How do I temporarily turn off a rule?

You can simply set 'enabled: false' in the rule's frontmatter to deactivate it without having to delete the file entirely.

What types of events can I monitor with this skill?

You can monitor bash commands, file edits (Edit/Write tools), the agent stopping (completion checks), and user prompts.

Can I check for multiple conditions in one rule?

Yes, Hookify supports an advanced format where you can define multiple fields, operators (like regex_match, contains, or equals), and patterns that must all match for the rule to trigger.

What is a Hookify rule in Claude Code?

A Hookify rule is a markdown file with YAML frontmatter that defines specific patterns to watch for in your development environment, allowing Claude to warn or block actions when those patterns match.

Where should I store my Hookify rules?

All rules should be stored in the .claude/ directory within your project root using the naming convention .claude/hookify.{rule-name}.local.md.

Security & Testing

Enables Claude to create and manage Hookify rules for automated project governance, safety checks, and coding standards.

The Rule Identifier skill provides Claude with the specialized knowledge required to write and refine Hookify rules—custom markdown files that monitor environment events like bash commands and file edits. It empowers developers to enforce project-specific best practices, prevent dangerous operations such as accidental file deletions, and block problematic code patterns like production console logs by defining specific triggers, regex patterns, and automated warning messages. This skill is essential for teams looking to build automated guardrails directly into their Claude Code workflow.
