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
