SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables developers to integrate event-driven functionality into their plugins by defining and managing hooks that trigger specific actions based on predefined events.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Event-Driven Actions: Define custom actions that execute automatically when specific events occur within the Claude environment (e.g., SessionStart, PreToolUse).
  • Configuration Management: Learn how to configure hooks using hooks.json to specify event triggers, matching patterns, and command executions.
  • Script Integration: Understand how to write Python scripts that handle hook events and integrate them into the plugin's execution flow.
  • Use Case: Automatically log detailed information about tool usage before each tool is executed by configuring a PreToolUse hook to run a custom logging script.

Quick Start

Configure a SessionStart hook to execute a Python script located at ./scripts/on_session_start.py.

Frequently Asked Questions about plugin-hook-development

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add event-driven hooks to trigger actions on session start and end?▼

Event-driven hooks trigger custom actions by configuring `hooks.json` with specific lifecycle events like `SessionStart` and `SessionEnd`, mapping them to Python scripts for reactive plugin behavior. You define matching patterns and command executions tied to those event types.

What is the best way to configure a PreToolUse hook for logging tool usage?▼

Configuring a `PreToolUse` hook for logging requires defining the event trigger and matching pattern in `hooks.json`, then pointing the command execution to a custom Python script. This script handles the event and records detailed tool usage information before execution.

How does Python script integration work with plugin hook configurations?▼

Python script integration works by mapping event triggers defined in `hooks.json` to executable Python files. The scripts handle hook events and integrate into the plugin execution flow, allowing custom command executions tied to specific event patterns like `PreToolUse`.

Can I use custom matching patterns to trigger specific hook commands?▼

Yes, you can use custom matching patterns to trigger specific hook commands. Configuration management through `hooks.json` allows you to specify event triggers, define matching patterns, and set command executions for precise reactive plugin behavior.

Do I need any external dependencies to develop event-driven plugin hooks?▼

No external dependencies are required to develop event-driven plugin hooks. The Skill provides references and scripts to facilitate hook development using `hooks.json` configuration and Python script integration without additional libraries.
