  • Manage hook scope (project, local, user) and reference environment variables and safety considerations.

Quick Start

Create a new skill under claude-config/skills/hooks-creator with SKILL.md (frontmatter name/description) and add a sample hook configuration like a PostToolUse hook with a simple Python script that logs the executed command. Then add a supporting script in scripts/ and a reference in references/, to illustrate the workflow.
