Claude Code Hooks
Short answer
Claude Code Hooks is a focused Workflow Trust topic for claude code users adding deterministic guardrails. Start by inspecting source-visible repositories, reviewed workflow files, compatible agents, license signals, and maintenance evidence before running anything locally. The practical goal is not to certify a repository as safe, but to help readers decide whether it belongs in a reviewed workflow, pending review candidate, or hidden low-confidence bucket. For this topic, the main review concern is that hook scripts can turn model-controlled text into shell input.
Hooks can make agent behavior more predictable, but they can also run scripts at sensitive lifecycle points. A useful hook page explains the event, command, input data, failure mode, and approval boundary.

FAQ
What makes a Claude Code hook safe enough to inspect?
Small scripts, quoted inputs, clear exit codes, non-production examples, and explicit disable instructions make a hook easier to review.
Should hooks run production deploys?
Not as an early workflow. Production actions need separate review, least-privilege credentials, and rollback notes.
