How do I create a new rule?

Create a markdown file named .claude/hookify.{name}.local.md with YAML frontmatter defining the name, event, and pattern, followed by the message you want Claude to see.

What is a Hookify rule in Claude Code?

A Hookify rule is a configuration file stored in the .claude/ directory that tells Claude to watch for specific patterns in commands or code and respond with guidance or restrictions.

What types of events can Hookify rules monitor?

Hookify can trigger on 'bash' commands, 'file' edits, 'stop' events (when the agent finishes), and 'prompt' events (user inputs).

Can I prevent Claude from running dangerous commands?

Yes, by setting an event to 'bash' and the action to 'block' in your Hookify rule, you can stop Claude from executing specific command patterns like 'rm -rf'.

Does Hookify support complex logic?

Yes, it supports an advanced format with multiple conditions, allowing you to check file paths, new text, and old text simultaneously using various operators.

Productivity & Workflow

Configures and manages custom guardrails and automation rules for Claude Code to monitor bash commands, file edits, and developer workflows.

The Hookify Rule Identifier skill provides a comprehensive framework for defining project-specific guardrails and automated feedback loops within Claude Code. By creating markdown files with YAML frontmatter, users can establish triggers that monitor bash commands, file modifications, and session completions using sophisticated regex patterns and multi-condition logic. This skill is essential for enforcing coding standards, preventing the execution of dangerous terminal commands, and ensuring that best practices—like removing debug logs or securing API keys—are followed consistently throughout the development process.
