

"install the prompt injection defender"

Claude will handle the entire installation process for you.

Option 2: Install Script

# Clone this repo, then run the installer pointing to your project
git clone https://github.com/lasso-security/claude-hooks.git
cd claude-hooks
./install.sh /path/to/your-project

What gets installed

The installer copies hook files to your project and configures Claude Code:

your-project/
└── .claude/
    ├── hooks/
    │   └── prompt-injection-defender/
    │       ├── post-tool-defender.py
    │       └── patterns.yaml
    └── settings.local.json  ← hook configuration

📖 **For manual installation and more options, see [INSTALLATION.md](INSTALLATION.md)**
