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.
