Anthropic's Claude Code gains custom hooks for workflow automation and safety

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Anthropic's Claude Code now supports custom hooks that allow developers to automate workflows and enhance safety. These hooks can be configured to run shell scripts before or after tool executions, such as file edits or command executions. For instance, hooks can automatically lint code after edits, block dangerous commands like `rm -rf`, enforce commit message conventions, or inject contextual information like the current Git branch into prompts. This functionality transforms Claude Code from a simple chatbot into a more autonomous engineering system with customizable guardrails. AI
