Can I use hooks to block dangerous commands?

Yes, by using a PreToolUse hook with a command that returns exit code 2, you can block specific tool executions and provide feedback to the AI.

What are Claude Code hooks?

Hooks are specialized triggers that allow you to execute scripts or prompts at specific points in Claude's execution lifecycle, such as before or after a tool is used.

What is the difference between command and prompt hooks?

Command hooks run shell scripts or binaries, while prompt hooks send a text instruction to the LLM to evaluate whether an action should proceed.

Where are these hooks stored?

Hooks can be configured globally in ~/.claude/settings.json or specifically for a project in .claude/settings.json.

Does this skill support MCP tools?

Yes, you can target Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools using the 'mcp__server__tool' naming pattern in the hook matcher.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Configures event-driven automation hooks to streamline workflows, enforce security, and automate tool-related tasks.

The adding-hooks skill provides a comprehensive framework for implementing custom lifecycle events within Claude Code. It allows developers to automate repetitive tasks—such as auto-formatting code after edits, validating bash commands before execution, or injecting real-time context into prompts—by hooking into specific session events like PreToolUse and PostToolUse. By simplifying the setup of user-scoped and project-scoped configurations, this skill ensures consistent tool behavior across environments while enhancing security through automated pre-execution checks.
