Hook Creator

Creates production-quality CC hooks (bash + JS/mjs): correct msg routing, JSON schemas, fail-safe design.

Ref ver: 2.1.233 | 31 HEs | 5 hook types (command, http, mcp_tool, prompt, agent)

Scope guard

Size the task before starting. Exceeds one bounded unit (one deliverable, ~5 files, ~10 steps) or spans several independent deliverables -- STOP, do not start. Return a split proposal: 2-N bounded subtasks, each with scope and a suggested owner. Mid-flight the same: stop at the next clean boundary and report done / remaining / how to split. An hour of unsupervised work is a failure even when it succeeds. Brief missing GOAL, SCOPE, CONTEXT (what is already done), CONSUMER (who uses the result) or acceptance -- state your assumption explicitly in the report, or ask once. Never invent scope. Deliver for the CONSUMER, not the literal wording: the result must be usable as-is by whoever takes it next, with the whole briefed scope covered.

Checkpointing

maxTurns: 80 = anti-loop stop, != budget. On hit the run aborts and the final report is lost; hook files + settings edits survive. After each hook is written and test-fired, append its path, event, exit-code result to .claude/reports/YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS_hook-creator/report.md, != hold to the end. On resume: read that file first, continue from the last hook listed.

Scope guard bounds what you take on; this bounds what survives an abort.

Session Lifecycle

Setup (--init-only/-p --init/--maintenance only) -> InstructionsLoaded -> SS
UserPromptSubmit | UserPromptExpansion (/command path) -> PR -> PTU -> [Tool]
  -> POT/PostToolUseFailure -> PermissionDenied (auto-mode denial) -> PostToolBatch (once per batch)
  -> MD -> Notification -> Stop -> StopFailure -> PreCompact -> PCD -> SessionEnd
Background: CwdChanged, FileChanged, ConfigChange, DirectoryAdded, WorktreeCreate/Remove
Subagent: PTU:Agent -> TaskCreated -> SubagentStart -> [work] -> SubagentStop -> POT:Agent
Teams: TeammateIdle (exit 0=stop, 1=continue) | TaskCompleted (exit 0=accept, 1=redo)

Quick Start

Goal	Event	Output
Inject context	PTU	AC
Block tool	PTU	permissionDecision:"deny"
Modify input	PTU	UI
Block stop	Stop	decision:"block" + reason
Session init	SS	AC
Auto-allow permission	PR	decision:{behavior:"allow"}
Post-tool feedback	POT	AC
Block after the tool ran	POT	decision:"block" + reason
Replace what Claude sees	POT	updatedToolOutput
Block a /command	UserPromptExpansion	decision:"block" + reason
Veto compaction	PreCompact	exit 2 or decision:"block"
Control teammates	TeammateIdle	{continue:false, stopReason:"..."}
React to cfg/file change	ConfigChange, FileChanged	exit code or JSON

1. Message Routing Matrix

Consult BEFORE choosing output -- wrong channel = silently ignored (no error). UI=updatedInput.

Event	AC (Claude sees)	decision/reason	IGNORED (do not use)
SS	YES, <system-reminder>, stable	--	UI
UserPromptSubmit	YES, appended; cannot rewrite prompt	decision:"block" -> UI only, Claude does NOT see reason	UI -- IGNORED (root cause of the forced-eval.mjs bug: emitted UI.prompt here, silently dropped)
PTU	YES, stable	permissionDecision: allow/deny/ask/defer; permissionDecisionReason on deny; "defer" pauses headless, resume -p --resume (v2.1.89+)	updatedToolOutput
POT	YES, stable (#15345)	AFTER THE FACT -- runs after the tool, cannot prevent the call: decision:"block"+reason appends the reason next to the tool result; updatedToolOutput replaces what Claude sees. Side effects stand	--
PostToolUseFailure	YES, limited data	--	--
PostToolBatch	YES, injected once before the next model call	decision:"block" / continue:false stops the agentic loop	UI
SubagentStart	YES, into SA (not parent)	--	--
Notification	YES, stable	--	--
Stop	YES, feedback + keeps turn going, not hook-error label (v2.1.163+); or decision:"block"+reason -> Claude continues, sees reason	--	AC for blocking (use decision instead)
SubagentStop	same as Stop, scoped to SA	--	same
PreCompact	N/A, not supported	BLOCKING: exit 2 or decision:"block" blocks compaction	systemMessage, continue -- both discarded
PostCompact	N/A, not supported	--	systemMessage, continue -- both discarded
SessionEnd	N/A, not supported	--	-- (informational only)
Setup	YES, AC (plain stdout -> debug log only)	-- cannot block, any exit code continues	--
UserPromptExpansion	YES, alongside the expanded prompt	decision:"block" prevents the command from expanding; reason -> USER	--
DirectoryAdded	via systemMessage on the NEXT turn (matcher slash_command only)	-- cannot block, the dir is already added	continue -- discarded
PR	N/A	decision.behavior: allow|deny only (no ask -- that's PTU permissionDecision); decision.message on deny. exit 2 is NOT honored -- deny only through the decision object	exit 2
PermissionDenied	via hookSpecificOutput only	{"hookSpecificOutput":{"hookEventName":"PermissionDenied","retry":true}} -> model may retry; auto-mode denials only (v2.1.89+)	exit code, stderr, top-level retry
TeammateIdle, TaskCompleted, TaskCreated	N/A	JSON {continue, stopReason} (v2.1.52+)	--

stdout (exit 0, JSON)

Event	Claude sees?
SS, UserPromptSubmit, PTU	YES -- parsed, context injected
All others	NO -- verbose mode only (Ctrl+O)

systemMessage

Goes to user UI only -- Claude does NOT see it. Exception: async hooks deliver on next turn.

stderr (exit 2)

Type	Claude sees?	Events
Blocking (exit 2 stops the action)	YES	PTU, UserPromptSubmit, UserPromptExpansion, Stop, SubagentStop, TeammateIdle, TaskCreated, TaskCompleted, ConfigChange (except policy_settings), PostToolBatch, PreCompact, Elicitation, ElicitationResult, WorktreeCreate (ANY non-zero aborts)
Non-blocking, stderr still reaches Claude	YES	POT, PostToolUseFailure
Non-blocking	NO (UI/debug log only)	SS, Setup, SubagentStart, PCD, Notification, SessionEnd, InstructionsLoaded, CwdChanged, FileChanged, DirectoryAdded (debug log), WorktreeRemove, MD
exit 2 IGNORED entirely	NO	PR (use decision), PermissionDenied (use hookSpecificOutput.retry), StopFailure (except terminalSequence)

UI (PTU only)

Silently modifies tool params. Claude unaware of change. UI also rewrites on PR. UI is single-writer/last-wins -- every hook on the event sees the same original input, runner keeps only the last edit -- reserve for ONE owning hook; for SA prompt injection prefer SubagentStart AC instead (accumulates across hooks, no clobbering).

2. All 31 Hook Events

MD (v2.1.152): transforms/hides assistant message text at display layer only; non-blocking. NOT a hooks.json event: post-session lifecycle hook (v2.1.169) = self-hosted runner hook, runs after session ends + before workspace deleted. Configure on runner, not in hooks.json.

#	Event	Blocking?	Matcher	Key stdin fields	Ver
1	SS	No	source: startup,resume,clear,compact,fork	source,model,agent_type,session_title	fork 2.1.214

16	ConfigChange	Yes	source: user_settings,project_settings,local_settings,policy_settings,skills	source,file_path	2.1.49

19	InstructionsLoaded	No	load_reason: session_start,nested_traversal,path_glob_match,include,compact	file_path,memory_type,load_reason,globs,trigger_file_path,parent_file_path	2.1.69
20	Elicitation	Yes	MCP server name	MCP-specific fields	2.1.76
21	ElicitationResult	Yes	MCP server name	MCP-specific fields	2.1.76
22	StopFailure	No -- output + exit code IGNORED except terminalSequence	error type (10): rate_limit,overloaded,authentication_failed,oauth_org_not_allowed,billing_error,invalid_request,model_not_found,server_error,max_output_tokens,unknown	error,error_details,last_assistant_message	2.1.78

24	FileChanged	No	filename (basename)	file_path	2.1.83
25	TaskCreated	Yes	No	task_id,task_subject,task_description,teammate_name,team_name	2.1.84
26	PermissionDenied	No -- exit code + stderr IGNORED; hookSpecificOutput.retry only	tool name regex (same values as PTU)	tool_name,tool_input,tool_use_id,reason	2.1.89
27	MD	No	No	assistant message text	2.1.152
28	Setup	No -- any exit code continues	trigger: init,maintenance	trigger	--
29	UserPromptExpansion	Yes (decision:"block" / exit 2) -- blocks the expansion	command name (command_name)	expansion_type,command_name,command_args,command_source,prompt	--
30	PostToolBatch	Yes -- stops the agentic loop before the next model call	None (unsupported)	tool_calls[] = {tool_name,tool_input,tool_use_id,tool_response}	--
31	DirectoryAdded	No -- fires AFTER the add, continue discarded	source: slash_command,register_repo_root	directory,source	2.1.219

Setup fires ONLY on claude --init-only / -p --init / -p --maintenance, never on normal startup -- use SS for per-session init. Setup supports command + mcp_tool types only, and has CLAUDE_ENV_FILE. UserPromptExpansion covers the path PTU cannot: a PTU hook on the Skill tool never fires when the user types /skillname directly. PostToolBatch tool_response is the serialized tool_result content the model sees; POT's tool_response is the tool's structured Output object ({filePath,success} for Write). Do NOT reuse a POT parser here. DirectoryAdded does not fire for --add-dir at startup (SS covers those). Its systemMessage reaches Claude on the next turn under slash_command, and the debug log only under register_repo_root.

Common stdin (ALL events)

{"session_id":"abc123","transcript_path":"/path/to/transcript","cwd":"/project","permission_mode":"default","hook_event_name":"PreToolUse","agent_id":"uuid (SAs only, v2.1.69+)","agent_type":"Explore|Plan|custom (SAs + --agent, v2.1.69+)"}

Exit codes

Code	Meaning	stdout	stderr
0	Success	parsed as JSON; TeammateIdle/TaskCompleted: teammate terminates	verbose mode
1	Error (non-fatal)	TeammateIdle/TaskCompleted: teammate continues; others: error	verbose mode
2	Critical error	IGNORED	-> Claude (blocking) or user (non-blocking)

Event	exit 0	exit 1	exit 2
PTU	JSON processed	tool call cancelled	stderr -> Claude
Stop	JSON processed	ignored	stderr -> Claude
SubagentStop	JSON processed	ignored	stderr -> Claude
SS	JSON processed	warning in UI	stderr -> UI
PreCompact	JSON processed	compact continues	blocks compaction, stderr -> UI on manual /compact
TeammateIdle	teammate terminates	teammate continues	stderr -> UI
TaskCompleted	task accepted	task re-assigned	stderr -> UI
POT	JSON processed	warning	stderr -> Claude; tool already ran
PR	JSON decision processed	non-blocking error	IGNORED -- permission flow proceeds unchanged
PermissionDenied	hookSpecificOutput.retry processed	ignored	IGNORED -- the denial already happened
Setup	JSON processed	JSON honored if schema-valid, else UI notice	stderr -> UI notice; session continues
UserPromptExpansion	JSON processed	non-blocking error	blocks the expansion, stderr -> user as reason
PostToolBatch	JSON processed	non-blocking error	stops the agentic loop, stderr -> Claude
DirectoryAdded	JSON processed (continue dropped)	debug log	stderr -> debug log; the dir is already added
WorktreeCreate	JSON processed	creation FAILS	creation FAILS (ANY non-zero)
http/mcp_tool type (any event)	N/A -- no OS exit code	N/A	N/A

Sample, not exhaustive (31 events total). Exit 1 is a NON-blocking error almost everywhere -- to enforce a policy use exit 2 or JSON, never exit 1. Sole exception: WorktreeCreate, where any non-zero exit aborts. http/mcp_tool convey success/failure via response JSON (decision/AC) or HTTP/tool-call failure, not exit code; 2xx + empty body = pass-through, 2xx + non-JSON body = non-blocking error.

3. Hook Types

Type	Description	Timeout	Use case
command	shell/node script, JSON via stdin/stdout	600s	custom logic, file I/O, external tools
http	POSTs the FULL hook JSON payload to a URL, blocks for the response, parses a 2xx JSON body as hook output (decision / AC). Same payload as command stdin -- no field is renamed (v2.1.63+)	600s	external API/webhook, remote delegation
mcp_tool	invokes a tool on an already-configured MCP server and AWAITS it synchronously; returned text content parsed exactly like a command hook's stdout JSON (can return decision:block or hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext)	600s	reuse an MCP tool as gate/injector
prompt	inline-LLM allow/block GATE: evaluates the prompt, decides allow vs block, surfaces a reason on block. Its NL text is NOT added to the model's context	30s	quick validation / policy gate
agent	LLM-agent allow/block GATE, same semantics as prompt (evaluate condition -> allow or block+reason). NOT a general subagent whose output is injected. Experimental	60s	complex condition gate

prompt/agent = gates (allow/block only). command/http/mcp_tool = can both gate AND inject context.

mcp_tool config fields

Field	Req	Description
server	yes	name of a configured MCP server. A PLUGIN-bundled server takes the scoped form plugin:<plugin-name>:<server-name> -- the bare key never resolves
tool	yes	tool name to invoke
input	no	args object; string values support ${...} interpolation from hook input JSON (e.g. "${tool_input.file_path}")
if,timeout,statusMessage,once	no	same as other types

Common fields (ALL five types)

Field	Req	Description
type	yes	"command","http","mcp_tool","prompt","agent"
if	no	ONE permission rule (v2.1.85+): "Bash(git *)","Edit(*.ts)". No &&/||/list -- one rule per handler. Evaluated ONLY on PTU, POT, PostToolUseFailure, PR, PermissionDenied; on any other event a hook with if set NEVER runs. Best-effort/fails open -- !=a hard gate
timeout	no	seconds before cancellation. DEF 600 (command/http/mcp_tool), 30 (prompt), 60 (agent). UserPromptSubmit lowers the 600 to 30, MessageDisplay to 10; SessionEnd hooks share a 1.5 s budget (raised to your timeout, max 60 s)
statusMessage	no	spinner text while the hook runs
once	no	true = run once per session then de-register. Honored ONLY in skill frontmatter; ignored in settings files and agent frontmatter

command-only fields

Field	Req	Description
command	yes	shell command; with args, the executable to spawn directly
args	no	argument vector -> exec form: command resolves on PATH and spawns directly, NO shell. Each element is one argument verbatim -- no quoting, no $/backtick expansion. Use whenever the hook references a path placeholder
async	no	true = fire-and-forget, non-blocking (see sec.10)
asyncRewake	no	true = background + wakes Claude on exit code 2; implies async. The hook's stderr (or stdout when stderr is empty) is shown to Claude as a system reminder -- the only way a background hook reports a late failure
shell	no	"bash" or "powershell" for shell form. IGNORED when args is set

async/asyncRewake/shell/args are command-only -- setting them on http/mcp_tool/prompt/agent does nothing.

Exec form (args present) -- the safe way to pass a placeholder path:

{"type":"command","command":"node","args":["${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/format.js","--fix"]}

Shell form (args absent) -- needs its own quoting, use only for pipes/&&/globs:

{"type":"command","command":"node \"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}\"/scripts/format.js --fix"}

Both forms export CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR, CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT, CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA into the spawned process.

BREAKING (v2.1.207): a shell-form PLUGIN hook whose command references ${user_config.*} now FAILS instead of running. Two fixes: set args to switch the handler to exec form (where ${user_config.*} still substitutes), or read $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_OPTION_<KEY> from the environment.

HTTP hook example (v2.1.63+):

{"type":"http","url":"http://localhost:8080/hooks/pre-tool-use","timeout":30,"headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer $MY_TOKEN"},"allowedEnvVars":["MY_TOKEN"]}

4. Configuration Locations

Precedence (HIGHEST to lowest): **Managed/enterprise policy > CLI args > .claude/settings.local.json

.claude/settings.json > ~/.claude/settings.json**. Managed can suppress every other scope (see settings keys below). Plugin hooks/hooks.json and agent/skill frontmatter merge additively on top, scoped to when their component is active -- not part of the override chain.

#	Location	Scope	Notes
1	managed/enterprise policy	org	HIGHEST -- MDM/admin, can gate all lower scopes
2	CLI args	session	--
3	.claude/settings.local.json	project (gitignored)	--
4	.claude/settings.json	project (committable)	team-shared
5	~/.claude/settings.json	global	all your projects; not shareable
6	plugin hooks/hooks.json	plugin-scoped	additive (merged, not overridden)
7	skill frontmatter YAML	rest of the session once invoked	registers even in an untrusted folder under -p; once: true for single-fire
8	subagent frontmatter YAML	while that SA runs	requires the workspace-trust dialog for the folder the agent file came from (v2.1.218+); a -p session does NOT count as accepting it. Stop is auto-converted to SubagentStop

There is no ~/.claude/settings.local.json -- Claude Code never reads that path.

Merge rule: hooks from diff sources merged (not overridden). For a single event, ALL registered hooks execute in parallel; the same handler defined in two settings files runs once, but a plugin's or skill's copy stays separate. All hook events are supported in skill and subagent frontmatter.

Workspace trust (settings-file hooks)

Session	Behaviour
interactive	every settings file, incl. ~/.claude/settings.json, is held back until you accept the trust dialog for the folder or a parent
-p / SDK	never shows the dialog, treats the folder as trusted -- repo-committed .claude/settings.json hooks RUN in a folder you never trusted. Mitigate with --bare or --settings '{"disableAllHooks":true}'

Live / reload / restart

Change	Takes effect
a skill's SKILL.md body	immediately, same session
plugin hooks/, .mcp.json, agents/, output-styles/	/reload-plugins or restart
plugin monitors	session restart only
settings-file hooks blocks	/clear or a new session

A plugin that updates mid-session keeps serving hooks from the PREVIOUS version's ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} until /reload-plugins.

Managed-only settings keys

Key	Effect
disableAllHooks	disables every hook regardless of source
allowManagedHooksOnly	only managed-policy hooks run; all lower-scope hooks ignored
allowedHttpHookUrls	allowlist of URLs http-type hooks may POST to

settings.json format

{"hooks":{"PreToolUse":[{"matcher":"Bash","hooks":[{"type":"command","command":"bash /path/to/hook.sh"}]}],"Stop":[{"hooks":[{"type":"command","command":"node /path/to/hook.mjs"}]}]}}

hooks.json format (plugin)

{"hooks":{"SessionStart":[{"matcher":"startup","hooks":[{"type":"command","command":"node $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/hooks/session-start.mjs"}]}]}}

Agent/Skill frontmatter YAML

hooks:
  PreToolUse:
    - matcher: "Bash"
      hooks:
        - type: command
          command: "./scripts/validate.sh"

Conditional if field (v2.1.85+)

Reduces hook overhead -- fires only when condition matches (permission rule syntax):

{"hooks":{"PreToolUse":[{"matcher":"Bash","if":"Bash(git *)","hooks":[{"type":"command","command":"bash validate-git.sh"}]}]}}

Format: ToolName(pattern) -- same syntax as permission rules.

BREAKING (v2.1.214): single-segment dir/** now matches only <cwd>/dir, not any-depth. Use **/dir/** for any-depth matching.

5. Environment Variables

Variable	Description	Available
$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR	project root; exported UNCONDITIONALLY into every hook child process (exec + shell form), and into stdio MCP / plugin LSP subprocesses. Empty in an interactive or Bash-tool shell -- that is expected, NOT evidence it is unset for hooks	all hooks
$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT	plugin install dir	plugin hooks
$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA	persistent per-plugin data dir, survives updates (v2.1.78+); ~/.claude/plugins/data/<plugin-id>/	plugin hooks
$CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE	"true" in remote env	all hooks
$CLAUDE_ENV_FILE	path for persistent env vars	SS, CwdChanged, FileChanged
$CLAUDE_CODE_SESSIONEND_HOOKS_TIMEOUT_MS	SessionEnd hooks timeout in ms (DEF 1500ms, v2.1.78+)	SessionEnd hooks
$CLAUDE_CODE_SUBPROCESS_ENV_SCRUB	1 = scrub Anthropic/cloud credentials from subprocess env (v2.1.83+)	all hooks
$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_OPTION_<KEY>	plugin userConfig values (v2.1.78+)	plugin hooks
CLAUDE_CODE_SAFE_MODE	1 = start CC with ALL customizations disabled (CLAUDE.md, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP); also --safe-mode flag; use for hook debug isolation (v2.1.169+)	startup
CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_BUNDLED_SKILLS	1 = hide bundled skills/workflows/built-in cmds; also disableBundledSkills setting (v2.1.169+)	startup
CLAUDE_EFFORT	reasoning-effort override propagated into hook env	v2.1.199+
CLAUDE_CODE_BRIDGE_SESSION_ID	bridge-session identifier	v2.1.199+

Sensitive-path prompt (2.1.233, verified in binary): a Write/Edit TOOL call under ~/.claude/** is classified sensitive and routed to a permission ASK -- not a block. Carve-outs under .claude/: skills, agents, commands, worktrees, scheduled_tasks.json. plugins/ is NOT carved out, so $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA writes ask. Mode behaviour: default/acceptEdits/plan -> prompt; bypassPermissions/--dangerously-skip-permissions -> auto-approved (CHANGELOG 2.1.126); headless -p without bypass -> FAILS ("tool requires user interaction; no prompt available in headless mode"). Consequence: $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA is a fully supported persistent WRITE target (official project-artifact skill Writes there), but only interactively or from a hook/Bash subprocess -- never from a Write/Edit tool call in an unattended run. For unattended state prefer ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/<subdir>/.

Canonical project-root resolution

Every generated hook and installer uses this ONE recipe. Order is fixed and never silent: env var -> git toplevel -> upward walk for .git/.claude -> PWD.

import { existsSync } from 'node:fs';
import { dirname, join, resolve } from 'node:path';

/** Project root: CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR -> upward walk for a root marker -> hook cwd. Never throws. */
export function projectRoot(hookCwd) {
  const env = process.env.CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR;
  if (env && existsSync(env)) return resolve(env);

  let dir = resolve(hookCwd || process.cwd());
  for (;;) {
    if (existsSync(join(dir, '.git')) || existsSync(join(dir, '.claude'))) return dir;
    const up = dirname(dir);
    if (up === dir) break;
    dir = up;
  }
  return resolve(hookCwd || process.cwd()); // last resort: never guess, never throw in a hook
}

# Project root: CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR -> git toplevel -> upward walk -> PWD.
claude_project_root() {
  if [ -n "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR" ] && [ -d "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR" ]; then
    printf '%s\n' "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR"; return 0
  fi
  if r=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null) && [ -n "$r" ]; then
    printf '%s\n' "$r"; return 0
  fi
  d=$PWD
  while [ "$d" != "/" ]; do
    if [ -d "$d/.git" ] || [ -d "$d/.claude" ]; then printf '%s\n' "$d"; return 0; fi
    d=$(dirname "$d")
  done
  printf '%s\n' "$PWD"; return 1   # nonzero: caller decides
}

ROOT=$(claude_project_root) || echo "WARN: no project root marker found; using $ROOT" >&2

Rule	Detail
both fail	a SCRIPT warns on stderr and continues with PWD; an INSTALLER about to WRITE aborts non-zero naming what it looked for. Never write to a guessed root
hook exit code	a hook NEVER exits non-zero because the root was ambiguous -- root failure stays fail-open
input.cwd	exactly one job: resolving RELATIVE paths inside tool_input. Never keys config lookup, state paths or gitignore edits -- cwd drifts mid-session (see CwdChanged), CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR does not
markers	.git OR .claude, in that order, never extended per-hook

6. Output Schemas

Single-field schemas (compact):

Event -- purpose	Schema
PTU -- allow w/ context	{"hookSpecificOutput":{"hookEventName":"PreToolUse","permissionDecision":"allow","additionalContext":"..."}}
PTU -- deny	{"hookSpecificOutput":{"hookEventName":"PreToolUse","permissionDecision":"deny","permissionDecisionReason":"..."}}
Stop -- block	{"decision":"block","reason":"Task not complete. Continue with phase 3."}
SubagentStop -- block	{"decision":"block","reason":"Review not finished. Check remaining files."}
SubagentStart -- inject into SA	{"hookSpecificOutput":{"hookEventName":"SubagentStart","additionalContext":"Context injected into SUBAGENT (not parent)"}}
UserPromptSubmit -- block	{"decision":"block","reason":"Reason shown to USER only (Claude does NOT see this)"}
POT -- feedback	{"hookSpecificOutput":{"hookEventName":"PostToolUse","additionalContext":"Post-tool feedback for Claude"}}
POT -- block (feedback next to the result)	{"decision":"block","reason":"Lint failed; fix before continuing."} -- top-level, NOT hookSpecificOutput
POT -- replace what Claude sees	{"hookSpecificOutput":{"hookEventName":"PostToolUse","updatedToolOutput":{"stdout":"[redacted]","stderr":"","interrupted":false,"isImage":false}}} -- value MUST match the tool's output shape or it is ignored
PostToolBatch -- inject once	{"hookSpecificOutput":{"hookEventName":"PostToolBatch","additionalContext":"..."}}; {"decision":"block","reason":"..."} stops the agentic loop
Setup -- context	{"hookSpecificOutput":{"hookEventName":"Setup","additionalContext":"Dependencies installed"}}
UserPromptExpansion -- block	{"decision":"block","reason":"Shown to the USER","hookSpecificOutput":{"hookEventName":"UserPromptExpansion","additionalContext":"..."}}
TeammateIdle/TaskCompleted/TaskCreated -- control (v2.1.52+)	{"continue":false,"stopReason":"Task limit reached."}
PermissionDenied -- retry (v2.1.89+)	{"hookSpecificOutput":{"hookEventName":"PermissionDenied","retry":true}} -- top-level retry is NOT read. Tells the model it MAY retry; does not reverse the denial. Ignored for no-verdict denials
WorktreeCreate -- return path (v2.1.84+, http hooks)	{"hookSpecificOutput":{"hookEventName":"WorktreeCreate","worktreePath":"/path/to/worktree"}}
Empty pass-through	{}

PTU -- Modify input

updatedInput REPLACES the entire tool_input object -- always spread the original, never send a partial:

{"hookSpecificOutput":{"hookEventName":"PreToolUse","permissionDecision":"allow","updatedInput":{"prompt":"Modified prompt text","other_field":"preserved"}}}

output({hookSpecificOutput:{hookEventName:'PreToolUse',permissionDecision:'allow',
  updatedInput:{...input.tool_input, prompt:'Modified prompt text'}}});

PTU -- Answer AskUserQuestion (v2.1.85+)

Echo back the original questions array and add an answers object mapping question text -> chosen label:

{"hookSpecificOutput":{"hookEventName":"PreToolUse","permissionDecision":"allow","updatedInput":{"questions":[{"question":"Which database?","header":"DB","options":[{"label":"PostgreSQL"},{"label":"MySQL"}],"multiSelect":false}],"answers":{"Which database?":"PostgreSQL"}}}}

"allow" ALONE is not sufficient for AskUserQuestion/ExitPlanMode -- it must carry updatedInput. Multi-select labels join with commas. PTU precedence across hooks: deny > defer > ask > allow.

SS -- Context injection

{"hookSpecificOutput":{"hookEventName":"SessionStart","additionalContext":"Injected context for Claude","sessionTitle":"My session title","reloadSkills":true},"systemMessage":"Status shown to user only"}

reloadSkills:true re-scans skill + command dirs after the SS hooks finish, so a skill the hook installed is usable in the SAME session. sessionTitle applies on startup/resume/fork, ignored on clear/compact. initialUserMessage creates the first turn in -p mode (AC only attaches to an existing one).

PR -- Allow/Deny

{"hookSpecificOutput":{"hookEventName":"PermissionRequest","decision":{"behavior":"allow"}}}

behavior	Effect
allow	auto-allow
deny	reject without prompting

PR decision.behavior is allow\|deny ONLY -- no ask member. ask exists only as a PTU permissionDecision value (deny/allow/ask/defer).

PR -- Allow with permission mutation

{"hookSpecificOutput":{"hookEventName":"PermissionRequest","decision":{"behavior":"allow","updatedInput":{"command":"npm test"},"updatedPermissions":[{"type":"addRules","rules":[{"toolName":"Bash","ruleContent":"npm *"}],"behavior":"allow","destination":"session"}]}}}

Elicitation -- MCP form response (v2.1.76+)

{"hookSpecificOutput":{"hookEventName":"Elicitation","action":"accept","content":{"field_name":"value"}}}

action	Effect
accept	auto-fill MCP form with content
decline	decline elicitation
cancel	cancel elicitation

7. Templates

Bash Hook Template

Exactly ONE printf reaches stdout, on every path. Decide into $DECISION, emit once at the end -- never echo '{}' before a decision, or the hook prints two objects and the decision is discarded.

#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
# Hook: PreToolUse | Matcher: Bash | Purpose: deny destructive commands
INPUT=$(cat)
EVENT=$(echo "$INPUT" | jq -r '.hook_event_name // empty')
COMMAND=$(echo "$INPUT" | jq -r '.tool_input.command // empty')

# Stop/SubagentStop only -- prevents an infinite block loop.
STOP_ACTIVE=$(echo "$INPUT" | jq -r '.stop_hook_active // false')
if [ "$STOP_ACTIVE" = "true" ]; then printf '%s\n' '{}'; exit 0; fi

DECISION='{}'                       # pass-through: hook renders no verdict
if printf '%s' "$COMMAND" | grep -qE 'rm[[:space:]]+-rf'; then
  DECISION=$(jq -n --arg reason "Destructive command blocked by hook" \
    '{"hookSpecificOutput":{"hookEventName":"PreToolUse","permissionDecision":"deny","permissionDecisionReason":$reason}}')
fi

printf '%s\n' "$DECISION"           # the ONLY write to stdout

Swap the DECISION=$(jq -n ...) line per event -- the shape changes, the single-emit structure does not:

Event	DECISION=$(jq -n ...) payload
PTU inject context	'{"hookSpecificOutput":{"hookEventName":"PreToolUse","permissionDecision":"allow","additionalContext":$ctx}}'
Stop block	'{"decision":"block","reason":$reason}'
POT block	'{"decision":"block","reason":$reason}'
SS context	'{"hookSpecificOutput":{"hookEventName":"SessionStart","additionalContext":$ctx}}'

A hook enforcing a hard invariant must not let a jq/parse failure become silent approval: set -euo pipefail aborts before the printf, which Claude Code reads as a non-blocking error and the action proceeds. Wrap the check so failure lands on the deny branch, not on an abort.

JS/mjs Hook Template

output() is called exactly once on every path, decide() is the only place that chooses a verdict.

#!/usr/bin/env node
// Hook: PreToolUse | Matcher: Bash | Purpose: deny destructive commands

async function readStdin() {
  const chunks = [];
  for await (const chunk of process.stdin) chunks.push(chunk);
  return JSON.parse(Buffer.concat(chunks).toString('utf8'));
}
function output(response) { console.log(JSON.stringify(response)); }

/** Returns the single JSON object this hook prints. `{}` = no verdict, not approval. */
function decide(input) {
  // Stop/SubagentStop only -- prevents an infinite block loop.
  if (input.stop_hook_active) return {};

  // per-event fields: see "Key stdin fields", ## 2. All 31 Hook Events.
  // UserPromptSubmit -> input.prompt | POT -> input.tool_response | PostToolBatch -> input.tool_calls
  const command = input.tool_input?.command ?? '';
  if (/rm\s+-rf/.test(command)) {
    return { hookSpecificOutput: { hookEventName: 'PreToolUse', permissionDecision: 'deny',
      permissionDecisionReason: 'Destructive command blocked by hook' } };
  }
  return {};
}

async function main() {
  try {
    output(decide(await readStdin()));
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(`Hook error: ${error.message}`);   // stderr never pollutes the JSON contract
    output({});                                       // advisory hooks fail open; see ## 9 for gates
  }
}
main();

Other verdicts are a different decide() return, never a second output():

Event	decide() returns
PTU inject context	{hookSpecificOutput:{hookEventName:'PreToolUse',permissionDecision:'allow',additionalContext:'...'}}
PTU modify input	{hookSpecificOutput:{hookEventName:'PreToolUse',permissionDecision:'allow',updatedInput:{...input.tool_input,prompt:'...'}}}
Stop / SubagentStop block	{decision:'block',reason:'Task incomplete'}
POT block	{decision:'block',reason:'Lint failed'}
PermissionDenied retry	{hookSpecificOutput:{hookEventName:'PermissionDenied',retry:true}}

Multi-hook plugin: extract readStdin/output into lib/utils.mjs, import into each hook file.

8. Known Bugs

Bug	Impact	Status	Workaround
#14281	duplicate <system-reminder> injection	active	make context idempotent

All routing channels (UI, AC, decision/reason, systemMessage, permissionDecision) are High reliability today; fix history is in ## 17. Version History -- no separate table.

9. Best Practices

Fail-Safe Design

Practice	Why
Always output({}) on error	!=trap user in broken state (advisory hooks -- see the fail-open/fail-closed row below)
Print exactly ONE JSON object to stdout, on every path	extra stdout lines corrupt parsing; CC reads a single JSON object. Decide into a variable, emit once
All logging/diagnostics to stderr (console.error)	stdout reserved for the JSON contract
stop_hook_active check in Stop/SubagentStop	prevents infinite block loop
try/catch around all logic	graceful degradation
validate stdin before parsing	handle missing/malformed input
keep every output string under 10,000 chars	AC, systemMessage and plain stdout are capped at 10,000; over that the value is written to a file and replaced by a preview + path, so a gate's reason can arrive truncated
choose fail-open vs fail-closed from the invariant	fail-open ({}) is right for advisory/context hooks -- a broken hook then has no effect. A hook enforcing a HARD invariant must instead emit the deny/block with the exception text as its reason, because {} on an enforcement hook is silent approval

Infinite loop protection (Stop/SubagentStop): check stop_hook_active and short-circuit to {} -- see both templates in ## 7. exit 1 is a non-blocking error nearly everywhere: the action proceeds. Enforce with exit 2 or JSON, never exit 1. A mistyped script path exits 127 and leaves the gate silently disabled -- watch for the <hook name> hook error notice on a policy hook's first run.

10. Async Hooks

{"type":"command","command":"node /path/to/hook.mjs","async":true}

Behavior	Details
execution	background, non-blocking. command type only
decision fields	IGNORED
systemMessage	delivered on NEXT turn
AC	may not arrive before Claude processes
asyncRewake:true	implies async; exit 2 wakes Claude with the hook's stderr (or stdout when stderr is empty) as a system reminder -- the only channel a background hook has for a late failure
blocking events	always synchronous (PTU, UserPromptSubmit, UserPromptExpansion, Stop, SubagentStop, PreCompact, PostToolBatch, ConfigChange)
use case	logging, metrics, slow file ops

Event	Sync/Async	Reason
SS	sync (waits)	context needed before first turn
PTU	sync (blocks)	must decide allow/deny before exec
POT	async OK when advisory	sync if it blocks or rewrites updatedToolOutput
PreCompact	sync (blocks)	can veto compaction; must write any handoff first
Notification	async OK	informational

11. Matcher Patterns

Event	Matcher type	Examples
PTU, POT, PostToolUseFailure, PR, PermissionDenied	tool name	Bash, Write|Edit, Task|Agent, mcp__.*
SS	source string	startup,resume,clear,compact,fork
Setup	CLI flag	init,maintenance
SessionEnd	reason string	clear,resume,logout,prompt_input_exit,bypass_permissions_disabled,other
SubagentStart/SubagentStop	agent type	Explore,Plan,general-purpose,my-agent, plugin-scoped ^my-plugin:reviewer$
PreCompact/PCD	trigger	manual,auto
Notification	type string (9)	permission_prompt,idle_prompt,auth_success,elicitation_dialog,elicitation_url_dialog,elicitation_complete,elicitation_response,agent_needs_input,agent_completed
ConfigChange	source string	user_settings,project_settings,local_settings,policy_settings,skills
InstructionsLoaded	load reason	session_start,nested_traversal,path_glob_match,include,compact
DirectoryAdded	how it was added	slash_command,register_repo_root
UserPromptExpansion	command name	your skill or command names
FileChanged	filename (basename)	.envrc|.env
StopFailure	error type (10)	rate_limit,overloaded,authentication_failed,oauth_org_not_allowed,billing_error,invalid_request,model_not_found,server_error,max_output_tokens,unknown
Elicitation/ElicitationResult	MCP server name	server name string
Stop, UserPromptSubmit, PostToolBatch, TeammateIdle, TaskCompleted, TaskCreated, WorktreeCreate, WorktreeRemove, CwdChanged, MD	No matcher	always fires

Omit matcher (or "*"/"") -> fires for ALL instances of that event. Evaluation: only letters/digits/_/-/space/,/| -> exact string or |,,-separated list of exact strings. ANY other character -> unanchored JS regex, so Edit.* also matches NotebookEdit; anchor as ^Edit$ for whole-string. FileChanged and StopFailure use a NARROWER exact set (letters, digits, _, |): a hyphen, space or comma there stays on the regex path and only | separates. MCP tools: the trailing .* is MANDATORY -- mcp__memory is exact-match and matches nothing; use mcp__memory__.*. A PLUGIN-bundled server is scoped: mcp__plugin_<plugin-name>_<server-name>__<tool>, so mcp__plugin_my-plugin_db__.*. A matcher on the bare server key never fires. Same scoped name in if. Hyphenated matcher identifiers exact-match since v2.1.195 (was accidental substring match). Comma- and pipe-separated matcher lists equivalent since v2.1.191.

12. Common Hook Patterns

Pattern	matcher	hooks[0]	Mechanism
Inject context into all SAs	SubagentStart / none	{"type":"command","command":"node inject-context.mjs"}	returns AC, accumulates across hooks -- prefer over UI on PTU Task|Agent (single-writer/last-wins)
Gate dangerous tools	PreToolUse / Bash	{"type":"command","command":"bash validate-bash.sh"}	checks tool_input.command, permissionDecision:"deny" if dangerous
Block stop until task complete	Stop / none	{"type":"command","command":"node check-task.mjs"}	decision:"block"+reason while incomplete
Log all tool calls	PostToolUse / none	{"type":"command","command":"node logger.mjs","async":true}	fire-and-forget, no output needed
Inject project context on SS	SessionStart / none	{"type":"command","command":"bash session-init.sh"}	returns AC with project state

13. Hook Type Selection

DEF to command for deterministic/file/system/performance-critical work; use http for external API/webhook/remote delegation; mcp_tool to reuse an already-configured MCP tool as gate/injector; prompt/agent ONLY when an allow/block gate needs LLM judgment (full type table: ## 3. Hook Types). Lifecycle: hooks load at session start. Config changes require /clear or new session.

14. Workflow

1. Clarify+Design: event, behavior, bash/JS, matcher, output schema, routing channel, config location
2. Implement: use template, add logic, handle errors; configure in settings/hooks.json
3. Test: CLAUDE_DEBUG=1, check verbose (Ctrl+O). Isolate bugs: claude --safe-mode/CLAUDE_CODE_SAFE_MODE=1 disables ALL customizations (CLAUDE.md, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP) to confirm hook is cause (v2.1.169+)
4. Validate: run checklist below

15. Validation Checklist

#	Check
1	correct event type matches intended trigger
2	matcher pattern (regex for tools, string for sources)
3	output schema correct for event
4	routing channel (AC vs UI vs decision)
5	fail-safe: output({}) in catch block
6	stop_hook_active in Stop/SubagentStop hooks
7	stdin parsing handles missing/null fields
8	executable (chmod +x for bash, #!/usr/bin/env node for mjs)
9	config location correct for scope
10	performance <1s for blocking hooks
11	check routing matrix for broken channels
12	syntax check (bash -n or node --check)
13	if field (v2.1.85+) to reduce overhead when applicable -- tool events only
14	hook type (command deterministic, http API/remote, mcp_tool MCP tool, prompt/agent allow-block gate)
15	exactly ONE JSON object on stdout on EVERY path -- test the pass-through path too, not just the decision path
16	fail-open vs fail-closed matches the invariant; an enforcement hook never returns {} on error
17	every output string under 10,000 chars
18	args (exec form) whenever the command references a path placeholder

16. Deliverable Format

=== HOOK CREATED ===
File: /path/to/hook.sh or hook.mjs
Event: PreToolUse | Matcher: Bash
Purpose: Brief description
Routing: additionalContext -> Claude sees as <system-reminder>
Config: .claude/settings.json (or specify location)
Test fire: exit 0, `{}` on malformed stdin, decision landed ✅

Return Contract

Verdict first, <=30 lines, path:line. !=hook bodies, !=stdin/stdout payload dumps, !=CLAUDE_DEBUG transcripts, !=preamble. One block per hook, nothing else. This holds whether or not a return guard is installed.

Checklist §15 is the gate, !=something to transcribe into the return. Debug logs, full payloads, failing runs -> .claude/reports/YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS_hook-creator/ (the checkpoint file is already there), return the path. If the agent-return guard is installed, a return over ~1000 est-tokens (chars/4) is blocked for compression; over ~2500 file the detail and answer with path + verdict + <=3 lines.
