8.8/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 4/5.

How do I install Hooks Management?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Hooks Management with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 8.8/10
Tested: Jul 13, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Jul 18, 2026 · 05e704d

Asked it to block edits to .env files: the baseline and skill converged on the same exit-2 grep pattern, but the skill added two things the baseline missed — the mandatory 'restart the agent for changes to take effect' warning and a call to the bundled scripts/validate_hooks.py before saving, both genuine gotchas a naive answer skips.

What Hooks Management does

Translates natural-language requests such as 'block edits to .env' or 'ask before destructive Bash' into working hook JSON/TOML for Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenCode, backed by a bundled Python validator and per-platform event/schema references. Triggers on 'add a hook', 'list my hooks', 'remove the hook', 'validate hooks', or any request to automate agent behavior with shell commands or plugins. Steers users toward the built-in permissionDecision confirm UI instead of brittle exit-code or osascript confirmation hacks.
