Writing Hookify Rules

Hookify Rules let you define patterns to monitor code and agent behavior, triggering warnings or blocking operations when matches occur. Use them to enforce best practices like preventing `rm -rf` commands or flagging improper logging patterns in your development workflow.

Yes. Write rules that watch for patterns in Bash commands, file edits, agent stop events, or user prompts. For example, create a rule to warn when `console.log` appears in TypeScript files, guiding developers toward proper logging before code is committed.

Rules apply across Bash commands, file edits, agent stop events, and user prompts. This event-driven enforcement ensures consistency and compliance throughout your development workflow, catching issues in real time across multiple interaction types.

Define patterns specific to your project standards, then automatically trigger real-time guidance or block operations that violate them. This prevents common errors and enforces consistent practices across your development team without manual code review intervention.

No. Hookify Rules work independently with no external dependencies or components required. Define your patterns and rules directly within Claude Code to monitor behavior and provide instant feedback or control across your development workflow.
