Hooks Configuration

Hooks are configured in .claude/settings.json using the new event-based system.

Hook Events

UserPromptSubmit Before user prompt is sent
PreToolUse Before a tool executes
PostToolUse After a tool completes
SessionStart When session begins
Stop When Claude stops

Basic Configuration

  "hooks": {
    "PreToolUse": [
      {
        "matcher": { "tool": "Bash" },
        "command": "echo 'Running command...'"
      }
    ],
    "PostToolUse": [
      {
        "matcher": { "tool": "Write" },
        "command": "echo 'File written: $TOOL_INPUT_PATH'"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Auto-Lint on File Write

        "command": "npx eslint --fix $TOOL_INPUT_PATH"
      },
      {
        "matcher": { "tool": "Write", "path": "*.tsx" },
        "command": "npx eslint --fix $TOOL_INPUT_PATH"
      },
      {
        "matcher": { "tool": "Write", "path": "*.py" },
