Chat arch thrash detect

Skill BryceEWatson/claude-global-skills/chat-arch-thrash-detect

Calibration-gated PostToolUse hook that watches the rolling window of tool calls in a Claude Code session and emits a stderr nudge when it detects an Edit-thrash, Read-loop, Test-loop, or Tool-flail pattern. NOT a user-invokable skill — the directory exists to host the hook script + install/uninstall machinery alongside the rest of the chat-arch skill family. Gated behind `CHATARCH_THRASH_DETECT=1` for the 4-week calibration window (plan §Phase 4 #8).From its SKILL.md

chat-arch-thrash-detect

This skill is a holder for the PostToolUse hook at post-tool-use-hook.cjs. There is no slash-command surface — the hook runs automatically on every tool call when the user has run install.cjs AND set CHATARCH_THRASH_DETECT=1 in their environment.

If you reached this skill via a slash command by mistake, no-op: there is nothing to invoke here.

Calibration

Threshold values are duplicated in thresholds.cjs to keep the hook hermetic (no chat-arch package import). The canonical source is packages/analysis/src/thresholds.ts in the chat-arch repo (THRESHOLDS.thrash). When that file changes, mirror the change here.

Fire events are appended to ~/.claude/cache/chat-arch-thrash/fires.jsonl so the calibration pass can audit fire rate, false-positive rate, and ack-or-pivot follow-up rate per the plan's pre-registered launch criteria.
