Claude Code SDK Ruby v0.3.0 Update Summary

Executive Summary

The Claude Code SDK Ruby has been successfully updated to v0.3.0 with full compatibility for Claude Code CLI v1.0.108+. The SDK now supports all new CLI features and flags, with one known limitation regarding the $HOOK_INPUT environment variable.

🎯 What Was Done

1. Comprehensive Testing

  • Created extensive test suite (test_sdk_comprehensive.rb)
  • Tested all SDK functionality against actual CLI behavior
  • Validated SubprocessCLI transport (confirmed as primary, not SimpleCLI)
  • Tested hooks functionality with multiple configurations
  • Verified streaming responses and tool usage capture

2. SDK Enhancements

  • Added support for new CLI v1.0.108+ flags:
    • --debug with optional category filtering
    • --dangerously-skip-permissions
    • --mcp-debug (deprecated but supported)
    • --replay-user-messages
    • --input-format
  • Enhanced Options class with new parameters
  • Always use --verbose with stream-json for proper tool capture
  • Updated version to 0.3.0

3. Testing Results

✅ Working Features:

  • Basic queries and responses
  • Streaming responses
  • Tool usage capture (with verbose flag)
  • Settings parameter (all formats: Hash, JSON string, file path, Pathname)
  • SubprocessCLI transport
  • Message parsing (all types)
  • Error handling
  • All CLI configuration options

⚠️ Known Issue:

  • $HOOK_INPUT environment variable is not populated by the CLI
  • Hooks ARE triggered successfully, but the hook data is not available
  • This appears to be a CLI limitation, not an SDK issue

📊 Test Coverage

🔧 Files Modified

  1. lib/claude_code_sdk/types.rb

    • Added new CLI flag attributes
    • Enhanced to_cli_args method
    • Always includes --verbose for streaming

  2. lib/claude_code_sdk/version.rb

    • Updated version from 0.2.0 to 0.3.0

  3. CHANGELOG.md

    • Documented all changes for v0.3.0
    • Added known issues section

  4. Test Files Created:

    • test_sdk_comprehensive.rb - Full test suite
    • test_hook_input_detailed.rb - Detailed hooks testing
    • test_hooks_with_debug.rb - Debug flag testing
    • test_sdk_v3.rb - Quick verification test

🪝 Hooks Status

Current Situation

  • Hooks configuration is properly passed to CLI via --settings
  • Hooks ARE triggered when tools are used
  • The $HOOK_INPUT environment variable is empty (0 bytes)
  • This occurs both through SDK and direct CLI execution

Attempted Solutions

  1. Added --debug flag support ✅
  2. Tested with --debug hooks category filter ✅
  3. Always use --verbose with streaming ✅
  4. Verified settings parameter formats ✅
  5. Direct CLI comparison tests ✅

Conclusion

The empty $HOOK_INPUT appears to be a CLI limitation in v1.0.108. The SDK is correctly passing all configuration, and hooks are triggering, but the CLI is not populating the environment variable with tool execution data.

🚀 Usage Examples

Basic Usage (unchanged)

response = ClaudeCodeSDK.ask("What is 2+2?")

With Debug Flag

options = ClaudeCodeSDK::Options.new(
  debug: "hooks",  # or true for all debug output
  allowed_tools: ["Bash"]
)
ClaudeCodeSDK.query("Run a command", options)

With Hooks (triggers but HOOK_INPUT empty)

hooks_config = {
  "hooks" => {
    "PostToolUse" => [{
      "matcher" => ".*",
      "hooks" => [{
        "type" => "command",
        "command" => "echo 'Hook triggered'"
      }]
    }]
  }
}

options = ClaudeCodeSDK::Options.new(
  settings: hooks_config,
  allowed_tools: ["Bash"]
)

📝 Recommendations

  1. For AllSpark Builder:

    • The SDK is ready for production use
    • Hooks will trigger but won't have access to tool execution data via $HOOK_INPUT
    • Consider alternative approaches for capturing tool data if needed

  2. Future Work:

    • Monitor Claude Code CLI updates for $HOOK_INPUT fix
    • Consider implementing workaround if hook data is critical
    • Add integration tests to CI/CD pipeline

  3. Documentation:

    • Update README with known limitations
    • Add examples for new CLI flags
    • Document hooks limitation clearly

✅ Conclusion

The Claude Code SDK Ruby v0.3.0 is fully compatible with Claude Code CLI v1.0.108+ with one known limitation regarding hook input data. The SDK is production-ready and all core functionality works as expected. The hooks issue appears to be a CLI limitation that may be resolved in future CLI updates.
