# Automate Claude Code Hooks

Manual hook setup can be hard to coordinate across agents, sessions, Git, and memory tools. This skill provides structured examples for Claude Code hook automation with Claude Flow and MCP workflows.

## Install

```bash
npx skillstore add dnyoussef/hooks-automation

## Capabilities

- Explains pre-operation hooks for edit, Bash, task, and search preparation.
- Shows post-operation hooks for formatting, metrics, memory updates, and pattern training.
- Provides Claude Code settings examples for PreToolUse, PostToolUse, SessionStart, and SessionEnd hooks.
- Documents Git hook workflows for pre-commit, post-commit, and pre-push quality gates.
- Describes MCP memory coordination patterns for swarm agents and sessions.
- Includes troubleshooting guidance for hook execution, timeouts, memory, and performance.

## Use Cases

- Standardize team hook setup: Create a shared Claude Code hook configuration for formatting, validation, and session tracking.
- Coordinate multi-agent workflows: Use hook events to store task context, update agent state, and persist decisions across sessions.
- Add Git quality gates: Connect pre-commit and pre-push checks to validation, formatting, tests, and reporting flows.

## Prompt Templates

### Start basic hooks

```
Use the hooks-automation skill to explain the simplest safe Claude Code hook setup for my project.
```

### Configure edit hooks

```
Using hooks-automation, draft a safe PreToolUse and PostToolUse plan for validating and formatting edited files.
```

### Design session memory flow

```
Use hooks-automation to design a session-start and session-end workflow that saves summaries and restores context.
```

### Audit advanced hook automation

```
Review my proposed Claude Code hook configuration using hooks-automation and identify command injection or secret logging risks.
```

## Limitations

- Requires Claude Flow CLI and compatible Claude Code hook configuration.
- Examples must be reviewed before use because some interpolate tool parameters into shell commands.
- Does not provide a packaged implementation file beyond the documentation.
- MCP and swarm features require separately configured servers and permissions.

## Best Practices

- Review every hook command before enabling it in a shared repository.
- Use wrapper scripts or structured inputs instead of direct shell interpolation.
- Keep hooks fast, observable, and limited to the minimum required automation.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not copy shell interpolation examples into production without escaping and validation.
- Do not log secrets, environment file contents, or full command output by default.
- Do not make heavy checks block every tool call when asynchronous hooks would work.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-09T04:08:01.86\+00:00
- Summary: Most static findings are false positives caused by Markdown code fences, inline command examples, and documentation-only shell snippets. The main security issue is that several hook configuration examples interpolate tool parameters into shell command strings, which can create command injection risk if copied directly.
