SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Master Claude Context Hooks (CCH) provides a deterministic runtime that intercepts Claude Code events and executes configured actions via a hooks.yaml file, giving precise control over code behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

Install, configure, and manage PreToolUse, PostToolUse, PermissionRequest, and other events with a Rust-based runtime.
Create, troubleshoot, and optimize hooks.yaml rules using declarative patterns, templates, and references.
Use hooks to inject context, run validation scripts, or block dangerous actions, improving safety and productivity.

Quick Start

Install CCH, initialize a hooks.yaml, and test a simple rule against a Write operation to verify behavior.

FAQPage Schema

How do I configure Claude Code hooks to intercept PreToolUse and PostToolUse events?▼

Claude Code hooks are configured by defining interception rules in a hooks.yaml file to control PreToolUse, PostToolUse, and related events deterministically. This enables precise runtime behavior management across multiple projects.

What is the best way to block dangerous actions during Claude Code runtime?▼

Blocking dangerous actions during Claude Code runtime is best achieved by creating declarative hooks.yaml rules. These rules intercept events like PermissionRequest to execute validation scripts or prevent unsafe operations before they occur.

How can I inject context automatically when running Claude Code scripts?▼

Context injection is accomplished by configuring hooks.yaml to trigger on specific Claude Code events. This deterministic runtime applies configured actions automatically, ensuring necessary context loads before tool execution without manual intervention.

How do I debug and optimize hooks.yaml rules for multiple projects?▼

Debugging and optimizing hooks.yaml rules involves using provided templates and references to test hook configurations against specific operations. This process isolates rule conflicts and refines event interception logic for safer code execution.

Does the Claude Code hooks runtime support custom validation scripts for Write operations?▼

The Claude Code hooks runtime supports custom validation scripts for Write operations through declarative hooks.yaml patterns. You can test simple rules against operations to verify behavior and ensure deterministic execution before committing changes.

Why do my Claude Code hooks not trigger consistently during installation?▼

Inconsistent Claude Code hooks during installation often stem from incorrect hooks.yaml entrypoint formatting. Ensure the configuration includes proper frontmatter name and description, and verify the Rust-based runtime is initialized correctly before testing rules.
