How to Get It

Claude Code only: Hooks are configured in your project's .claude/settings.json file. They run automatically before or after Claude takes actions. You can ask Claude to set up a hook for you by describing what you want in your conversation. Not available in Claude Cowork or Claude Chat.

Instructions to paste into Claude
git clone https://github.com/disler/claude-code-hooks-mastery

This is a reference implementation, not a packaged plugin: copy the hook scripts you want from its .claude/hooks/ directory into your own project's .claude/hooks/ and merge the matching entries from its .claude/settings.json into yours. Hooks are UV single-file Python scripts — requires Astral UV and Claude Code.
First thing to try

Things to check

  • Hooks execute in-band and add latency to every API call; poorly designed filters can break application logic. Requires careful testing in staging before production deployment.
  • Single maintainer. Consider the risk if this person stops maintaining the project.
