Repository

Install on your platform

Showing Claude Code. One command installs this skill into any of the agents below.

Installs under a different name. Its SKILL.md names it Hook Development, not the name it is listed under, so the command below uses that name.
  1. 1

    Run this in your project

    terminal
    $ npx skills add anthropics/claude-code --skill "Hook Development" -a claude-code

  2. Uses the open-source skills CLI and needs Node.js. Add -g to install it for your user instead of this project.

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned anthropics/claude-code at 3deb873687.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The hook-development skill enables AI agents to create and manage hooks—customizable functions or triggers that extend functionality in software systems. It supports integration with development tools, scripting environments, and APIs to automate workflows or respond to specific events.

When to use it

  • Automating repetitive tasks during software development cycles.
  • Extending the capabilities of an application through custom event handlers.
  • Integrating third-party services into a system via API hooks.
  • Building modular plugins that interact with existing codebases.

Key capabilities

  • Creation and management of hooks for event-driven programming.
  • Integration with popular development frameworks and tools.
  • Support for scripting languages like Python, JavaScript, and more.
  • Customizable trigger conditions based on user-defined logic or system events.

Example prompts

  • "Create a hook that triggers an alert when a specific API endpoint is accessed."
  • "Set up a post-commit hook to run automated tests after code changes are pushed."
  • "Generate a hook script for integrating a payment gateway into our application."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure compatibility between the hook and the target system's architecture.
  • Test hooks in isolated environments before deploying them to production.
