  • Define and manage rule metadata such as name, enabled status, event type, and patterns.
  • Support simple and advanced formats with optional conditions to refine matches.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create Hookify rules to watch for patterns and show messages?▼

Hookify rules support five event types: bash, file, stop, prompt, and all. You specify the target event in the YAML frontmatter to determine when the rule body evaluates conditions and triggers its message.

What is the required format for Hookify rule files?▼

You test Hookify rules by triggering the corresponding event specified in the frontmatter, such as executing a bash command or editing a file. This validates that your pattern conditions correctly match and display the intended message.

Can I use Hookify rules to guard bash commands and audit file edits?▼

Yes, Hookify rules can guard bash commands and audit file edits by defining patterns for bash or file events. The rule evaluates optional conditions against the event payload and displays a custom message to guide or warn the user.

How do I enable or disable specific Hookify rules?▼

You manage Hookify rule metadata, including the enabled status, directly within the YAML frontmatter of the local markdown file. Setting the enabled flag controls whether the rule actively watches for its defined patterns and events.
