Do I need to restart Claude to apply new rules?

No, rules are read dynamically and changes take effect immediately on the next tool execution.

What event types are supported?

Hookify supports events for bash (commands), file (edits/writes), stop (before completion), and prompt (user input) events.

Can Hookify rules block specific actions?

Yes, by setting the action field to 'block' in the YAML frontmatter, you can prevent operations from proceeding if they match a dangerous or unwanted pattern.

Where should I store Hookify rules?

Rules should be stored in the .claude/ directory of your project root, using the naming convention .claude/hookify.{rule-name}.local.md.

What is a Hookify rule?

A Hookify rule is a markdown file with YAML frontmatter that defines specific patterns for Claude to monitor. When a pattern matches a bash command or file edit, Claude displays a predefined message or takes action.

开发者工具

Provides comprehensive guidance and syntax patterns for creating Hookify rules to automate and safeguard Claude's development behavior.

关于

The Rule Identifier skill empowers developers to define custom guardrails and automation triggers for Claude through the Hookify system. By utilizing YAML frontmatter and regex patterns, users can configure Claude to watch for specific bash commands, file edits, or terminal events to provide immediate feedback, warnings, or block dangerous operations. This skill is essential for maintaining code quality, enforcing project standards, and preventing common errors like accidental file deletions or committing sensitive credentials to version control.
