What are Claude Code hooks?

Hooks are lightweight automated scripts triggered by Claude Code lifecycle events, such as tool execution or session initialization, used to run background tasks without blocking the workflow.

What languages are supported for hook scripts?

You can write hook scripts in any language your terminal supports, though Bash and Node.js are the most common choices for these lightweight tasks.

Will these hooks slow down my coding experience?

No, the recommended practice for these hooks is to maintain execution times under 100ms to ensure a seamless and responsive development environment.

Can I use this skill to prevent Claude from running dangerous commands?

Yes, by utilizing the PreToolUse hook, you can implement validation scripts that scan commands for dangerous patterns and block them before they execute.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates development workflows and enforces safety guardrails by managing custom Claude Code lifecycle hooks.

About

The Claude Code Hooks Manager provides a comprehensive framework for designing and implementing lifecycle hooks within the Claude Code environment. It allows developers to trigger automated scripts during critical events such as SessionStart, PreToolUse, and PostToolUse to enforce security protocols, automate code quality checks, and maintain context. Whether you need to block dangerous bash commands, auto-format code after an AI edit, or generate project status cards upon initialization, this skill provides the patterns and configuration guidance to streamline your AI-assisted development workflow.

Key Features

Full lifecycle support for PreToolUse, PostToolUse, SessionStart, and Stop events
Dynamic session status cards for instant project context and tech stack detection
Post-edit automation for linting and formatting across multiple languages
Permission preservation logic to maintain file integrity during AI edits
Automated safety guardrails to detect and block dangerous shell patterns
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Automatically running Prettier, Black, or Gofmt after Claude modifies source files
Preventing accidental execution of high-risk commands like 'rm -rf' via pre-execution validation
Generating automated project summaries and task progress reports at session start
