claude - Coverage: full
- Settings target: .claude/settings.local.json
- MCP setup: project .mcp.json stdio server
- Block response shape: hookSpecificOutput.permissionDecision = deny
- Context/advice shape: hookSpecificOutput additionalContext and updatedInput
- Memory interception: provider memory imports into .coding-ethos/memories

- Provider id:
codex - Coverage: partial
- Settings target: .codex/config.toml
- MCP setup: .codex/config.toml mcp_servers.coding-ethos stdio server
- Block response shape: exit 2 with stderr reason or decision = block plus permissionDecision = deny for PreToolUse
- Context/advice shape: additionalContext where native; compact systemMessage otherwise
- Memory interception: provider memory imports into .coding-ethos/memories
- Memory fallback: memory.centralized denial points at the central memory file

- PostToolUse compact additionalContext
- PostToolUse edit verification advice
- SessionStart additionalContext
- UserPromptSubmit additionalContext

Partially supported surfaces:
- lifecycle context is compacted because Codex flattens multiline allowed context
Unsupported surfaces:

- SessionEnd additionalContext
- SubagentStart additionalContext
- SubagentStop additionalContext
Safety caveats:
- none
- Provider id:
gemini - Coverage: partial

- MCP setup: .gemini/settings.json mcpServers.coding-ethos stdio server
- Block response shape: decision = deny plus systemMessage
- Context/advice shape: additionalContext on supported lifecycle hooks
- Memory interception: provider memory imports into .coding-ethos/memories
- Memory fallback: memory.centralized denial points at the central memory file

Safety caveats:
- none
- Provider id:
