Writing Hookify Rules
Overview
Hookify rules are markdown files with YAML frontmatter that define patterns to watch for and messages to show when those patterns match. Rules are stored in .claude/hookify.{rule-name}.local.md files.
Rule File Format
Basic Structure
---
name: rule-identifier
enabled: true
event: bash|file|stop|prompt|all
pattern: regex-pattern-here
---
Message to show Claude when this rule triggers.
Can include markdown formatting, warnings, suggestions, etc.
Frontmatter Fields
name (required): Unique identifier for the rule
Use kebab-case: warn-dangerous-rm, block-console-log
Be descriptive and action-oriented
Start with verb: warn, prevent, block, require, check
enabled (required): Boolean to activate/deactivate
true: Rule is active
false: Rule is disabled (won't trigger)
Can toggle without deleting rule
event (required): Which hook event to trigger on
bash: Bash tool commands
file: Edit, Write, MultiEdit tools
stop: When agent wants to stop
prompt: When user submits a prompt
all: All events
action (optional): What to do when rule matches
warn: Show message but allow operation (default)
block: Prevent operation (PreToolUse) or stop session (Stop events)
If omitted, defaults to warn
pattern (simple format): Regex pattern to match
Used for simple single-condition rules
Matches against command (bash) or new_text (file)
Python regex syntax
Example:
event:bashpattern:rm\s+-rf
Advanced Format (Multiple Conditions)
For complex rules with multiple conditions:
---
name: warn-env-file-edits
enabled: true
event: file
conditions:
- field: file_path
operator: regex_match
pattern: \.env$
- field: new_text
operator: contains
pattern: API_KEY
---
You're adding an API key to a .env file. Ensure this file is in .gitignore!
Condition fields:
field: Which field to check
For bash: command
For file: file_path, new_text, old_text, content
operator: How to match
regex_match: Regex pattern matching
contains: Substring check
equals: Exact match
not_contains: Substring must NOT be present
starts_with: Prefix check
ends_with: Suffix check
pattern: Pattern or string to match
All conditions must match for rule to trigger.
Message Body
The markdown content after frontmatter is shown to Claude when the rule triggers.
Good messages:
Explain what was detected
Explain why it's problematic
Suggest alternatives or best practices
Use formatting for clarity (bold, lists, etc.)
Example:
⚠️ **Console.log detected!**
You're adding console.log to production code.
**Why this matters:**- Debug logs shouldn't ship to production
- Console.log can expose sensitive data
- Impacts browser performance
**Alternatives:**- Use a proper logging library
- Remove before committing
- Use conditional debug builds
