Does Hookify support multiple conditions for a single rule?

Yes, Hookify allows an 'advanced format' where you can define multiple conditions using fields like file_path, new_text, and operators like regex_match or contains.

What is a Hookify rule?

A Hookify rule is a markdown file with YAML frontmatter that instructs Claude to watch for specific patterns and display a message or take action when those patterns are matched during tasks.

What trigger events are supported by Hookify?

Hookify supports events for 'bash' (command line tools), 'file' (editing/writing files), 'stop' (when the agent finishes), and 'prompt' (user submissions).

Can Hookify prevent Claude from running specific commands?

Yes, by setting the 'action' field to 'block' in the rule's frontmatter, you can prevent Claude from executing a command or continuing a session when a pattern is matched.

Where should Hookify rules be stored?

Rules are stored in the project root under the `.claude/` directory, following the naming convention `hookify.{rule-name}.local.md`.
