One hook on * that records every event on $ (tool calls, prompts, turns, other plugins' fs/http/process calls) as JSON lines with origin plugin and tier…

One hook on "*" sees every event: the engine's own (tool.call, prompt.submit, turn.*, ...) and every other plugin's calls on $ (fs.read, http.fetch, process.run, ...). It records one JSON line per dispatch: the event, who raised it (next.origin: plugin and tier), how long it took and whether something beneath denied or threw. The "after" placement, so the outcome is recorded too; denials surface here as the value next(e) resolves to.
Lines are buffered in memory and flushed to a JSONL file through $.fs (there is no append on $, so a flush reads the file, keeps its tail under maxBytes, and writes it back) at the end of every turn and every flushEvery events. The hook is never re-entered for its own $.fs calls, so flushing from inside it does not recurse.
Seat this plugin FIRST (an org prepends it in managed settings) so nothing beneath it can bypass the log. A hook that fails is skipped by the engine (fail-open, logged in --debug-file), so it never blocks the session.
/universal-audit-log on|off toggles recording for the session (so meus-mods can control it too); turning it off stops recording new lines without touching whatever is already flushed to disk.
path: string JSONL file, relative to the working directory (default ".claude/logs/mods-audit.jsonl")
skipEvents: string events not to record, comma-separated (default: the render / log chatter)
flushEvery: number flush after this many buffered lines (default 50)
maxBytes: number keep the file under this size, dropping the oldest lines (default 2 MiB)
Declared in .claude-plugin/plugin.json (userConfig). Set them in /config, in user settings (~/.claude/settings.json, not project settings), with --settings <file> or in managed settings:
{ "pluginConfigs": { "universal-audit-log@skills-dir": { "options": { } } } }
npx claude-code-templates@latest --mod observability/universal-audit-log
claude
It is written to .claude/skills/universal-audit-log/, which Claude Code auto-loads as universal-audit-log@skills-dir. For one session with hot reload: claude --plugin-dir .claude/skills/universal-audit-log. claude plugin validate .claude/skills/universal-audit-log prints every event it hooks and every $ call it makes.
Requirements. Mods are on by default in Claude Code 2.1.287+. Typed against Anthropic's declarations: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/tree/main/mods
