Claude Code hooks miss file edits in testing

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A recent test revealed that Anthropic's Claude Code, when integrated with specific hooks, only recognized a portion of file changes made during its operations. While a 'Stop' hook using `git status` successfully identified all seven file modifications, a 'PostToolUse' hook configured with an 'Edit|MultiEdit|Write' matcher only detected three of these changes. This discrepancy highlights potential limitations in how Claude Code's hooks process edits, particularly when direct bash commands bypass the standard matching mechanisms. AI
