README

Claude Code Hooks Cookbook

Copy-paste [Claude Code](https://code.claude.com) hooks that actually do something useful — auto-format on edit, block dangerous commands, notify you when a run finishes, gate on tests, and cut permission prompts. Every recipe is real, dependency-free, and current with the latest hook schema.

Hooks are shell commands Claude Code runs **automatically** at points in its loop — before a tool runs, after a file is edited, when a session starts, when the turn ends. They're how you turn "an agent that asks nicely" into "an agent that physically can't `rm -rf` your repo and always leaves the code formatted." Most examples online are stale; this repo tracks the current schema (the `if:` conditions, `permissionDecision`, `updatedInput`, and the full event list).

Quickstart

# drop the scripts into your project
git clone https://github.com/rongtnt/claude-code-hooks-cookbook /tmp/cc-hooks
mkdir -p .claude/hooks && cp /tmp/cc-hooks/hooks/* .claude/hooks/ && chmod +x .claude/hooks/*

Then add the recipes you want to `.claude/settings.json` (commit it to share with your team) or `~/.claude/settings.json` (all projects, just you). Restart Claude Code or run `/hooks` to reload. That's it.
