How to guard all projects on a machine with one setup with Canny

Writes Canny's hook entries to the global agent settings so every project is covered.

Who it is forA developer or platform lead who wants the same supervision in every repository on a workstation.

The problemSetting up hooks project by project is repetitive, and a new project can be started without any guard.

The outcomeClaude Code and Codex hook files point at Canny, so every project the agent opens is supervised.

What you need first

  • git installed
  • Node.js 22 or newer
  • Claude Code or Codex CLI installed in the project
  • A terminal to run the install commands
  • Repository is not on npm, so install is a git clone

Steps

  1. Clone the repository with git clone https://github.com/qkal/canny.git ~/.canny/src.
  2. Run node ~/.canny/src/dist/cli.js init --global once. (inferred, check the README)
  3. Open any project and run a short agent task to confirm events are recorded with node ~/.canny/src/dist/cli.js status.
  4. To remove a single project later, run node ~/.canny/src/dist/cli.js remove from that project root.

Prompt for your agent

Clone https://github.com/qkal/canny into ~/.canny/src and run `node ~/.canny/src/dist/cli.js init --global`. Report the files written, which per the README are ~/.claude/settings.json and ~/.codex/hooks.json, and run `node ~/.canny/src/dist/cli.js status` after a short session in <project-path>.

Caveat. Global hooks change settings used by every project, so review ~/.claude/settings.json and ~/.codex/hooks.json before relying on them.
