Hook System Overview

Hookify creates rule files that integrate with Claude Code's hook system to prevent unwanted behaviors.

Event Types

• bash: triggers on Bash tool use and matches command patterns
• file: triggers on Write/Edit tool use and matches file paths
• stop: triggers when a session ends
• prompt: triggers on user message submission and matches input patterns
• all: triggers on all events

Rule File Format

Files are stored as .claude/hookify.{name}.local.md:

---
name: descriptive-name
enabled: true
event: bash|file|stop|prompt|all
action: block|warn
pattern: "regex pattern to match"
---
Message to display when rule triggers.
Supports multiple lines.

Commands

• /hookify [description] creates new rules and auto-analyzes the conversation when no description is given
• /hookify-list lists configured rules
• /hookify-configure toggles rules on or off

Pattern Tips

• use regex syntax
• for bash, match against the full command string
• for file, match against the file path
• test patterns before deploying
