Hook Management

Overview

Session-scoped hook lifecycle management for ClaudeKit's event-driven hook system. Provides enable/disable/status controls with execution profiling and performance alerts.

Hook Types

PreToolUse Hooks

• file-guard: Blocks sensitive file access (195+ patterns)

PostToolUse Hooks

• typecheck-changed: Type checking on modified files
• lint-changed: Linting on modified files
• test-changed: Testing related to modified files
• check-comment-replacement: Detects code replaced with comments
• check-unused-parameters: Detects unused function parameters

UserPromptSubmit Hooks

• typecheck-project: Full project type checking
• lint-project: Full project linting
• test-project: Full test suite execution
• self-review: Comprehensive change review

Session Isolation

All hook changes are session-scoped. Disabling a hook only affects the current session and does not persist.

Profiling

• Red alert: execution time > 5s
• Yellow warning: execution time > 3s
• Green: execution time < 3s
• Output size monitoring: flag > 10KB

Commands

• /hook:enable [hookName] -- Enable a disabled hook
• /hook:disable [hookName] -- Disable a hook for this session
• /hook:status -- Show all hook states and profiling data

When to Use

• When a hook is causing issues during a session
• To check performance of hook executions
• To temporarily bypass a hook for a specific operation

Processes Used By

• claudekit-orchestrator (hook pipeline setup)
• claudekit-safety-pipeline (hook profiling)
