security-guidance: emit findings via hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext (#1358 #1375 #1783)
Fixes #1358, #1375, and #1783 — three related complaints about the
hook output protocol used at the three asyncRewake exit-2 sites
(handle_commit_review_posttooluse, handle_push_sweep_posttooluse,
handle_stop_hook).

The old shape at each site was:

  emit_metrics({...})                              # JSON to stdout (metrics)
  sys.stderr.write(banner + guidance + suffix)     # plain text to stderr
  sys.exit(2)                                      # asyncRewake trigger

That triggered three reported problems:

  #1375: CC's hook system parsing stdout for a SyncHookJSONOutput sees
         only the bare metrics dict — no findings reason — and on older
         CC versions surfaces a 'json output validation failed' error
         because stderr's plain text isn't valid JSON.
  #1783: CC's UI shows 'Permission to use Edit has been denied' with no
         permissionDecisionReason — the stderr text is invisible to that
         UI surface; CC only renders fields it can find in the JSON.
  #1358: Reporters experienced the exit(2) as 'gating' behavior rather
         than 'warning' behavior. The pattern-warning path in main()
         was migrated to exit(0) + hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext
         long ago; these three asyncRewake sites were never updated.

Fix: extend emit_metrics() to accept additional_context, system_message,
and hook_event_name kwargs, and emit them in the same SyncHookJSONOutput
line as the metrics. CC's parser stops scanning stdout after the first
{-prefixed line, so the findings must ride in that same line — calling
emit_metrics twice or adding a second print(json.dumps(...)) would
silently drop the second emission.

At each of the three call sites: route the guidance text that used to
go to stderr through additional_context instead. The stderr.write is
dropped — additionalContext carries the same text to the model via the
JSON channel, and the legacy stderr surface is what triggered #1375's
JSON validation error on older CC clients.

exit(2) is preserved at all three sites. That's the documented mechanism
for triggering the asyncRewake 'force fix' feedback loop (per the
inline comment at the stop-hook site); switching to exit(0) without
verifying CC's protocol-version support risks dropping the rewake
entirely and silently losing all the findings the hook just computed.

For push-sweep specifically: emit_metrics had to move from an
unconditional pre-emission (line ~1680) to two conditional sites (one
in the no-vulns branch with exit(0), one in the with-vulns branch with
exit(2)) because the with-vulns branch needs to attach additional_context
and CC reads only the first JSON line — a second emit would be ignored.
Behavior is preserved: every push-sweep fire emits exactly one metrics
line, just at a slightly later point in the function body.

Verified locally on macOS Python 3.13:

  - py_compile clean.
  - Existing 45 smoke + extensibility tests still pass.
  - 21 new tests in test_hook_output_protocol.py (added to internal
    test suite at sg-staging/tests/, not in this PR):

      * 6 backward-compat: emit_metrics with metrics only, with
        rewake_summary, etc. — verifies the legacy callers still
        produce the same output shape.
      * 5 additional_context shape: lands in hookSpecificOutput,
        round-trips the value, default hook_event_name is sensible,
        empty/None doesn't pollute the JSON with an empty hSO block.
      * 3 system_message shape: lands in systemMessage, empty/None
        suppressed, round-trips.
      * 1 combined: metrics + rewake_summary + additional_context +
        system_message + hook_event_name all merge into one JSON line.
      * 6 round-trip safety: emoji, quotes, backslashes, newlines,
        Unicode (山田太郎 + 🎉), tabs, null bytes — all survive the
        json.dumps cycle.
      * 6 static-shape: each of the three asyncRewake handlers
        (commit_review, push_sweep, stop_hook) is checked to confirm
        it passes additional_context to emit_metrics and no longer
        writes the PROVENANCE_BANNER guidance to stderr. Catches the
        regression class where a new exit(2) site forgets to plumb
        guidance through the JSON channel.

  - 66/66 pass total (45 existing + 21 new) in 2.57s.

NOT verified end-to-end with a real CC instance triggering all three
hooks. The static-shape tests + the JSON round-trip tests should catch
any regression in the emit_metrics output, but the actual interaction
with CC's asyncRewake / rewakeMessage flow (especially: does
hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext successfully appear in the
rewakeMessage that CC sends to the model?) needs runtime verification
against a CC version that supports the modern protocol.

The reporter for #1375 specifically called out that CC's older
versions surfaced 'json output validation failed' on the old stderr-
only output; this fix changes the stdout shape to valid JSON with the
findings included, which should resolve that error class.

Claude Code Plugins Directory

A curated directory of high-quality plugins for Claude Code.

⚠️ Important: Make sure you trust a plugin before installing, updating, or using it. Anthropic does not control what MCP servers, files, or other software are included in plugins and cannot verify that they will work as intended or that they won't change. See each plugin's homepage for more information.

Structure

  • /plugins - Internal plugins developed and maintained by Anthropic
  • /external_plugins - Third-party plugins from partners and the community

Installation

Plugins can be installed directly from this marketplace via Claude Code's plugin system.

To install, run /plugin install {plugin-name}@claude-plugins-official

or browse for the plugin in /plugin > Discover

Contributing

Internal Plugins

Internal plugins are developed by Anthropic team members. See /plugins/example-plugin for a reference implementation.

External Plugins

Third-party partners can submit plugins for inclusion in the marketplace. External plugins must meet quality and security standards for approval. To submit a new plugin, use the plugin directory submission form.

Plugin Structure

Each plugin follows a standard structure:

plugin-name/
├── .claude-plugin/
│   └── plugin.json      # Plugin metadata (required)
├── .mcp.json            # MCP server configuration (optional)
├── commands/            # Slash commands (optional)
├── agents/              # Agent definitions (optional)
├── skills/              # Skill definitions (optional)
└── README.md            # Documentation

Skill-bundle plugins

When a plugin's source repository ships skills (SKILL.md files) without a .claude-plugin/plugin.json manifest, the marketplace entry can declare the skills directly using strict: false and an explicit skills array.

{
  "name": "example-bundle",
  "description": "Brief description of the bundled skills.",
  "author": { "name": "Author Name" },
  "category": "development",
  "source": {
    "source": "git-subdir",
    "url": "https://github.com/example-org/sdk.git",
    "path": "packages/agent-skills",
    "ref": "main",
    "sha": "<commit sha>"
  },
  "strict": false,
  "skills": [
    "./skill-a",
    "./skill-b",
    "./skill-c"
  ],
  "homepage": "https://github.com/example-org/sdk"
}

Each path in skills is relative to source.path and points at a directory containing a SKILL.md. Paths can reach deeper than a single level — for example, ["./libA/skill-1", "./libB/skill-2"] exposes a curated subset across multiple library subdirectories. Each skill is registered as <plugin-name>:<skill-name> in Claude Code.

For the underlying schema, see Strict mode in the marketplace documentation.
