Writing Hookify Rules

To create hookify rules for Claude Code, you write markdown files with correct YAML frontmatter to configure event triggers, regex patterns, and safety reminders that guide AI-assisted development workflows.

Hookify rules are used to prevent mistakes, enforce developer workflows, and provide safety guidance during AI-assisted development tasks by triggering warnings or reminders for specific events like dangerous bash commands.

You configure regex patterns and events in hookify YAML frontmatter by defining markdown-based rules that specify trigger conditions for bash commands, file edits, prompts, and completion checks to control agent behavior.

Yes, writing hookify rules requires knowledge of hookify markdown formats, YAML frontmatter fields, and rule organization conventions to correctly structure event configurations and pattern matching for Claude Code tasks.

Yes, you can set up a hookify rule to warn when sensitive files are edited by defining a file edit event trigger and regex pattern in your markdown rule that detects unauthorized modifications and issues a safety reminder.

The best way to enforce running tests before an AI agent finishes work is to create a hookify rule with a completion check event trigger that reminds the agent to execute tests before finalizing the development task.
