How do I create a new Hookify rule?

Create a file in your project's .claude/ directory named hookify.{rule-name}.local.md and define the name, event, and pattern in the YAML frontmatter.

What event types can I trigger rules on?

Hookify supports bash (commands), file (edits and writes), stop (when the agent finishes), and prompt (user input) events.

Do I need to restart my session to apply rule changes?

No, Hookify rules are read dynamically and take effect immediately on the next tool use after the rule file is saved.

Can I prevent Claude from running specific bash commands?

Yes, by setting the action field to 'block' and targeting the 'bash' event with a regex pattern, you can stop Claude from executing prohibited commands.

What is a Hookify rule in Claude Code?

A Hookify rule is a markdown file with YAML frontmatter that tells Claude to watch for specific patterns in commands or file edits and respond with warnings or blocks when matches occur.

Security & Testing

Streamlines the creation and configuration of custom safety and quality rules for Claude Code using the Hookify framework.

About

This skill empowers developers to implement Hookify rules, which are specialized markdown files that define patterns for Claude to monitor during development. By leveraging YAML frontmatter and regex patterns, the skill helps you set up automated warnings or blocks for dangerous bash commands, security vulnerabilities in file edits, or missing steps in a workflow. It provides a standardized approach to project governance, ensuring that AI-driven code changes adhere to your specific security, style, and operational requirements.

Key Features

0 GitHub stars
Configures advanced logic using regex_match, contains, and starts_with operators
Generates standardized YAML frontmatter for Hookify rule definitions
Provides pre-defined patterns for common risks like credential leakage and destructive commands
Supports event-based triggers for bash commands, file modifications, and session stops
Facilitates the creation of custom warning messages with markdown formatting

Use Cases

Enforcing code quality by flagging debug statements like 'console.log' or 'debugger' before commits
Preventing the execution of dangerous shell commands like 'rm -rf' or privilege escalations
Implementing completion checklists that prompt the agent to run tests before stopping a task
