Can I use this for both Python and JavaScript hooks?

Yes, the skill includes specific authoring guides and templates for both Node.js (CJS) and Python to ensure cross-language compatibility.

What are inline agent hooks?

Inline agent hooks are specialized configurations defined within agent frontmatter that allow you to manage MCP servers, skills, and memory at a granular level.

Does it cover Claude Code session logging?

Yes, it provides a verified schema for Claude Code session JSONL logs, helping you create hooks that track costs, workloads, and tool results.

How do I keep the hook documentation up to date?

The skill includes a built-in bash script that re-fetches official platform documentation and transforms it into the reference files used by the skill.

What AI assistants are supported by this guide?

The guide covers Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and Amp, providing platform-specific schemas and best practices for each.
