What is a Hookify rule in Claude Code?

Hookify rules are markdown files stored in your project's .claude directory that define specific patterns to watch for and display messages when those patterns are matched during tool use.

Can Hookify rules block dangerous terminal commands?

Yes, by setting the event to 'bash' and the action to 'block', you can prevent Claude from executing high-risk commands like 'rm -rf' or unauthorized privilege escalations.

Where should I store my Hookify rule files?

Rules should be saved in the .claude/ directory with the naming convention 'hookify.{rule-name}.local.md' to be properly recognized by the system.

How do I apply a Hookify rule to only specific file types?

You can use the advanced conditions format with the 'file_path' field and a 'regex_match' operator to target specific extensions like .tsx or .py.

What regex flavor does the Hookify rule syntax use?

Hookify rules utilize Python-flavored regular expressions for both simple patterns and advanced field matching.

安全与测试

Guides the creation and configuration of custom Hookify guardrails to enforce coding standards and safety protocols in Claude Code.

关于

The Writing Hookify Rules skill enables Claude to generate and manage project-specific guardrails through markdown-based rule files. By leveraging YAML frontmatter and regex patterns, this skill allows developers to intercept bash commands, monitor file edits, and enforce workflow checklists. It is particularly useful for teams looking to automate safety warnings for dangerous operations, prevent the accidental commit of debug logs, and ensure that 'Definition of Done' criteria are met before a task is finalized.
