How do Claude Code hooks function?

Skills utilize the UserPromptSubmit hook to inject context before a prompt is processed and the PreToolUse or Stop hooks to validate actions or provide reminders after a tool executes.

What is the 500-line rule for Claude Skills?

The 500-line rule is a best practice requiring SKILL.md files to stay under 500 lines. Detailed documentation should be moved to reference files to maintain AI focus and performance.

What are intent patterns in skill triggers?

Intent patterns use regex to detect the user's underlying goal (like 'creating a component') even if specific keywords aren't used, allowing for more natural skill activation.

How can I test my new Claude Skill?

You can manually test hooks using npx tsx commands to pipe mock JSON sessions into your activation and verification scripts to ensure triggers fire correctly.

What are the different enforcement levels?

Skills support BLOCK (physically prevents execution until conditions are met), SUGGEST (injects helpful context), and WARN (provides advisory reminders).

Orchestrates the creation, management, and optimization of specialized Claude Code skills following Anthropic's architectural best practices.

Acerca de

The Claude Skill Developer serves as a comprehensive framework for building and maintaining domain-specific capabilities within the Claude Code environment. It provides a structured approach to implementing the two-hook architecture—UserPromptSubmit for proactive suggestions and PreToolUse for critical guardrails—ensuring that AI agents adhere to project-specific patterns and safety rules. By leveraging trigger patterns in skill-rules.json and enforcing the 500-line rule for documentation, this skill helps developers create highly efficient, auto-activating assistants that scale with complex codebases.
