Can I block specific commands from running?

Yes, by setting the `action` field to `block` in the YAML frontmatter, you can prevent Claude from executing commands that match your specified pattern.

What events can trigger a Hookify rule?

Rules can be triggered by bash commands, file operations (Edit/Write/MultiEdit), when the agent wants to stop, or when a user submits a prompt.

How do I test my regex patterns for Hookify?

You can test patterns locally using Python's re module or online tools like regex101.com using the Python flavor.

Where should I store Hookify rules?

Hookify rules are stored in the `.claude/` directory of your project root using the naming convention `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 Code to watch for, providing warnings or blocking actions when matches occur.
