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.

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.
| Field | Required | Values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | kebab-case string | Unique identifier (verb-first: warn-, block-, require-*) |
| enabled | Yes | true/false | Toggle without deleting |
| event | Yes | bash/file/stop/prompt/all | Which hook event triggers this |
| action | No | warn/block | warn (default) shows message; block prevents operation |
| pattern | Yes* | regex string | Pattern to match (*or use conditions for complex rules) |

name: warn-env-api-keys
enabled: true

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 by event:
commandfile_path, new_text, old_text, contentuser_promptOperators: regex_match, contains, equals, not_contains, starts_with, ends_with
All conditions must match for rule to trigger.
Match Bash command patterns:
rm\s+-rf, dd\s+if=, mkfssudo\s+, su\s+chmod\s+777Match Edit/Write/MultiEdit operations:
console\.log\(, debuggereval\(, innerHTML\s*=\.env$, credentials, \.pem$Completion checks and reminders. Pattern .* matches always.
Match user prompt content for workflow enforcement.

Warning message here
Instinct-based learning system that observes sessions via hooks, creates atomic instincts with confidence scoring, and evolves them into skills/commands/agents. v2.1 adds project-scoped instincts to prevent cross-project contamination.
Orchestrate building a brand-new feature end to end — research, plan, TDD implementation, review, and gated commit — by delegating each phase to the matching ECC agent. Use when adding a capability that does not exist yet.
Orchestrate bootstrapping a working MVP from a design or spec document — ingest the doc, plan thin vertical slices, scaffold the first end-to-end slice, then TDD-implement, review, and gated commit. Use to turn an SDD/PRD into a running starting point.
Orchestrate altering an existing, working feature to new desired behavior — update its tests to the new spec, change the implementation to match, review, and gated commit. Use when behavior is not broken but should be different.
Orchestrate fixing a bug — reproduce it as a failing regression test, fix to green, review, and gated commit — by delegating each phase to the matching ECC agent. Use when existing behavior is broken or wrong.
Shared orchestration engine for the orch-* skill family. Defines the gated Research-Plan-TDD-Review-Commit pipeline, the size classifier, the agent map, and the two human gates that the orch-* operation skills delegate to. Not usually invoked directly.
