What are Claude Code hooks?

Hooks are event-driven triggers that execute specific scripts or commands at 8 key lifecycle points, such as tool usage, session start, or user prompt submission.

How do I manage global versus project-specific hooks?

Global hooks are stored in ~/.claude/hooks/ for all projects, while project-specific hooks reside in the .claude/hooks/ directory of your repository.

What is the impact of using hooks on manual review time?

By automating style enforcement and validation, organizations have reported up to a 92% reduction in manual code style review time.

Can I use hooks-manager for security enforcement?

Yes, it allows you to create PreToolUse hooks that scan and block dangerous terminal commands or unauthorized file access before the AI executes them.

Does this support automatic code formatting?

Absolutely. You can configure PostToolUse hooks to trigger formatters like Prettier, Black, or ESLint immediately after the AI writes or edits a file.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates Claude Code workflows through event-driven lifecycle hooks for formatting, security, and observability.

About

The hooks-manager skill empowers developers to extend Claude Code by implementing custom logic at eight critical lifecycle points, ranging from session initialization to tool execution. By configuring structured JSON hooks, users can enforce security gates, automate code formatting (using tools like Prettier or Black), and integrate real-time observability telemetry. This skill is essential for teams looking to standardize coding practices, prevent dangerous terminal commands, and reduce manual review time through sophisticated background automation.
