## Overview

The instruction analysis hook runs before Claude processes your prompts, providing:

- **Task Type Classification:** Automatically categorizes your request as Research, Implementation, Mixed, or General
- **Instruction Validation:** Detects vague or unclear instructions and provides improvement suggestions
- **Plugin Recommendations:** Suggests top 2-3 relevant plugins from Puerto marketplace based on your task
- **Transparent Analysis:** Shows recommendations directly in Claude's response with install commands

## How It Works

1. **You submit a prompt** (any non-command message)
2. **Hook analyzes** your prompt before Claude sees it:
   - Classifies task type using keyword detection
   - Validates instruction clarity
   - Scores all marketplace plugins for relevance
   - Generates top recommendations
3. **Claude processes** your original prompt + recommendations
4. **You see** analysis section in Claude's response with suggested plugins

## Features

### Task Classification (Enhanced v2.0)

Uses advanced tokenization and stemming to determine task type:

- **Research:** explain, analyze, investigate, understand, compare, study, evaluate, etc.
- **Implementation:** implement, create, build, fix, refactor, add, deploy, optimize, etc.
- **Mixed:** Contains both research and implementation keywords (requires 1.5x threshold)
- **General:** No clear classification

**Improvements:** Stemming ("building" → "build"), stop word filtering, better thresholds

### Instruction Validation

Detects common issues:

- **Too vague:** "fix it", "make it better", "help" → Suggests being more specific
- **Missing context:** Short prompts (<30 chars) with ambiguous pronouns → Requests clarification
- **Overly broad:** "build an app" → Suggests breaking down into components

### Intelligent Plugin Scoring (v2.0)

Recommendations based on weighted scoring algorithm:

1. **Tokenized description overlap** (weight: 2) - Advanced text matching with stemming
2. **Name matching** (weight: 5) - Plugin name relevance (strongest signal)
3. **Keyword tags** (weight: 3) - Plugin keywords matching prompt
4. **Task type alignment** (weight: 5) - Agents for implementation, skills for research
5. **Project context** (weight: 3) - Detects your project type and boosts relevant plugins
6. **Category matching** (weight: 4) - Favorite categories get priority

**Quality threshold:** Only shows plugins scoring ≥8 points (configurable)

**Filters:**
- ✅ Skips already-installed plugins
- ✅ Reduces score for recently shown plugins (-5 points)
- ✅ Respects blacklist configuration
- ✅ Diversity algorithm ensures varied recommendations

### Project Context Detection (New in v2.0)

Automatically detects your project type:

- **JavaScript/Node.js** - Detects `package.json`, frameworks (React, Vue, Next.js, Express)
- **Python** - Detects `requirements.txt`, `pyproject.toml`
- **Rust** - Detects `Cargo.toml`
- **Go** - Detects `go.mod`
- **Ruby** - Detects `Gemfile`
- **Java** - Detects `pom.xml`, `build.gradle`

Boosts plugin scores when they match your project stack!

```

## Configuration

### Installation

**⚠️ Manual setup is required.** Hooks cannot be automatically configured by plugins for security reasons.

### Hook Configuration (Manual Setup Required)

You must manually add this to your `~/.claude/settings.json` file:

```json
{
  "hooks": {
    "UserPromptSubmit": [
      {
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "node ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/puerto/plugins/essentials/hooks/puerto-prompt-analyzer.js",
            "timeout": 60
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

**Setup Steps:**

1. Install the essentials plugin: `/plugin install essentials@puerto`

2. Find your plugin path:
   ```bash
   find ~/.claude/plugins -name "puerto-prompt-analyzer.js" 2>/dev/null
   ```

3. Replace the path in the hook configuration above with your actual path

4. Edit `~/.claude/settings.json` and add the hook configuration

5. Verify JSON is valid: `cat ~/.claude/settings.json | python3 -m json.tool`

6. **Restart Claude Code** (required)

7. Test by submitting a non-command prompt - you should see "🔍 Instruction Analysis" in the response

**Note:** If `node` is not in your PATH, use the full path: `"command": "/usr/local/bin/node /path/to/puerto-prompt-analyzer.js"`

For detailed setup instructions with troubleshooting, see the [Essentials Plugin README](../README.md#puerto-prompt-analyzer-hook-optional).

### Advanced Configuration (New in v2.0)

Customize the hook behavior by creating `~/.claude/puerto-prompt-analyzer.json`:

```json
{
  "minScore": 8,
  "maxRecommendations": 3,
  "cacheMinutes": 1,
  "blacklist": [],
  "favoriteCategories": [],
  "showScores": false
}
```

**Configuration Options:**

| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|--------|------|---------|-------------|
| `minScore` | number | 8 | Minimum score threshold (0-100). Higher = more selective |
| `maxRecommendations` | number | 3 | Maximum number of plugins to recommend |
| `cacheMinutes` | number | 1 | How long to cache marketplace data (in minutes) |
| `blacklist` | array | [] | Plugin names to never recommend (e.g., `["plugin-name"]`) |
| `favoriteCategories` | array | [] | Categories to boost (e.g., `["frontend", "backend"]`) |
| `showScores` | boolean | false | Show relevance scores for debugging |

**Example Configurations:**

**Conservative** (fewer, higher-quality recommendations):
```json
{
  "minScore": 12,
  "maxRecommendations": 2,
  "showScores": false
}
```

**Exploratory** (more recommendations, lower threshold):
```json
{
  "minScore": 5,
  "maxRecommendations": 5,
  "showScores": true
}
```

**Frontend-focused**:
```json
{
  "minScore": 8,
  "maxRecommendations": 3,
  "favoriteCategories": ["frontend", "ui", "design"],
  "blacklist": ["backend-heavy-plugin"]
}
```

See `puerto-prompt-analyzer.example.json` for more examples.

### Disabling the Hook

To temporarily disable the analyzer:

1. Open `~/.claude/settings.json`
2. Remove or comment out the `UserPromptSubmit` hook entry
3. Restart Claude Code

## Performance

**Version 2.0 Performance:**
- **Execution time:** < 100ms for 95% of prompts (was < 1s)
- **Cache hit rate:** ~95% after first run
- **Memory:** ~50KB marketplace.json cached in memory
- **Latency:** Minimal impact on workflow (<5% overhead)
- **Dependencies:** None (uses Node.js built-ins only)

**Optimizations:**
- ✅ Marketplace data cached for 60 seconds
- ✅ Installed plugins cached for 60 seconds
- ✅ Session memory for deduplication
- ✅ Efficient tokenization with stop words
- ✅ Logs executions >500ms for monitoring

## Error Handling

The hook follows a **fail-open** philosophy:

- Never blocks your prompt, even on errors
- All errors logged to stderr for debugging
- If marketplace.json is missing, proceeds without recommendations
- If JSON parsing fails, allows prompt normally
- Timeout protection (60s limit)

**You will never be prevented from working due to hook failures.**

## Troubleshooting

### No recommendations appearing

**Check:**
1. Is marketplace.json present? Run: `ls .claude-plugin/marketplace.json`
2. Is the hook executable? Run: `ls -la plugins/essentials/hooks/puerto-prompt-analyzer.js`
3. Check stderr for errors: Look for `[puerto-prompt-analyzer]` messages

**Solution:**
```bash
# Regenerate marketplace catalog
npm run generate-catalog

# Make hook executable
chmod +x plugins/essentials/hooks/puerto-prompt-analyzer.js
```

### Hook seems slow

**Check:**
```bash
# Test hook execution time
time echo '{"prompt": "test", "hook_event_name": "UserPromptSubmit"}' | \
  node plugins/essentials/hooks/puerto-prompt-analyzer.js
```

**Expected:** < 1 second

### Invalid recommendations

The hook uses simple keyword matching (MVP). Accuracy improves with:
- More specific prompts
- Using keywords from plugin descriptions
- Clearer task intent (research vs implementation)

**Future:** v2 will include LLM-based classification for better accuracy.

## Technical Details

### Input Format

Hook receives JSON via stdin:

```json
{
  "session_id": "abc123",
  "transcript_path": "/path/to/transcript.jsonl",
  "cwd": "/current/working/directory",
  "permission_mode": "default",
  "hook_event_name": "UserPromptSubmit",
  "prompt": "User's submitted text"
}
```

### Output Format

Hook outputs JSON to stdout:

```json
{
  "decision": undefined,
  "reason": "Analysis complete",
  "hookSpecificOutput": {
    "hookEventName": "UserPromptSubmit",
    "additionalContext": "## 🔍 Instruction Analysis\n..."
  }
}
```

### Skipped Prompts

Hook automatically skips:
- Empty prompts
- Command prompts (start with `/`)
- Prompts that fail JSON parsing

## Customization (Future v2)

Planned features:
- Configurable keywords in settings.json
- Plugin blacklist/whitelist
- LLM-based classification option
- User feedback loop (track recommendation acceptance)
- Installation status detection
- Context-aware recommendations
