Where should I store my Hookify rules?

Rules should be stored in the .claude/ directory of your project root, following the naming convention '.claude/hookify.{rule-name}.local.md'.

What kind of events can I trigger rules on?

You can trigger rules on 'bash' commands, 'file' edits (writing or modifying text), 'stop' events (when the agent finishes), and 'prompt' events (user input).

Can Hookify rules prevent Claude from running certain commands?

Yes, by setting the 'action' field to 'block' in the rule's frontmatter, you can prevent Claude from executing specific bash commands or completing operations that match your patterns.

What is a Hookify rule in Claude Code?

A Hookify rule is a markdown file with YAML frontmatter that allows you to define specific patterns (using regex) for Claude to watch. When a pattern matches, Claude displays a custom message or performs a specified action.

How do I test my Hookify regex patterns?

You can test patterns using Python's re module in your terminal or by using online regex testers like regex101 set to the Python flavor.
