Where should Hookify rules be stored?

Rules must be stored in the project's .claude/ directory using the naming convention .claude/hookify.{rule-name}.local.md.

Can Hookify rules prevent code from being written?

Yes, by setting the 'action' field to 'block' and targeting 'file' events, you can prevent Claude from writing specific code patterns or editing sensitive files.

What types of events can Hookify monitor?

Hookify can trigger on bash commands (bash), file modifications (file), session completions (stop), and user inputs (prompt).

Do I need to restart my session for rules to take effect?

No, Hookify rules are read dynamically and take effect on the very next tool use once the rule file is created or updated.

What is a Hookify rule in Claude Code?

A Hookify rule is a specialized markdown file with YAML frontmatter that tells Claude to watch for specific patterns and display messages or block actions when those patterns are detected.
