What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you create Claude Code hooks to automate events within Claude Code workflows, reducing manual setup time and repetitive configuration.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Define hook events (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, UserPromptSubmit, SessionStart, SessionEnd, Stop) and their behavior.
• Configure hook scripts and hook wiring in settings.json using templates from the templates/ directory.
• Automate common workflows such as logging, context injection, and validation at key moments to speed up development.

Quick Start

1. Select a hook event to automate (e.g., PreToolUse or SessionStart).
2. Create or customize a hook script in templates/ and reference it in your settings.json.
3. Add the hook configuration to .claude/settings.json.
4. Test the hook with a sample JSON input, e.g. echo '{"hook_event_name":"PreToolUse","tool_name":"Write"}' | bash ".claude/hooks/my-hook.sh"
