📦 About

Eyelet provides comprehensive management, templating, and execution handling for AI agent hooks. Like an eyelet that securely connects hooks to fabric, Eyelet connects and orchestrates your AI agent's behavior through a reliable workflow system.

✨ Features

• 🪝 Universal Hook Support - Captures all Claude Code hook types ✅
• 💾 Flexible Logging - JSON files, SQLite database, or both ✅
• 🔍 Powerful Queries - Search, filter, and analyze your hook data ✅
• 🏥 Health Monitoring - eyelet doctor checks your configuration ✅
• 🚀 Zero Config - eyelet configure install-all sets up everything ✅
• 📊 Rich Analytics - Session summaries, error analysis, and more ✅
• 🔧 Git Integration - Automatic Git metadata enrichment ✅
• ⚡ High Performance - SQLite with WAL mode for concurrent access ✅

🚀 Quick Start

# Install universal logging for ALL hooks with auto-updates
uvx eyelet configure install-all --autoupdate

# Or install without auto-updates (manual updates required)
uvx eyelet configure install-all

# Enable SQLite logging for better performance
uvx eyelet configure logging --format sqlite

# Check your configuration health (detects unpinned versions)
uvx eyelet doctor

# Query your hook data
uvx eyelet query summary          # Session overview
uvx eyelet query search --help    # Search options
uvx eyelet query errors           # Debug issues

⚠️ Important: Version Updates

By default, uvx eyelet caches the package and won't auto-update. You have three options:

1. Enable auto-updates (recommended):

   uvx eyelet configure install-all --autoupdate
   

   This uses uvx eyelet@latest which always fetches the latest version.

2. Manual update when needed:

   uvx --reinstall eyelet@latest execute --log-only
   

3. Use pipx for global installation:

   pipx install eyelet
   pipx upgrade eyelet  # When updates are available
   

Run eyelet doctor to check if your hooks are configured for auto-updates.

🎯 Universal Hook Handler

Eyelet includes a powerful universal hook handler that logs EVERY Claude Code hook to a structured directory:

# Install logging for all hooks with one command
uvx eyelet configure install-all

# Your hooks will be logged to:
./eyelet-hooks/
├── PreToolUse/
│   └── Bash/2025-07-28/
│       └── 20250728_133300_236408_PreToolUse_Bash.json
├── PostToolUse/
│   └── Read/2025-07-28/
├── UserPromptSubmit/2025-07-28/
├── Stop/2025-07-28/
└── PreCompact/manual/2025-07-28/

Each log contains:

• Complete input data from Claude Code
• Environment variables and context
• Timestamps (ISO and Unix)
• Session information
• Tool inputs/outputs
• Python version and platform details

🎯 Features

• Dynamic Hook Discovery - Automatically detects new tools and generates all valid hook combinations ✅
• Beautiful TUI - Navigate with a Textual-powered interface for reliable connections ✅
• Template System - Deploy pre-configured hook patterns with a single command ✅
• Workflow Engine - Chain complex behaviors with conditional logic ❌ (Not implemented - raises NotImplementedError)
• Comprehensive Logging - Track every hook execution in SQLite or filesystem ✅
• AI Integration - Native Claude Code SDK support for intelligent workflows ✅
• Real-time Monitoring - Watch hook executions as they happen ✅ (via eyelet logs --follow)

💾 SQLite Logging

Eyelet's SQLite logging provides powerful analytics and querying capabilities:

# Enable SQLite logging
uvx eyelet configure logging --format sqlite

# Search for specific patterns
uvx eyelet query search --text "error" --tool Bash --last 1h

# Get session summary
uvx eyelet query summary --format json

# Analyze errors
uvx eyelet query errors --last 24h

# Export specific session
uvx eyelet query session <session-id> --format json > session.json

Why SQLite?

• ⚡ Fast queries across millions of hooks
• 🔍 Full-text search with advanced filters
• 📊 Analytics without external dependencies
• 🔄 Concurrent access with WAL mode
• 💾 Compact storage compared to JSON files

🎨 Example Hook Configuration

{
  "hooks": [{
    "type": "PreToolUse",
    "matcher": "Bash",
    "handler": {
      "type": "command", 
      "command": "uvx eyelet execute --log-only"
    }
  }]
}

🔍 JSON Validation & Linting

Eyelet provides built-in validation for Claude settings files and VS Code integration:

# Validate your Claude settings
uvx eyelet validate settings

# Validate a specific file
uvx eyelet validate settings ~/.claude/settings.json

VS Code Integration

The project includes a JSON schema for Claude settings files. VS Code users get:

• ✅ IntelliSense/autocomplete for hook configurations ⚠️ (Schema exists but no .vscode/settings.json in project)
• ✅ Real-time error detection ⚠️ (Schema exists but VS Code config not set up)
• ✅ Hover documentation ⚠️ (Schema exists but VS Code config not set up)

See docs/vscode-json-linting.md for setup instructions.

🔗 Connection Philosophy

Eyelet embraces hardware connection terminology for reliable, secure attachment:

• "Thread through the eyelet!" - Launch the TUI
• "Secure the connection!" - Deploy templates
• "Check the connection log" - View logs
• "Scan for connection points" - Discover new hooks
• "Hold fast!" - Maintain current configuration

🧪 Testing

Eyelet includes comprehensive testing tools to ensure your hooks are working correctly:

Testing Hook Integration

# Run the interactive hook test
mise run test-hooks

# This will generate a unique test ID and guide you through testing all tools
# After running the test commands, verify with:
mise run test-hooks-verify zebra-1234-flamingo-5678

# View hook statistics
mise run hook-stats

# Generate a coverage report
mise run hook-coverage

# Clean old logs (older than 7 days)
mise run hook-clean

Development Testing

# Run all tests
mise run test

# Run linting
mise run lint

# Run type checking
mise run typecheck

# Run all CI checks
mise run ci

Manual Hook Testing

The test_all_hooks.py script provides comprehensive hook testing:

• Generates unique test identifiers for tracking
• Tests all Claude Code tools (Bash, Read, Write, Edit, etc.)
• Verifies hook logs contain expected data
• Provides coverage reports
