Can I block specific bash commands?

Yes, by using the bash event type and defining a regex pattern for the command, you can set the rule action to block to prevent the operation from executing.

How do I test a new rule?

Rules are read dynamically by Claude. Simply save your .local.md file and the rule will take effect immediately upon the next relevant tool use or command.

Where are Hookify rule files stored?

Rules are stored in the .claude/ directory within your project root, using the naming convention .claude/hookify.{rule-name}.local.md.

Do Hookify rules support complex logic?

Yes, the advanced format allows for multiple conditions using fields like file_path, new_text, and command, combined with operators like regex_match, contains, and equals.

What are Hookify rules?

Hookify rules are markdown files with YAML frontmatter that define specific patterns to watch for during a Claude session, allowing for automated warnings or blocks when those patterns are matched.

Productivity & Workflow

Simplifies the creation and configuration of Hookify rules to monitor and control Claude's behavior during development tasks.

About

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for authoring Hookify rules, enabling developers to intercept Claude's actions such as bash commands, file modifications, and session completions. By defining specific patterns and conditions in markdown files, users can enforce safety protocols, prevent dangerous commands, and ensure coding standards are met through automated warnings or intervention. It covers everything from basic YAML frontmatter structure to advanced multi-condition regex matching for sophisticated workflow automation.
