HOOK EVENTS
| Event | Timing | Can Block | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| UserPromptSubmit | chat.message |
Yes | Keyword detection, slash commands |
| PreToolUse | tool.execute.before |
Yes | Validate/modify inputs, inject context |
| PostToolUse | tool.execute.after |
No | Truncate output, error recovery |
| Stop | event (session.stop) |
No | Auto-continue, notifications |
| onSummarize | Compaction | No | Preserve state, inject summary context |
EXECUTION ORDER
- UserPromptSubmit: keywordDetector → claudeCodeHooks → autoSlashCommand → startWork
- PreToolUse: questionLabelTruncator → claudeCodeHooks → nonInteractiveEnv → commentChecker → directoryAgentsInjector → directoryReadmeInjector → rulesInjector → prometheusMdOnly → sisyphusJuniorNotepad → atlasHook
- PostToolUse: claudeCodeHooks → toolOutputTruncator → contextWindowMonitor → commentChecker → directoryAgentsInjector → directoryReadmeInjector → rulesInjector → emptyTaskResponseDetector → agentUsageReminder → interactiveBashSession → editErrorRecovery → delegateTaskRetry → atlasHook → taskResumeInfo
HOW TO ADD
- Create
src/hooks/name/withindex.tsexportingcreateMyHook(ctx) - Add hook name to
HookNameSchemainsrc/config/schema.ts - Register in
src/index.tsand add to relevant lifecycle methods
HOOK PATTERNS
Simple Single-Event:
export function createToolOutputTruncatorHook(ctx) {
return { "tool.execute.after": async (input, output) => { ... } }
}
Multi-Event with State:
export function createThinkModeHook() {
const state = new Map<string, ThinkModeState>()
return {
"chat.params": async (output, sessionID) => { ... },
"event": async ({ event }) => { /* cleanup */ }
}
}
ANTI-PATTERNS
- Blocking non-critical: Use PostToolUse warnings instead
- Heavy computation: Keep PreToolUse light to avoid latency
- Redundant injection: Track injected files to avoid context bloat
- Direct state mutation: Use
output.output +=instead of replacing
