Hook Development for Claude Code

Acerca de

The Hook Development skill provides comprehensive patterns and best practices for extending Claude Code's capabilities through event-driven automation. It enables developers to implement sophisticated logic across the entire development lifecycle, from validating bash commands before execution (PreToolUse) to ensuring task completion (Stop). By offering standardized templates for both LLM-driven prompt hooks and deterministic bash command hooks, this skill helps users build secure, context-aware, and highly automated development environments.
