README.md

lapdog (Claude Code plugin)

Forwards every Claude Code hook event (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, UserPromptSubmit, SessionStart, PermissionRequest, ...) to a locally running lapdog / dd-apm-test-agent on http://localhost:8126/claude/hooks.

Pair this plugin with lapdog start (or lapdog claude) on the same machine. While both are running, every Claude Code event is recorded by the local agent for inspection (e.g. via the test agent's /test/session/traces and related endpoints, or the optional Web UI started with --web-ui-port).

Install

claude plugin marketplace add DataDog/dd-apm-test-agent
claude plugin install lapdog@lapdog

What it does

For each Claude Code hook event the plugin runs a single non-blocking curl that POSTs the event payload to the local lapdog agent. When the agent is not running the curl fails silently (|| true), so the plugin is harmless to leave installed.

The plugin does not write to ~/.claude/settings.json and does not require any further configuration.
