A developer has implemented a PreToolUse hook to prevent accidental code pushes and leaked API keys when using AI coding assistants like Claude Code. This hook operates at the machine level, intercepting Bash commands to scan for sensitive information in staged Git commits and verify the destination repository before allowing a push. The system is designed to be efficient, with a quick exit for non-Git commands and specific checks for secrets like AWS keys and .env files, while also ensuring that hooks themselves cannot be bypassed.
