Hook Development

To create Claude Code hooks, you design prompt-based workflows that intercept PreToolUse and PostToolUse events, allowing you to validate tool usage, enforce security policies, and log outcomes across your projects.

Yes, you can migrate from command hooks to advanced prompt-based hooks. The process involves replacing basic command logic with prompt-based workflows, applying testing, debugging, and documentation patterns to ensure maintainable plugin behavior.

The best way to enforce security and validate tool usage is by implementing PreToolUse hooks with advanced prompt-based logic. This approach blocks unsafe commands, validates user prompts, and coordinates multi-hook workflows across events.

Cross-event coordination works by linking SessionStart and Stop hooks through prompt-based workflows that load project context at startup and coordinate state across multiple hook events during the session lifecycle.

Yes, you need specific configurations to test and debug plugin hooks. The workflow requires applying best-practice patterns for configuration, testing, and debugging to ensure maintainable and reliable prompt-based hook implementations.
