+# gate-hook.sh - a Claude Code PreToolUse hook that keeps the door the only
+# way out.
+#
+# The skill says never run the pull request creation command directly, and
+# a rule an agent must remember is followed when remembered. This hook reads
+# each Bash command before it runs and refuses one that writes to GitHub on
+# its own: opening, commenting on, reviewing, editing, closing, merging or
+# updating a pull request or an issue, a write through gh api (a writing
+# method, fields without -X GET, or a GraphQL mutation), and a forced git
+# push or a branch delete. The same action through its gate (housebroken
+# file, issue, reply, push or hygiene) passes, because the gate runs gh
+# inside its own script, where this hook does not look. Reads, releases and
+# plain pushes are not touched.
+#
+# It reads the command text, so it holds the accident, not the intent: a
+# write behind bash -c, eval, xargs, env, a script file, a full path to gh
+# or an alias passes it.
+#
+# Writes to your own repositories pass when the owner is listed, one per
+# line, in $HOUSEBROKEN_HOME/own (default ~/.housebroken/own); the owner is
+# read from -R/--repo or from the repos/OWNER/... path of a gh api call, never
+# from the clone, because in a fork's clone gh writes to the upstream parent
+# while origin names you. A forced push
+# is refused everywhere, because a fork carries your name too: push a rework
+# with housebroken push, or run it yourself.
+#
+# `housebroken install-hook` copies this script to
+# ~/.claude/hooks/housebroken-gate.sh, where an upgrade does not move it, and
+# prints the entry to add to the "PreToolUse" list in ~/.claude/settings.json.
+# It does not edit your settings.
+#
+# Usage:
+#   bash gate-hook.sh             (as Claude Code runs it: the call on stdin)
+#   bash gate-hook.sh --install
+#   bash gate-hook.sh --help
+#
