Hook Development

When to choose it

Adding event-triggered workflow automation to a plugin.

Choose it if: You are adding lifecycle automation to a plugin and need help choosing events and configurations.

Look elsewhere if: You want a ready-to-run hook script; this is an authoring skill whose output still needs validation.

What the source describes

• Explains hook events and configuration
• Includes authoring patterns
• Separates instructions from hook implementation

Requirements

• Install the containing Plugin Dev package

This is a component of Plugin Dev. Install the containing package once to get its components.

Install the containing plugin

Run the installation command in your shell after reviewing the source. Local scope enables the package for you in this repository. It does not enable it for every collaborator.

claude plugin install plugin-dev@claude-plugins-official --scope local

Use it after installation

Ask for a settings hook and name the event and intended behavior. The containing package supplies this skill.

Limitations & considerations

• This is an authoring skill, not a ready-to-run hook
• Validate generated examples against your installed Claude Code version
