Single Responsibility\n\nEach hook should do ONE thing well.\n\n```json\n// GOOD - separate hooks for separate concerns\n{\n \"PostToolUse\": [\n {\n \"matcher\": \"Write|Edit\",\n \"hooks\": [\n {\"type\": \"command\", \"command\": \"~/.claude/hooks/format.sh\"},\n {\"type\": \"command\", \"command\": \"~/.claude/hooks/lint.sh\"},\n {\"type\": \"command\", \"command\": \"~/.claude/hooks/audit.sh\"}\n ]\n }\n ]\n}\n\n// BAD - one hook doing everything\n{\n \"PostToolUse\": [\n {\n \"matcher\": \"Write|Edit\",\n \"hooks\": [\n {\"type\": \"command\", \"command\": \"~/.claude/hooks/do-everything.sh\"}\n ]\n }\n ]\n}\n```\n\n### 2. Fail-Safe Defaults\n\nWhen uncertain, default to safety.\n\n```python\n# GOOD - block on error\ntry:\n result = validate(data)\nexcept Exception:\n print(\"Validation failed - blocking\", file=sys.stderr)\n sys.exit(2) # Block\n\n# BAD - allow on error\ntry:\n result = validate(data)\nexcept Exception:\n sys.exit(0) # Allow anyway\n```\n\n### 3. Fast and Non-Blocking\n\nHooks should be fast. Slow hooks degrade user experience.\n\n| Operation | Target Time |\n|-----------|-------------|\n| Simple validation | \u003c 1 second |\n| File formatting | \u003c 5 seconds |\n| Linting | \u003c 10 seconds |\n| Test running | \u003c 30 seconds |\n\n```json\n// Set appropriate timeouts\n{\n \"type\": \"command\",\n \"command\": \"~/.claude/hooks/fast-check.sh\",\n \"timeout\": 5 // Fast operations\n}\n\n{\n \"type\": \"command\",\n \"command\": \"~/.claude/hooks/run-tests.sh\",\n \"timeout\": 120 // Slow operations\n}\n```\n\n### 4. Graceful Degradation\n\nHooks should never break Claude's core functionality.\n\n```bash\n#!/bin/bash\n# GOOD - continue if formatter not installed\nif command -v prettier &> /dev/null; then\n prettier --write \"$file\" || true\nfi\nexit 0\n\n# BAD - fail if formatter not installed\nprettier --write \"$file\" # Crashes if not installed\n```\n\n### 5. Idempotent Operations\n\nRunning a hook multiple times should produce the same result.\n\n```python\n# GOOD - idempotent\ndef add_license_header(content):\n if content.startswith(\"/* License */\"):\n return content # Already has header\n return \"/* License */\\n\" + content\n\n# BAD - not idempotent\ndef add_license_header(content):\n return \"/* License */\\n\" + content # Adds multiple headers\n```\n\n---\n\n## Security Best Practices\n\n### 1. Quote All Variables\n\n**CRITICAL**: Unquoted variables enable command injection.\n\n```bash\n# DANGEROUS - command injection\nfile_path=$(echo \"$input\" | jq -r '.tool_input.file_path')\nrm $file_path # If file_path is \"; rm -rf /\", disaster\n\n# SAFE - properly quoted\nfile_path=$(echo \"$input\" | jq -r '.tool_input.file_path')\nrm -- \"$file_path\" # -- prevents flag injection\n```\n\n### 2. Parse JSON Properly\n\nNever use grep/sed/awk to parse JSON.\n\n```bash\n# DANGEROUS - regex parsing\nfile_path=$(echo \"$input\" | grep -o '\"file_path\":\"[^\"]*\"' | cut -d'\"' -f4)\n\n# SAFE - proper JSON parsing\nfile_path=$(echo \"$input\" | jq -r '.tool_input.file_path')\n```\n\n```python\n# DANGEROUS - string manipulation\nimport re\nmatch = re.search(r'\"file_path\":\"([^\"]*)\"', input_str)\n\n# SAFE - proper JSON parsing\nimport json\ndata = json.load(sys.stdin)\nfile_path = data.get('tool_input', {}).get('file_path', '')\n```\n\n### 3. Validate and Sanitize Paths\n\n```python\nimport os\n\ndef safe_path(path: str, allowed_root: str) -> str:\n \"\"\"Validate and normalize path.\"\"\"\n # Expand user home\n if path.startswith('~'):\n path = os.path.expanduser(path)\n\n # Make absolute\n path = os.path.abspath(path)\n\n # Normalize (resolve .., .)\n path = os.path.normpath(path)\n\n # Check for traversal\n if not path.startswith(allowed_root):\n raise ValueError(f\"Path outside allowed directory: {path}\")\n\n return path\n```\n\n### 4. Never Log Sensitive Data\n\n```python\n# DANGEROUS - logs secrets\ndef process(data):\n print(f\"Processing: {data}\") # May contain secrets\n\n# SAFE - sanitize before logging\ndef process(data):\n safe_data = {k: v for k, v in data.items() if k not in ['content', 'token']}\n print(f\"Processing tool: {safe_data.get('tool_name')}\")\n```\n\n### 5. No Privilege Escalation\n\n```bash\n# DANGEROUS - never use sudo in hooks\nsudo rm -rf \"$path\"\nsudo chmod 777 \"$file\"\n\n# SAFE - operate with user permissions only\nrm -- \"$path\"\nchmod 644 \"$file\"\n```\n\n### 6. Audit Project Hooks\n\nBefore running code from a repository:\n\n```bash\n# Review project hooks before trusting\ncat .claude/settings.json | jq '.hooks'\n\n# Check hook scripts\nfind .claude/hooks -type f -name \"*.sh\" -exec cat {} \\;\n```\n\n### 7. Use Separate Processes\n\nDon't execute untrusted input in the same process.\n\n```python\n# DANGEROUS - eval of untrusted input\neval(data.get('code'))\n\n# SAFE - subprocess with restrictions\nimport subprocess\nsubprocess.run(\n ['python3', '-c', validated_code],\n timeout=10,\n capture_output=True\n)\n```\n\n---\n\n## Security Checklist\n\nBefore deploying hooks:\n\n- [ ] All shell variables are quoted (`\"$var\"`)\n- [ ] JSON is parsed with jq/json library (not grep/sed)\n- [ ] Paths are validated and normalized\n- [ ] No sensitive data in logs or output\n- [ ] No sudo or privilege escalation\n- [ ] Scripts tested manually first\n- [ ] Project hooks reviewed before running\n- [ ] Timeouts set appropriately\n- [ ] Error handling prevents crashes\n- [ ] Exit codes are correct (2 for blocking)\n\n---\n\n## Performance Optimization\n\n### 1. Use Appropriate Timeouts\n\n```json\n{\n \"hooks\": {\n \"PreToolUse\": [{\n \"matcher\": \"Write\",\n \"hooks\": [{\n \"type\": \"command\",\n \"command\": \"~/.claude/hooks/validate.sh\",\n \"timeout\": 5 // Short - validation should be fast\n }]\n }],\n \"PostToolUse\": [{\n \"matcher\": \"Write\",\n \"hooks\": [{\n \"type\": \"command\",\n \"command\": \"~/.claude/hooks/format.sh\",\n \"timeout\": 30 // Longer - formatting takes time\n }]\n }]\n }\n}\n```\n\n### 2. Check Tool Availability Once\n\n```bash\n#!/bin/bash\n# Check at script start, not per-file\nif ! command -v prettier &> /dev/null; then\n exit 0 # Skip if not installed\nfi\n\n# Now use prettier without checking each time\nprettier --write \"$file\"\n```\n\n### 3. Batch Operations When Possible\n\n```python\n# Instead of running linter per-file in hook,\n# collect files and run once at session end\n# or use PostToolUse with debouncing\n```\n\n### 4. Use Early Returns\n\n```python\ndef main():\n data = json.load(sys.stdin)\n file_path = data.get('tool_input', {}).get('file_path', '')\n\n # Early returns for common skip cases\n if not file_path:\n sys.exit(0)\n\n if '/node_modules/' in file_path:\n sys.exit(0)\n\n if not file_path.endswith(('.js', '.ts')):\n sys.exit(0)\n\n # Expensive operations only if needed\n run_expensive_validation(file_path)\n```\n\n---\n\n## Team Deployment\n\n### Project Hooks (Recommended)\n\nCommit hooks to version control for team sharing:\n\n```\nproject/\n├── .claude/\n│ ├── settings.json # Hook configuration\n│ └── hooks/ # Hook scripts\n│ ├── format.sh\n│ └── validate.py\n├── .gitignore\n└── ...\n```\n\n**.gitignore:**\n```gitignore\n# Don't ignore hooks\n!.claude/\n!.claude/hooks/\n!.claude/settings.json\n\n# But ignore local overrides\n.claude/settings.local.json\n```\n\n### Personal Overrides\n\nAllow team members to customize:\n\n**.claude/settings.local.json** (gitignored):\n```json\n{\n \"hooks\": {\n \"PostToolUse\": []\n }\n}\n```\n\n### Gradual Rollout Strategy\n\n1. **Phase 1: Logging Only**\n ```python\n # Just log, don't block\n log_warn(f\"Would block: {file_path}\")\n sys.exit(0)\n ```\n\n2. **Phase 2: Warning Mode**\n ```python\n # Ask instead of block\n output = {\"hookSpecificOutput\": {\"permissionDecision\": \"ask\", ...}}\n ```\n\n3. **Phase 3: Enforcement**\n ```python\n # Block violations\n print(\"BLOCKED\", file=sys.stderr)\n sys.exit(2)\n ```\n\n### Documentation for Team\n\nInclude a README in hooks directory:\n\n```markdown\n# Project Hooks\n\n## What These Do\n- format.sh: Auto-formats code after writes\n- validate.py: Blocks writes to sensitive files\n\n## How to Disable Locally\nCreate `.claude/settings.local.json`:\n```json\n{\"hooks\": {\"PostToolUse\": []}}\n```\n\n## Requirements\n- Python 3.8+\n- jq\n- prettier (optional)\n```\n\n---\n\n## Error Handling\n\n### Always Handle stdin Errors\n\n```python\ntry:\n data = json.load(sys.stdin)\nexcept json.JSONDecodeError:\n # Can't parse - allow operation\n sys.exit(0)\nexcept Exception as e:\n # Log but don't block\n print(f\"Hook error: {e}\", file=sys.stderr)\n sys.exit(0)\n```\n\n### Use Try/Except Around External Commands\n\n```python\ntry:\n result = subprocess.run(\n ['prettier', '--write', file_path],\n capture_output=True,\n timeout=30\n )\nexcept subprocess.TimeoutExpired:\n print(\"Formatter timed out\", file=sys.stderr)\nexcept FileNotFoundError:\n pass # Formatter not installed, skip\n```\n\n### Log Errors for Debugging\n\n```python\nimport logging\nfrom pathlib import Path\n\nlog_file = Path.home() / '.claude' / 'hooks.log'\nlogging.basicConfig(filename=log_file, level=logging.DEBUG)\n\ntry:\n # Hook logic\n pass\nexcept Exception as e:\n logging.exception(\"Hook failed\")\n sys.exit(0) # Don't block on errors\n```\n\n---\n\n## Anti-Patterns to Avoid\n\n### 1. Blocking on Non-Critical Errors\n\n```python\n# BAD - blocks if formatter fails\nresult = subprocess.run(['prettier', file])\nif result.returncode != 0:\n sys.exit(2) # Blocks Claude\n\n# GOOD - log and continue\nresult = subprocess.run(['prettier', file])\nif result.returncode != 0:\n log_warning(f\"Formatter failed: {result.stderr}\")\n sys.exit(0) # Don't block\n```\n\n### 2. Infinite Loops\n\n```python\n# BAD - hook modifies file, triggers itself\ndef on_post_write(file_path):\n content = read_file(file_path)\n modified = add_header(content)\n write_file(file_path, modified) # Triggers PostToolUse again!\n\n# GOOD - check if already processed\ndef on_post_write(file_path):\n content = read_file(file_path)\n if has_header(content):\n return # Already processed\n modified = add_header(content)\n write_file(file_path, modified)\n```\n\n### 3. Hardcoded Paths\n\n```python\n# BAD - hardcoded path\nconfig = json.load(open('/home/user/project/.claude/config.json'))\n\n# GOOD - use environment variables\nproject_dir = os.environ.get('CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR', os.getcwd())\nconfig_path = os.path.join(project_dir, '.claude/config.json')\n```\n\n### 4. Silent Failures\n\n```python\n# BAD - fails silently\ntry:\n validate(data)\nexcept:\n pass\n\n# GOOD - log failures\ntry:\n validate(data)\nexcept Exception as e:\n logging.error(f\"Validation failed: {e}\")\n```\n\n### 5. Complex Shell One-Liners\n\n```json\n// BAD - hard to debug\n{\n \"command\": \"cat | jq -r '.tool_input.file_path' | xargs -I {} sh -c 'test -f {} && prettier --write {} || true'\"\n}\n\n// GOOD - use external script\n{\n \"command\": \"~/.claude/hooks/format.sh\"\n}\n```\n\n### 6. Modifying Input Without Allowing\n\n```python\n# BAD - modifies but doesn't set decision\noutput = {\n \"hookSpecificOutput\": {\n \"updatedInput\": {\"content\": new_content}\n # Missing permissionDecision!\n }\n}\n\n# GOOD - always include decision with modifications\noutput = {\n \"hookSpecificOutput\": {\n \"hookEventName\": \"PreToolUse\",\n \"permissionDecision\": \"allow\",\n \"updatedInput\": {\"content\": new_content}\n }\n}\n```\n\n### 7. Trusting tool_input Blindly\n\n```python\n# BAD - uses path without validation\nfile_path = data['tool_input']['file_path']\nos.remove(file_path)\n\n# GOOD - validate before using\nfile_path = data.get('tool_input', {}).get('file_path', '')\nif not file_path:\n sys.exit(0)\nif '..' in file_path or not file_path.startswith(allowed_dir):\n print(\"Invalid path\", file=sys.stderr)\n sys.exit(2)\n```\n\n### 8. Running Heavy Operations on Every Tool\n\n```python\n# BAD - runs full test suite after every write\ndef on_post_write():\n subprocess.run(['npm', 'test']) # Takes 2 minutes!\n\n# GOOD - run only related tests\ndef on_post_write(file_path):\n test_file = find_related_test(file_path)\n if test_file:\n subprocess.run(['npm', 'test', test_file])\n```\n\n---\n\n## Testing Hooks\n\n### Manual Testing\n\n```bash\n# Create mock input\ncat > /tmp/mock.json \u003c\u003c 'EOF'\n{\n \"session_id\": \"test\",\n \"hook_event_name\": \"PreToolUse\",\n \"tool_name\": \"Write\",\n \"tool_input\": {\n \"file_path\": \"/tmp/test.txt\",\n \"content\": \"test\"\n }\n}\nEOF\n\n# Test hook\ncat /tmp/mock.json | ~/.claude/hooks/my-hook.py\necho \"Exit code: $?\"\n```\n\n### Edge Case Testing\n\n```bash\n# Empty input\necho '{}' | ~/.claude/hooks/my-hook.py\n\n# Missing fields\necho '{\"tool_name\": \"Write\"}' | ~/.claude/hooks/my-hook.py\n\n# Malicious input\necho '{\"tool_input\": {\"file_path\": \"; rm -rf /\"}}' | ~/.claude/hooks/my-hook.py\n```\n\n### Integration Testing\n\n```bash\n# Start Claude with debug\nclaude --debug\n\n# Watch hook execution\n# Trigger relevant tools\n```\n\n---\n\n## Maintenance\n\n### Version Control Hook Scripts\n\n```bash\n# Track changes\ngit add .claude/hooks/\ngit commit -m \"feat: add code formatting hook\"\n```\n\n### Monitor Hook Performance\n\n```bash\n# Time hook execution\ntime (echo '{}' | ~/.claude/hooks/my-hook.py)\n```\n\n### Regular Audits\n\n- Review hook scripts monthly\n- Update dependencies\n- Check for security advisories\n- Prune unused hooks\n","content_type":"text/markdown;

block/allow as expected\n- Unexpected behavior after hook execution\n- stderr messages appearing unexpectedly\n\n**Causes & Solutions:**\n\n| Exit Code | Expected Behavior | Common Mistake |\n|-----------|------------------|----------------|\n| 0 | Success, parse stdout | Hook returns 1 instead |\n| 2 | Block operation | Using exit 1 (non-blocking) |\n| 1 | Non-blocking error | Meant to block, used wrong code |\n\n**Fix:**\n```bash\n# WRONG - won't block\nif [[ dangerous ]]; then\n echo \"Error\" >&2\n exit 1 # Non-blocking!\nfi\n\n# RIGHT - will block\nif [[ dangerous ]]; then\n echo \"BLOCKED: reason\" >&2\n exit 2 # Blocking error\nfi\n```\n\n---\n\n### Issue 3: JSON Parse Failures\n\n**Symptoms:**\n- Hook crashes with JSON error\n- \"JSONDecodeError\" in debug output\n- Hook works sometimes but not always\n\n**Causes & Solutions:**\n\n| Cause | Solution |\n|-------|----------|\n| Invalid JSON from stdin | Check `cat` or read command |\n| Empty stdin | Handle empty input gracefully |\n| Non-JSON output | Ensure stdout is valid JSON or empty |\n\n**Fix:**\n```python\n# Robust JSON reading\nimport sys\nimport json\n\ntry:\n data = json.load(sys.stdin)\nexcept json.JSONDecodeError:\n sys.exit(0) # Allow if can't parse\nexcept Exception:\n sys.exit(0)\n```\n\n```bash\n# Robust bash parsing\ninput=$(cat) || exit 0\nif [[ -z \"$input\" ]]; then\n exit 0\nfi\ntool_name=$(echo \"$input\" | jq -r '.tool_name // empty') || exit 0\n```\n\n---\n\n### Issue 4: Permission Denied\n\n**Symptoms:**\n- \"Permission denied\" error\n- Hook listed but doesn't execute\n- Works when run manually, fails in Claude\n\n**Causes & Solutions:**\n\n| Cause | Solution |\n|-------|----------|\n| Script not executable | `chmod +x script.sh` |\n| Wrong shebang | Add `#!/bin/bash` or `#!/usr/bin/env python3` |\n| Path issues | Use absolute paths |\n\n**Fix:**\n```bash\n# Make executable\nchmod +x ~/.claude/hooks/my-hook.sh\nchmod +x ~/.claude/hooks/my-hook.py\n\n# Verify\nls -la ~/.claude/hooks/\n# Should show: -rwxr-xr-x\n\n# Check shebang\nhead -1 ~/.claude/hooks/my-hook.sh\n# Should be: #!/bin/bash\n```\n\n---\n\n### Issue 5: Timeout Exceeded\n\n**Symptoms:**\n- Hook starts but gets killed\n- \"Timeout\" in debug output\n- Works locally but fails in Claude\n\n**Causes & Solutions:**\n\n| Cause | Solution |\n|-------|----------|\n| Slow network call | Increase timeout or make async |\n| Heavy computation | Optimize or increase timeout |\n| Infinite loop | Fix loop condition |\n| Blocking on input | Check stdin reading |\n\n**Fix:**\n```json\n// Increase timeout for slow operations\n{\n \"type\": \"command\",\n \"command\": \"~/.claude/hooks/slow-check.sh\",\n \"timeout\": 120 // 2 minutes instead of default 60\n}\n```\n\n```python\n# Add timeout to subprocess calls\nimport subprocess\ntry:\n result = subprocess.run(\n ['slow-command'],\n timeout=30, # Internal timeout\n capture_output=True\n )\nexcept subprocess.TimeoutExpired:\n sys.exit(0) # Allow if timeout\n```\n\n---\n\n### Issue 6: Matcher Not Matching\n\n**Symptoms:**\n- Hook registered but doesn't trigger for expected tool\n- Works for some tools but not others\n\n**Causes & Solutions:**\n\n| Cause | Solution |\n|-------|----------|\n| Case sensitivity | `\"Write\"` not `\"write\"` |\n| Regex escape | `\"Write\\|Edit\"` for OR |\n| MCP tool naming | `\"mcp__server__tool\"` pattern |\n| Bash subpattern | `\"Bash(git:*)\"` format |\n\n**Debugging:**\n```bash\n# Check exact tool names\n/tools # List available tools\n\n# Test regex pattern\necho \"Write\" | grep -E \"Write|Edit\" # Should match\necho \"Bash\" | grep -E \"Bash\" # Should match\necho \"mcp__memory__store\" | grep -E \"mcp__memory__.*\" # Should match\n```\n\n**Common patterns:**\n```json\n\"matcher\": \"Write\" // Exact match\n\"matcher\": \"Write|Edit\" // OR (escape pipe in JSON)\n\"matcher\": \"Write\\\\|Edit\" // OR (double escape sometimes needed)\n\"matcher\": \"Bash\" // All Bash commands\n\"matcher\": \"Bash(git:*)\" // Only git commands\n\"matcher\": \"*\" // All tools\n```\n\n---\n\n### Issue 7: Script Not Found\n\n**Symptoms:**\n- \"No such file or directory\"\n- \"command not found\"\n- Hook registered but fails immediately\n\n**Causes & Solutions:**\n\n| Cause | Solution |\n|-------|----------|\n| Wrong path | Use absolute path |\n| Spaces in path | Quote path with `\\\"` |\n| Missing interpreter | Check `python3`, `bash` available |\n\n**Fix:**\n```json\n// WRONG - relative path\n{\n \"command\": \".claude/hooks/my-hook.sh\"\n}\n\n// WRONG - unquoted path with potential spaces\n{\n \"command\": \"$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/hooks/my-hook.sh\"\n}\n\n// RIGHT - quoted absolute

Environment Variables Missing\n\n**Symptoms:**\n- `$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR` is empty\n- Script can't find project files\n- Different behavior in Claude vs terminal\n\n**Causes & Solutions:**\n\n| Cause | Solution |\n|-------|----------|\n| Wrong variable name | Use exact name: `CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR` |\n| Not available for event | Check event supports variable |\n| Shell escaping | Use `\"$VAR\"` not `$VAR` |\n\n**Available variables by event:**\n```\nAll events:\n- CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR\n- CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE\n\nSessionStart only:\n- CLAUDE_ENV_FILE\n\nPlugin hooks only:\n- CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT\n```\n\n**Debugging:**\n```bash\n# Check variable is set\necho \"Project: $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR\" >> /tmp/debug.log\n```\n\n---\n\n### Issue 9: Output Not Parsed\n\n**Symptoms:**\n- Hook returns JSON but decision ignored\n- `permissionDecision` not taking effect\n- `updatedInput` not applied\n\n**Causes & Solutions:**\n\n| Cause | Solution |\n|-------|----------|\n| Non-zero exit code | Ensure `exit 0` |\n| Invalid JSON | Validate with `jq` |\n| Wrong structure | Check `hookSpecificOutput` nesting |\n| Missing `hookEventName` | Include in output |\n\n**Correct output structure:**\n```json\n{\n \"hookSpecificOutput\": {\n \"hookEventName\": \"PreToolUse\",\n \"permissionDecision\": \"allow\",\n \"permissionDecisionReason\": \"reason\",\n \"updatedInput\": {\n \"field\": \"value\"\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n**Debugging:**\n```bash\n# Test output is valid JSON\necho '{\"hookSpecificOutput\": {\"permissionDecision\": \"allow\"}}' | jq .\n\n# Run hook and validate output\ncat /tmp/mock.json | ~/.claude/hooks/my-hook.py | jq .\n```\n\n---\n\n### Issue 10: Security Blocking\n\n**Symptoms:**\n- Hook blocked by security policy\n- Works locally but fails in Claude\n- \"Operation not permitted\"\n\n**Causes & Solutions:**\n\n| Cause | Solution |\n|-------|----------|\n| Sandbox restrictions | Check allowed operations |\n| Network access blocked | Use local operations |\n| File access restricted | Check permissions |\n\n**Debugging:**\n```bash\n# Check what's allowed\nclaude --debug # Look for security messages\n\n# Test simpler operation

Check `/hooks` command — is it registered?\n2. Verify matcher case — `\"Write\"` not `\"write\"`\n3. Check event name — `\"PostToolUse\"` not `\"postToolUse\"`\n\n### Command failing\n1. Test command manually in terminal first\n2. Add `|| true` to prevent failures from showing\n3. Check file permissions on log files\n\n### No output visible\n1. PostToolUse output only shows in `--debug` mode\n2. Use `>> file.log` to capture output\n3.

\"PreToolUse\",\n \"cwd\": \"/home/user/project\",\n \"permission_mode\": \"default\",\n \"tool_name\": \"Write\",\n \"tool_input\": {\n \"file_path\": \"/home/user/project/test.txt\",\n \"content\": \"Hello, World!\"\n },\n \"tool_use_id\": \"toolu_test\"\n}\nEOF\n```\n\n### Run Script with Mock\n```bash\ncat /tmp/mock-pretool.json | ~/.claude/hooks/my-hook.sh\necho \"Exit code: $?\"\n```\n\n### Test Edge Cases\n```bash\n# Empty input\necho '{}' | ~/.claude/hooks/my-hook.sh\n\n# Missing fields\necho '{\"tool_name\": \"Write\"}' | ~/.claude/hooks/my-hook.sh\n\n# Malicious path\necho '{\"tool_input\": {\"file_path\": \"; rm -rf /\"}}' | ~/.claude/hooks/my-hook.sh\n```\n\n---\n\n## Next Steps\n\nOnce comfortable with scripts:\n1. **Add decision control** →
