SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires claude-code-plugin-framework, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a comprehensive solution for creating and implementing Claude Code plugin hooks, automating event-driven workflows, and managing complex automation tasks with advanced configurations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Event-Driven Automation: Execute scripts based on Claude Code events like PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, SessionStart, etc.
  • Advanced Prompt-Based Hooks: Use LLM-driven decision making for context-aware validation and dynamic workflows.
  • Command Hooks: Execute bash commands for deterministic checks, file operations, and external tool integrations.
  • Plugin and Settings Configuration: Manage hook configurations in plugin hooks.json and user settings.json.
  • Use Case: Develop a Claude Code plugin that performs security checks on code submissions by using a combination of prompt-based hooks for LLM-driven analysis and command hooks for quick file system checks.

Quick Start

Use the hook-development skill to set up a PreToolUse hook that checks for the presence of sensitive files before any code is executed. Simply create a new hook configuration file in your plugin's hooks/ directory and specify the matcher and hook type.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate workflows using Claude Code hooks for event-driven triggers?▼

Claude Code hooks automate event-driven workflows by executing scripts based on events like PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, and SessionStart. You can configure both prompt-based hooks for LLM-driven analysis and command hooks for deterministic file operations.

What is the difference between prompt-based and command hooks in Claude Code plugins?▼

Prompt-based hooks use LLM-driven decision making for context-aware validation and dynamic workflows, while command hooks execute bash commands for deterministic checks, file operations, and external tool integrations within your Claude Code plugin.

How to configure a PreToolUse hook in a Claude Code plugin to check for sensitive files?▼

To configure a PreToolUse hook, create a new hook configuration file in your plugin's hooks/ directory and specify the matcher and hook type. You can manage these hook configurations within your plugin's hooks.json file or user settings.json.

Does Claude Code hook development require a specific plugin framework or environment setup?▼

Yes, developing Claude Code hooks requires the Claude Code plugin framework and its associated environment setup. You must configure JSON-based settings for hook execution, timeout settings, and input validation to ensure proper event-driven automation.

Can I use Claude Code hooks to perform automated security checks on code submissions?▼

Yes, you can develop a Claude Code plugin that performs security checks on code submissions by combining prompt-based hooks for LLM-driven analysis with command hooks for quick file system checks before code is executed.

What are the limitations when managing timeout settings and input validation for Claude Code hooks?▼

Claude Code hooks rely on JSON-based configurations for execution, timeout settings, and input validation. Complex event-driven workflows require careful configuration management across plugin hooks.json and user settings.json to avoid execution failures.
