Command hooks in Claude Code execute shell scripts for direct system actions, whereas prompt hooks leverage LLM decisions to evaluate and match events, allowing dynamic workflow routing through structured decision schemas for automated tasks.

How do I validate event matching and decision schemas for Claude Code plugin hooks?

Validate event matching and decision schemas for Claude Code plugin hooks by checking hook structure correctness, verifying event matching logic, and testing error handling against provided references and templates to ensure production safety.

Can I refine existing Claude Code hooks to meet production best practices?

Yes, you can refine existing Claude Code hooks to meet production best practices by validating their structure, correcting event matching logic, updating decision schemas, and applying production safety checks for reliable automation.

What are the limitations when configuring Claude Code hooks for complex workflows?

Limitations when configuring Claude Code hooks for complex workflows include potential event matching errors, incorrect decision schema structures, and inadequate error handling, which require thorough validation and safety checks to prevent unreliable automation.
