Can I limit a hook to specific file types?

Yes, the skill allows you to define filePattern filters (e.g., *.ts or **/*.tsx) so commands only execute when relevant files are modified.

What events can I trigger hooks on?

You can trigger hooks on user-prompt-submit, tool-call (like Write, Edit, or Bash), session-start, and session-end events.

Is it safe to run shell commands via hooks?

While powerful, you should always review hook commands carefully, avoid executing untrusted code, and use specific filters to ensure commands only run when intended.

Where are the hook configurations stored?

Hooks are stored in JSON files, either globally at ~/.claude/skills/super-claude/plugins/meta/hooks/hooks.json or locally within a project's .claude/hooks/ directory.

Do hooks support variables like file paths?

Yes, you can use variables like $FILE (current file), $TOOL (active tool), and $PROJECT (project root) within your shell commands for dynamic execution.
