sql-concat-watch
A Claude Code Mod that tells the model when an edit builds SQL by joining strings instead of passing query parameters. The note comes with the Edit's result and names each line, so the model rewrites the query in the same turn. By default nothing is stopped; in deny mode a commit, a push and a merge stop while a file still joins SQL.
What it does
The mod hooks the Edit and Write tools. After a successful call on a source file (
.ts,.tsx,.js,.jsx,.mjs,.cjs,.py,.php,.go,.rb,.java,.kt,.cs,.rs), it reads the lines the edit added: those ofnew_stringthatold_stringdoes not have, or every line of a Write.A line counts when it holds SQL and joins a value into it:
SQL Joins SELECT … FROM,INSERT INTO,UPDATE … SET,DELETE FROM,WHERE,VALUES,ORDER BY,GROUP BY,JOINin upper case"…" + xandx + "…"(JS, Java, Go, C#, Kotlin)select *orselect a, b from,insert into t (,delete from t where,update t set a =in any casePython f-strings, %and.format(PHP "… $var"and"…" . $var, Kotlin"… $var"C# $"… {x}", Ruby"… #{x}"fmt.Sprintf(,String.format(,format!(a template literal with ${…}, also over several linesA template literal whose tag passes the values as parameters is left alone:
sql`…`,Prisma.sql`…`,prisma.$queryRaw`…`,$executeRaw`…`.$queryRawUnsafeis not such a tag. Comment lines and English prose ("select a file from the list: " + name) do not count.The model reads this note after the Edit's result:
sql-concat-watch: this edit builds SQL from strings: src/db.ts:14 · src/db.ts:22. Pass values as query parameters (?, $1, :name) instead of joining them into the SQL text.The line number comes from the file after the edit; a Write is numbered from its own content. At most 8 places are named, the rest counted. When the file cannot be read, the path stands without a line and the error is logged once. The path is written against the git repository the session started in when the file is inside it, so a session opened in
web/names a file ofapi/asapi/db.ts. Outside a git repository it is written against the directory the session started in. That root is read once at the session's start, because a Bashcdmoves the session's own directory.The same moment writes one line to the transcript, so you see what the model was told. The line holds the places alone, without the instruction:
sql-concat-watch: SQL built from strings: src/db.ts:14 · src/db.ts:22The note and the line are separate channels: the model never reads the line, and you never read the note.
While the sidebar is open, those places go there instead, one line each, as an entry in its stream, and the transcript stays clean. The entry stays until newer ones push it off the pane. With the sidebar closed, or without that mod installed, the transcript line is written as above.
A finding stays open until the file no longer holds those lines. After a later Edit or Write the mod reads each open file again, and a file whose lines are all gone closes. A line counts as gone when it no longer builds SQL from strings: taken out, rewritten with parameters, or commented out. A file that keeps some of its lines stays open with only those, at the line numbers they stand on now; the record is replaced by what the file holds, never joined with what it held before. A file that is no longer there closes too, because it holds no line any more; a file that is there and cannot be read keeps its finding, because an unread file proves nothing:
sql-concat-watch: the SQL built from strings is gone from src/db.ts: src/db.ts:14 · src/db.ts:22With the sidebar closed the same text is one transcript line. The model reads nothing of this: it rewrote the query itself.
A finding the model did not close is measured again at the end of each main-loop turn, and what is left reaches the model as one note with its next prompt:
sql-concat-watch: 2 place(s) still build SQL from strings: src/db.ts:14 · src/db.ts:22. Pass the values as query parameters (?, $1, :name), or take the lines out.One note per turn, not one per prompt. Without this the finding would be said once, at the edit, and then stand in the pane while the model forgot it. You read nothing new: the pane already carries the same finding.
In
denymode the mod also stopsgit commit,git pushandgit mergewhile a file still builds SQL from strings. Before it stops one it reads each open file again, so a file the model fixed opens the gate itself. Agit commitanswers for its own files alone: the mod reads the index (git diff --cached --name-only) and lets the commit run when it holds none of the open files, with one line to you naming how many still stand. Apushand amergehold no index to read, so every finding stands there. There is no bypass; only the person turns the gate off with/sql-concat-watch mode note.notemode is the default and stops nothing.
In the live check the model put db.query(`SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${id}`) into a file with one Edit, read the note naming src/users.ts:3, and named the parameterized form in its answer.
Command
/sql-concat-watch on or off, the mode, and the files still joining SQL
/sql-concat-watch on | off on by default
/sql-concat-watch mode note note only; the default
/sql-concat-watch mode deny a commit, a push and a merge also stop while a file joins SQL

What it can reach
Validated with claude plugin validate on Claude Code 2.1.280:
❯ ./register.ts hooks: session.start, command.run{command=sql-concat-watch}, turn.complete, prompt.submit, tool.call{tool=Bash}, tool.call{tool=Edit}, tool.call{tool=Write}
❯ ./register.ts calls: $.command.register, $.fs.exists (via isGone), $.fs.read (via fileText), $.process.run (via shownRootOf, stagedPaths), $.session.cwd, $.sidebar.clear (via dropEntry), $.sidebar.set (via toPerson), $.store.get, $.store.set (via runCommand, setMode), $.ui.log (via fileText, gate, toPerson)
Reach L2, it runs git to read the index.
1. Reads: the text of each Edit and Write call; the Bash command text; the edited file after an Edit that joins SQL, for the line numbers, and each open file again while a finding stands
2. Runs: git rev-parse --show-toplevel once at the session's start, to show paths against the repository root; git rev-parse --show-toplevel and git diff --cached --name-only, at a commit in deny mode, to read which files the commit holds
3. Sends: a note to the model after an edit that joins SQL, one more with the next prompt while a finding stands, and one line to the transcript; nothing leaves the machine
4. Persists: in $.store, the on/off setting and the mode
5. Hostile input: the edited text is only matched by regular expressions and printed as file:line, never run
Limits
- The check is line by line with regular expressions, not a parser. A query built in a variable over several statements (
q = "SELECT …"; q += id) is not seen. - A value joined into a table or column name, where a parameter cannot stand, is reported too. The note asks for a reason there, it stops nothing.
- A query builder call (
knex.raw,DB::raw,whereRaw) with a joined string is seen only when the string itself holds SQL keywords. - An edit through Bash is not checked.
- A finding closes when the reported lines are gone from the file. A line moved to another file keeps it open.
- The
denymode has no bypass. When a finding cannot be fixed, the person turns the gate off with/sql-concat-watch mode note. - The gate reads the command text. A commit through a script or an alias that hides
git commitis not stopped. - A
git commit -a, a-amand a commit with a pathspec after--are not narrowed to the index, because they commit files the index does not hold yet. Every open finding stands for those. - The index is read before the command runs. A commit whose files change between the read and the run is measured against what the index held at the read.
