The decision: CC Safety Lab Founder Membership is ¥500/month (about $3.30) for monthly updates on Claude Code's emerging failure clusters with fixes and copy-paste defense hooks. This 5-question diagnostic estimates whether the subscription matches your operator setup — or whether the free hooks in this repository are enough.
Disclosure: The recommendation below routes to the CC Safety Lab Founder Membership (¥500/month, hosted on Ko-fi) where the score indicates a strong fit. The free hooks at cc-safe-setup and the free May 2026 issue Part 1 preview Gist (~6,000 words) cover the core defenses; the membership is only useful if multiple factors below indicate ongoing exposure to new incident patterns.
