Direzione di ricerca

Start by locating where PROMPT_HOOK_INJECTION_MAX is defined and how the prompt hook selects its output tier; inspect the existing environment-variable handling and tests for the hook. Compare the two proposed approaches and check related issues #1282, #1694, #2184, #914, and #1279 before choosing scope. Done means users can configure a lower cap or select nudge-only output, with tests covering the default and behavior.

Descrizione

Problem

PROMPT_HOOK_INJECTION_MAX is hardcoded (9,000 chars in 1.6.2, 16,000 before #1694). The only user-facing control is the kill-switch (CODEGRAPH_NO_PROMPT_HOOK=1), so the choice is all or nothing.

On Claude Code, hook output stays in the conversation and is re-read from cache on every later model call until the next compaction. A full-explore injection therefore costs its size multiplied by the number of calls that follow it, not just once.

What I measured

One long Claude Code session on Windows (v1.5.0, a TypeScript monorepo, prompts mostly in Spanish), counted from the session transcript:

Metric Value
Model calls 2,256
User prompts 226
prompt-hook injections 119
Compactions 4 (about 450 calls per segment)

In this session, a large share of the injections were not related to the prompt. For example, a prompt asking to read a blog post about token usage injected the source of unrelated UI components.

1.6.1 and 1.6.2 already remove three of the triggers I saw: <task-notification> (#1832), <agent-message> hand-backs (#2184) and everyday "como" (#1654). Thanks for those.

The new 9,000-char cap fixes #1694 by keeping the output inline. A side effect is that each full injection now enters the context whole. In 1.5.0, oversized output was persisted to a file and only a 2 KB preview reached the model. For users whose prompts often pass the gate, the total context cost per session can go up even as the number of injections goes down.

Proposal

Either of these would let users choose the trade-off without turning the hook off:

  1. CODEGRAPH_PROMPT_HOOK_MAX_CHARS, defaulting to the current 9,000 and clamped to it, so users can lower the cap (for example to 3,000).
  2. CODEGRAPH_PROMPT_HOOK_MODE=nudge, which always uses the existing medium-tier output: a short list of matching symbols plus the "call codegraph_explore" line. The agent then pulls source only when it needs it.

Option 2 matches the hook's own design, where the agent writes the explore query. It also keeps the hook useful as a reminder to query the graph, which is the behavior that #914 and #1279 report as missing.

Related: #1282 (output budget for explore), #1694, #2184.
