block-no-verify-hook

by wshobson41k

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.

Install

The skill file stays in the publisher's repository.

Paste the copied command in a terminal. It installs this SKILL.md into that agent.

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.

Code	Meaning
0	Allow the tool call to proceed
1	Error (tool call still proceeds, warning shown)
2	Block the tool call entirely

Flag	Purpose	Why Blocked
`--no-verify`	Skips pre-commit and commit-msg hooks	Bypasses linting, formatting, testing, security checks
`--no-gpg-sign`	Skips GPG commit signing	Bypasses commit signing policy
