claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [FEATURE] Hook Retry Limit [1 participants]

TL;DR

Implement a retry limit for hooks in settings.json to prevent infinite looping when a hook returns a non-zero exit code.

Guidance

• Consider adding a retry_limit argument to the hooks section in settings.json to specify the maximum number of retries for a hook.
• Evaluate the current workaround using a shell script with a per-session_id retry limit to determine if it can be adapted as a temporary solution.
• Investigate how to handle hooks that return non-zero exit codes to prevent wasting tokens and improve overall productivity.
• Review the Done hook implementation to ensure it can be extended to support a retry limit or fallback mechanism.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient technical details to generate a accurate snippet.

Notes

The proposed solution requires modifications to the settings.json file and potentially the hooks implementation. The alternative solution using a shell script may have limitations or drawbacks that need to be considered.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement the proposed retry_limit argument in settings.json to prevent infinite looping and improve productivity.
