Hooks Automation

Behavioral Classification

Type: Autonomous Execution

This skill provides hooks that execute automatically in response to Claude Code operations. No interactive decisions required.

Trigger Points:

• Pre-operation: Validates and prepares before edits, commands, tasks
• Post-operation: Formats, analyzes, and trains after operations
• Session: Manages state across sessions
• MCP: Coordinates with swarm agents

---

Overview

Intelligent automation system that coordinates, validates, and learns from Claude Code operations through hooks integrated with MCP tools and neural pattern training.

Key Capabilities:

• Pre-Operation Hooks: Validate, prepare, and auto-assign agents
• Post-Operation Hooks: Format, analyze, and train patterns
• Session Management: Persist state, restore context
• Memory Coordination: Synchronize knowledge across swarm agents
• Git Integration: Automated commit hooks with quality verification
• Neural Training: Continuous learning from successful patterns

Quick Start

Initialize Hooks System

# Initialize with default hooks configuration
npx claude-flow init --hooks

This creates:

• .claude/settings.json with pre-configured hooks
• Hook command documentation in .claude/commands/hooks/
• Default hook handlers for common operations

Basic Hook Usage

# Pre-task hook (auto-spawns agents)
npx claude-flow hook pre-task --description "Implement authentication"

# Post-edit hook (auto-formats and stores in memory)
npx claude-flow hook post-edit --file "src/auth.js" --memory-key "auth/login"

# Session end hook (saves state and metrics)
npx claude-flow hook session-end --session-id "dev-session" --export-metrics
