How do I create event-driven hooks for Claude Code automation?▼

Claude Code hooks trigger event-driven automation by matching specific tools and events to execute custom scripts. You configure hook types and matchers to validate commands, log actions, or enhance behavior dynamically.

Can I validate Bash commands before execution using Claude Code hooks?▼

Yes, you can validate Bash commands before execution by setting up a Claude Code hook with an appropriate event matcher. This ensures code safety and compliance by intercepting and checking commands prior to running them.

What do I need to configure command and prompt hook types in Claude Code?▼
