writing-hookify-rules

You can create custom AI guardrails by defining deterministic rules using a declarative YAML frontmatter format within Markdown files. This approach ensures safer and more predictable interactions by blocking or warning about specific bash commands like `rm -rf`.

Regular expressions are used in the `pattern` field of a hookify rule to match specific event triggers. This pattern matching mechanism allows the rule to evaluate commands, file operations, or user prompts against your defined criteria.

The YAML format for custom AI hooks requires specific fields such as `name`, `event`, `pattern`, and `conditions` within a Markdown file's frontmatter. This declarative structure defines the deterministic guardrails applied to AI interactions.

Yes, understanding regular expressions and YAML syntax is required to define deterministic guardrails. You need regex to construct the `pattern` field for matching specific commands, file edits, or prompts that trigger the rules.

Yes, you can prevent accidental file deletion by creating a custom rule that blocks or warns about `rm -rf` commands. The rule uses pattern matching on bash command events to enforce the deterministic guardrail.

AI behavior rules support various event types including bash commands, file operations, and user prompts. You specify the target event in the `event` field of the YAML frontmatter to apply the guardrail accurately.
