Can these rules stop Claude from deleting files?

Yes, by setting the 'action' field to 'block' and targeting 'bash' events with patterns like 'rm -rf', you can prevent Claude from executing destructive commands.

What is a Hookify rule in Claude Code?

A Hookify rule is a markdown file stored in the .claude/ directory that uses YAML frontmatter to define specific patterns (regex) for Claude to watch during bash commands or file edits.

How do I trigger a rule when a specific file type is edited?

You use the 'file' event and define a condition where the 'file_path' field matches a regex pattern for your extension, such as '\.tsx$' for TypeScript React files.

Where should I store my Hookify rule files?

Rules must be placed in the .claude/ directory of your project root and follow the naming convention: hookify.{rule-name}.local.md.

Developer Tools

Configures project guardrails and automated monitors by generating precise Hookify rules for Claude Code environments.

The Hookify Rule Architect skill empowers Claude to define and manage project-specific governance rules that monitor bash commands, file edits, and session events. By utilizing YAML frontmatter and regex patterns, it allows teams to implement automated warnings for dangerous operations (like destructive shell commands), prevent the commit of debug code or secrets, and enforce completion checklists. It is an essential utility for developers looking to customize Claude's behavior and ensure project-wide adherence to security and coding standards.
