hook-development

Claude Code hooks are implemented through prompt-based automation that intercepts PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, and SessionStart events. This skill provides scripts and reference patterns to coordinate event-driven workflows across diverse projects safely.

Hook-driven automation in Claude Code plugins enables safer, event-driven workflows by triggering validation and processing during session starts, tool invocations, and user prompts. It uses portable paths via CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT and resource folders for maintainable scripts.

Yes, jq is a required dependency for developing hook automation with this skill. It is used for parsing and validating JSON data structures within the hook scripts and validation processes before deployment.

Yes, you can test and validate Claude Code hooks before deployment using integrated testing and linting tooling. The skill includes scripts and references designed to ensure robust hook behavior and enforce end-to-end capabilities across plugin workflows.

The best way to manage resource paths in Claude Code plugin scripts is by using the CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT variable for portable path resolution. This ensures scripts, references, and assets remain accessible across diverse project environments.

SessionStart hooks may fail if scripts lack proper portable path configuration via CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT or if validation processes are not integrated. This skill provides reference patterns and linting tooling to enforce end-to-end capabilities and resolve coordination issues.
