SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Claude sessions require repetitive setup to execute actions at key lifecycle moments. This skill provides a centralized, configurable system to automatically execute shell commands at predetermined hooks, ensuring consistency, safety, and efficiency across tool use.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hook types: PreToolUse, PostToolUse, UserPromptSubmit, SessionStart, SessionEnd, Stop, PreCompact, SubagentStart, TaskCompleted
  • Automatic guardrails: block dangerous inputs, scan for secrets, and sync memory
  • Practical patterns: auto-format on file write, memory synchronization, and session restoration

Quick Start

Enable this skill and customize the hook mappings in settings.json to automatically run hooks at PreToolUse, PostToolUse, SessionStart, and Stop during Claude sessions.
