Task Orchestrator Hooks Builder

Automate cascade event responses by creating hooks that trigger Bash scripts on specific events. This Skill guides you through designing the event matcher and action, generating defensive scripts with JSON parsing via jq, and configuring .claude/settings.local.json to connect your hooks to MCP clients like Claude Code and Cursor.

Yes. The builder interviews your needs, generates defensive Bash scripts with input validation and environment checks, and automatically updates your local config. You specify the cascade event and action; the Skill produces production-ready scripts following portable path and security patterns.

Safe, portable hooks use defensive scripting patterns: input validation, environment variable checks, required tooling verification, and jq for JSON parsing. This Skill generates scripts that rely on $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR for portable paths and include quality gates to prevent failures across MCP clients and platforms.

The Skill provides test inputs and sample JSON payloads matching your hook's event type. Deploy your generated hook to .claude/settings.local.json, then run the test data through your script to verify the matcher fires and the action executes correctly.

Yes. This Skill generates hooks compatible with any MCP client—Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and others. Hooks use portable Bash, jq, and standard environment variables, ensuring they work consistently across clients and operating systems.

The Skill includes templates for common cascade events like PostToolUse and others. During the interview, you select or describe the event you want to respond to, define the matcher condition, and specify the action; the builder generates the corresponding hook configuration.
