SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires claude-code-plugin-framework, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a comprehensive solution for creating and implementing Claude Code plugin hooks, automating event-driven workflows, and managing complex automation tasks with advanced configurations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Event-Driven Automation: Execute scripts based on Claude Code events like PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, SessionStart, etc.
  • Advanced Prompt-Based Hooks: Use LLM-driven decision making for context-aware validation and dynamic workflows.
  • Command Hooks: Execute bash commands for deterministic checks, file operations, and external tool integrations.
  • Plugin and Settings Configuration: Manage hook configurations in plugin hooks.json and user settings.json.
  • Use Case: Develop a Claude Code plugin that performs security checks on code submissions by using a combination of prompt-based hooks for LLM-driven analysis and command hooks for quick file system checks.

Quick Start

Use the hook-development skill to set up a PreToolUse hook that checks for the presence of sensitive files before any code is executed. Simply create a new hook configuration file in your plugin's hooks/ directory and specify the matcher and hook type.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate workflows using Claude Code hooks for event-driven triggers?

Claude Code hooks automate event-driven workflows by executing scripts based on events like PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, and SessionStart. You can configure both prompt-based hooks for LLM-driven analysis and command hooks for deterministic file operations.

What is the difference between prompt-based and command hooks in Claude Code plugins?

Prompt-based hooks use LLM-driven decision making for context-aware validation and dynamic workflows, while command hooks execute bash commands for deterministic checks, file operations, and external tool integrations within your Claude Code plugin.

How to configure a PreToolUse hook in a Claude Code plugin to check for sensitive files?

To configure a PreToolUse hook, create a new hook configuration file in your plugin's hooks/ directory and specify the matcher and hook type. You can manage these hook configurations within your plugin's hooks.json file or user settings.json.

Does Claude Code hook development require a specific plugin framework or environment setup?

Yes, developing Claude Code hooks requires the Claude Code plugin framework and its associated environment setup. You must configure JSON-based settings for hook execution, timeout settings, and input validation to ensure proper event-driven automation.

Can I use Claude Code hooks to perform automated security checks on code submissions?

Yes, you can develop a Claude Code plugin that performs security checks on code submissions by combining prompt-based hooks for LLM-driven analysis with command hooks for quick file system checks before code is executed.

What are the limitations when managing timeout settings and input validation for Claude Code hooks?

Claude Code hooks rely on JSON-based configurations for execution, timeout settings, and input validation. Complex event-driven workflows require careful configuration management across plugin hooks.json and user settings.json to avoid execution failures.
