SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill empowers you to build robust automation and validation into your Claude Code workflows by understanding and implementing hooks.

Core Features & Use Cases

Event-Driven Automation: Trigger actions based on Claude Code events like tool use, user prompts, or session start/end.
Advanced Validation: Implement sophisticated checks for tool calls, file operations, and command execution using prompt-based or command-based hooks.
Use Case: Automatically validate that all code changes are accompanied by unit tests before allowing the agent to stop, or ensure sensitive files are not modified without explicit user confirmation.

Quick Start

Use the hook development skill to create a PreToolUse hook that validates file write operations for path traversal.

FAQPage Schema

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

Claude Code hooks trigger automated actions based on events like tool use, user prompts, or session start and end. You configure them using prompt-based or command-based formats to execute scripts and perform deterministic tasks.

What is the difference between prompt-based and command-based hooks?▼

Prompt-based hooks use advanced API configurations for sophisticated validation checks, while command-based hooks trigger direct script execution. Both formats handle event processing but differ in how they intercept and validate Claude Code operations.

Can I validate file operations and prevent sensitive file modifications using hooks?▼

Yes, hooks validate file operations, command execution, and tool calls. You can implement a PreToolUse hook to validate file write operations for path traversal or require explicit user confirmation before modifying sensitive files.

How do I debug Claude Code hooks when event handling is not working?▼

Debugging hooks involves checking event handling configurations, reviewing hook types, and validating script execution paths. The Skill provides debugging techniques and references to identify performance issues and security limitations in hook logic.

What security best practices should I follow when implementing Claude Code hooks?▼

Security best practices for hooks include validating tool calls, restricting file modifications, and ensuring command execution follows strict permission rules. Implementing prompt-based checks prevents unauthorized access during automated workflows.

Do I need advanced scripting knowledge to use prompt-based hooks API?▼

Advanced scripting knowledge is required because the Skill focuses on advanced prompt-based hooks API, covering complex configuration formats, event handling, and performance considerations for building robust automation and validation workflows.
